New Children’s Program Starting!!!
Posted by: | CommentsWe are excited to announce that there will be a new opportunity for your child to learn, serve and have some fun!
Please join us on Wednesday, October 5, 6:00-7:30 pm, here at the church in Fellowship Hall.
The focus of this progam will be to engage our children in service projects- maybe making someone a Thanksgiving Basket, or a special gift- and then delivering those gifts to some in our community who would be encouraged by them.
Meeting will take place every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, 6:00-7:30 pm.
Part of the fun next week will be coming up with a name!! Any questions, please call the church office or Alicia Moeller.

Breaking Bread Sundays
Posted by: | CommentsWhat a great time we had in worship on Sunday! In many ways, I think I felt like the people in the early church- because as we devoted ourselves to a time of listening to the apostle’s teaching, to fellowship, to breaking bread together and to prayer, I did feel a sense of awe at God’s goodness to us- just as Acts tells us the early church was filled with awe!
So please, remember to mark on your calendars that the first Sunday of every month is going to be Breaking Bread Sunday- we’ll gather for a continental breakfast and worship at 10 am- be sure to join us and be encouraged!
Proof We Survived
Posted by: | CommentsSome have asked if we really did have our camping trip the weekend of the storm. Yes, we did, though we did cut it short, and a number of folks had to cancel- but those of us who were able to go had a great time together, and everyone got home and settled before the storm came.
We plan on having another camping weekend next year, so keep your eyes open for the dates and join us!
