Weekly Update: September 18, 2024
Word from the Pastor:
I pray this weekly Newsletter finds you doing well, while attempting to stay cool these last several days. I wanted to use this platform for two things this week:
Vision Talk: Thank you to everyone who were able to make it to the after church business meeting. If you did not have the opportunity to attend and hear my short talk about where we are going as a church, you can find that on the Listen page titled “The Church of Doing Things.”
This week we began a mini series out of the Sermon on the Mount about the God who is in Silence. For the first week, we took a 30,000 foot view of being called into the silence of God. This coming Sunday, I want to bring it down to the personal and share my own personal experience along with a couple examples from scripture.
Have a great week and we'll see you on Sunday!

Social Hour: Sundays at 10:00 am
Our social hour is a great way to get to know each other over breakfast tacos! We meet in the Education Building at 10:00 a.m. before the 11:00 a.m. church service.
Volunteer Opportunity
Thanks to Ben Roberts for serving in the lector position! We continue to need volunteers for this position, preferably for monthly commitments at a minimum. Responsibilities on Sunday mornings include welcoming the congregation, announcements, leading the scripture reading and the Nicene Creed. Please be in prayer about this need for our church. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please complete this form or contact a trustee or the pastor.

September donation requests for the pantry are crackers, boxed cereals and refried beans (pouches preferred). We accept any non-perishable food items at any time, as well as diapers and wipes.
