Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00am this Sunday morning, November 1. Clocks "fall back" one hour to 1:00am, marking the return to standard time. Please remember to set your clocks back one hour before you retire on Saturday evening.

In recognition of All Saints Sunday (November 1), we are offering a 5pm worship service as an additional time for people to gather to worship and reflect on the saints in their lives and the faithfulness of God. This service will be similar to the morning services in a more contemplative atmosphere. We invite you to gather for worship at any of the three services this Sunday.

"Freeing Jesus" by Diana Butler Bass

9:30am Sundays in the A-B Classroom

For this Sunday, please read Chapter 6 of "Freeing Jesus”. Our book study wraps up this Sunday morning, Nov 1, led by Marla Briggs.

On Nov 8 we will begin a 3-week series on Esther, led by Rosemary Sixbey.

As we seek to faithfully live out our ministry and mission in 2027, the Session is asking everyone who considers MIPC their church community to turn in a pledge (an estimate of giving) for the coming year, which will enable the leadership to create a thoughtful budget for the year. We hope to hear from everyone by November 30th. It takes the giving of the entire community to enable the worship, service, ministry, and mission of MIPC.

Please prayerfully consider how you can participate in financially sharing in the ministry of the church this coming year. You can fill out a pledge form on paper or online.
