Dear Church Family,
By now you should have received a letter and ministry trifold about our church’s fall ministry opportunities in the mail. Our church leadership prays that you will find spirit filled ways to deepen your faith walk in the coming months. As I stated in the letter, I am looking forward to times of worshiping together this fall but also spending time in fellowship. Sunday mornings do not always allow me enough time to talk and catch up with each person present, so you are invited to my front yard for casual conversation and prayer. Chairs and refreshments will be provided.
Hope to see you:
Today – September 15th at 6:00 pm
or
Monday - September 20th at 10am, 2pm, or 6pm.
Love and Peace in Christ, Rev. Mary

LIGHT FOR THE JOURNEY
We are offering “Light for the Journey” beginning Sept 19th at 9:45AM in the chapel. We started this new ministry in the Spring. This is an eight-week workshop for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. This can be a devastating time for those who are left behind. We would like to offer our help during this difficult time. We would be honored to walk beside you on this grief journey.
The goals of the workshop are to give you time to talk about your loss in a safe, caring place, to provide you with education on the grief process, and to give you tools to use on your grief journey. The workshop is based on the book, Death Happened Now What? A Practical Guide for Healing and Understanding the Grief Process by Cathy Clough and Linda Pouliot.
Please contact Bobbie Bushey or the church office for questions or to sign up.

UPDATED GIVING TOOLS
We are very excited to announce the upgrade of our giving tools on both the website and phone. When you give via the website, you will be greeted with colorful pictures designating your giving options. (If you do not get the pictures, rather just the text list, you will need to force your computer to upload the revised website. Please do this by hitting CTRL + F5 while in the website.)
Along with this change, we now have a new giving app for your phone. The new app can be found at Vanco Mobile Faith Engagement in Playstore or the iPhone App Store. Please note that on Sept. 30th, our previous mobile app, Vanco GivingPlus, will no longer be functional. If you previously used the GivingPlus app, your id and password will stay the same. Any recurring payments that you have setup will not be affected.
If you have any questions, they can be addressed to the Financial Secretary, Lindy Juergens.
