Matthew 10: 40-42

For the summer months, July and August, we will focus on "Following Jesus", in our times.

This Sunday, we will examine the spiritual gift of “hospitality,” as an expression of discipleship.

We will sing, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” and learn about the example of Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer who stood up to evil in the name of Jesus in tumultuous times, like ours.

Crafting with Lorna H!

Lorna is back and ready to share her love of crafting with us all once again. Join her on Wednesday, July 12th and 26th from 10 AM to noon for a time of fellowship and fun.

No artistic or crafting talents needed.

Social Justice "Brunch and a Matinee"

We will be taking July off from book club, and will instead be having our second “Brunch & Matinee”. Following the Worship service on July 16th, we will have a light brunch followed by a movie. In recognition of July being “Minority Mental Health Awareness Month”, our movie will be The Soloist starring Jamie Foxx. This powerful movie tells the story of a talented musician who is homeless and deals with mental illness. Following the movie, we will have a brief discussion about the intersection of homelessness, mental health, and discrimination. We are asking you to sign up by following the link below or in person after church. This will help us plan for room arrangement and food. We are requesting a $5 donation at the door to help pay for the meal. If you have any questions, contact Kim Rabon-Noyce at the church office.
