September 3rd (68 years old)

Harold E. Hill Lecture Series will be held on Saturday, September 21, 7:00 pm in the sanctuary. Brian Kaylor, co-author of Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism will speak on the very important topic of Facing Christian Nationalism. I encourage everyone to attend!

Our Book Study Group has invited Brian to join a discussion of his book on the evening before the lecture. ALL are invited to the Fellowship Hall on Friday, September 10 at 6:30 pm to join Brian before his lecture on Saturday evening.

I also encourage you to attend Rally Day, Sunday, September 8. One of the opportunities will be to visit the Ministry Team Fair held in the Fellowship Hall at 10:30 am. Each team will have a table of information and folks to answer any questions about their work. You are invited to discern a calling to join and help support the work of the ministry team you are interested and energized in joining.

We are in the process of setting up a combined Confirmation Class with Southminster Presbyterian Church to begin later this month.

As always, know that I and the Congregational Care ministry team, are truly interested in knowing if you or your family has a pastoral concern(illnesses, surgeries, death in the family, as well as joys and celebrations). Our level of support and care for one another in this community of faith is indeed one of the most meaningful aspects of our ministry together.

Blessings, Rev. Todd

It was decided that we would continue to meet the third Thursday of every month starting at 11:30 am.

We will continue to have a monthly sign-up sheet (located on the kitchen door) so we know how many will be attending to help proportion food.

Several people have volunteered to unofficially keep the group organized and everyone pitched in to help clean up after lunch, that was very appreciated. Each month we will try to set up some form of program, speaker, or we will have individuals “tell their story”-so let us know if you are interested in sharing!

If anyone in the congregation would like to attend, but needs assistance with transportation, if this is something you could help with, please (click name to) contact Bryan or Clay Finckward.

You have seen the beautiful Blessing Box in the west garden between the sanctuary and parking lot. 

You have been generous supplying that box, but we are down to two weeks of supply. If you are able, we could use individual packets of non-perishable food, small drink containers, hygiene products like soap, sanitizer, women's products. Bring this to the Blessing Box closet in Fellowship Hall. 

If you would like to bring flowers to decorate the sanctuary for an upcoming worship service, please sign up on the Flower Chart on the bulletin board in Fellowship Hall.

A meaningful way to celebrate this year's Birthday, is to donate an amount equal to your age to the Endowment Fund.

Please submit your requests for prayers of joy or concern in the bowl in the Narthex.
