Get Ready for Fall Festival!


Our annual Fall Festival is almost here! Join us on Sunday, October 25, from 1:00–3:00 pm for an afternoon of fall fun and fellowship!


We still need volunteers! If you would like to host a trunk for Trunk’r Treat or help with setup or cleanup, please sign up in Fellowship Hall.


Worship Schedule Reminder: We will worship together at 9:30 am that morning. Nursery care will be available, but there will be no Sunday School.

October Parent's Night Out


There was plenty of laughter and creativity at last Friday’s Parent’s Night Out! Our PNO kids put their hearts and hands to work packing birthday bags for Saranam families and had a blast building towers out of popsicle sticks and pumpkin candies.


Parent’s Night Out takes place on the second Friday of every month from 5:30–8:00 pm. With the holidays just around the corner, our upcoming PNO evenings will be filled with seasonal fun for the kids while giving parents a little extra time to shop, bake, run errands, or simply relax!


It is a win-win for the whole family!

Church Work Day


Our Church Work Day is Saturday, Oct 17 from 8:00 am to noon.


If you have some time, please come out and help us do a fall clean up at the church. We have projects to do, both inside and outside of the church ranging from light work to slightly strenuous. If you will wear comfortable clothes and can spend a little time helping, we would greatly appreciate your it!
