Our Green Faith congregation is a caretaker of our living planet and we want to plant trees this spring to keep a healthy environment, provide for fresh air, and homes for birds, animals and pollinating insects. Tree roots also hold moisture and prevent erosion. Please sign up to get a seedling plant and to take care of planet earth! The Green Faith Team will coordinate a group planting event soon after kids get the seedlings, or you can plant yours in your yard. Visit

https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/parent-registration/?school=18603 to register your child.

Make Sure to Take Your Lenten Devotional Booklet this Sunday at Worship!

This year, we are taking a Lenten journey with the contributors of “A Sanctified Art,” as we journey with them through Lent reflecting on the spiritual practices of cultivating and letting go. Each week of Lent features scripture, poetry, and an opportunity to reflect through journaling and coloring. We hope that these resources will be helpful to you and will deepen the meaning of your Lenten journey!

UWF Craft Group-

Adult Education-New Series

Two of the finest spiritual thinkers of our time, Joan Chittister and Richard Rohr, encourage us to be prophetic voices in our time: called to a Third Way—in the words of Jeremiah, "a heart of flesh"—in contrast to the righteousness so common in Western society today. Joan challenges us by asking, "Who are you?" while Richard dares us to change now.

Six sessions include these topics:

           Opening Remarks: Joan Chittister & Richard Rohr

           Prophetic Spirit for Today: Joan Chittister

           Order vs. Charism: Richard Rohr

           Dialogue: Joan Chittister & Richard Rohr

           Women, Religion and War: Joan Chittister

           Seeing in a New Way: Richard Rohr

These teachings were presented at a conference in 2006.

VBS 2024-Registration Open

Follow the clues to register your child or volunteer to help with this year's VBS - Seekers in Sneakers: Discover Jesus!  VBS is taking place in June 24-28, 9:30 am-12:00 pm for children entering Kindergarten in Fall 2024 to children who completed 6th grade in Spring 2024.

Geocaching activities will challenge children to dig into the Bible to find the way to Jesus. This journey of discovery has many twists and turns, so children will learn to:

- ask questions

- work with others

- shine their light in the world

- follow Jesus’ example of serving others, and

- trust Jesus when things go wrong
