Easter Sunday Breakfast & Easter Egg Hunt

On Easter Sunday we will be having a pot-luck breakfast in Fellowship Hall at 9:30 a.m., followed by an Easter Egg hunt at 10:00 a.m. There are sign-up sheets in the back of the church for bringing a dish.

How do we pray? How could I pray? How do I cultivate a more prayerful life?

During Lent on each Sunday morning (except Palm Sunday) at 9:30 am, we will gather to talk about prayer . . . and to pray. Phil Lloyd-Sidle will facilitate this time in which we share from our lives, look at different kinds of prayer, and devote some time to praying. Over the five weeks we look forward to a generative time together that hopefully will help us on our Lenten journeys and lives. Our next gathering is this Sunday, March 22, 2026, meeting in the Gathering Room. Coffee, tea, and light goodies will be provided. Open to all, of course!

Mahjong Group

The Tuesday Fun and Games is now called the Mahjong Group! The members are having fun learning and playing Mahjong. Please feel free to join in.

Our next meet-up is Tuesday, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Prayer Group for the Middle East

Feel free to join us Thursdays on Zoom, in-person, or both. This group has enabled such support for one another as we all struggle to cope with the tragedies in the Middle East and the on and off cease fires and prisoner releases. The first Thursday of each month the group will meet in person. Please reach out to Soni for locations.

We would be grateful to have others join us. Email Soni at soni.castleberry@gmail.com to get the Zoom link and be added to the group email list for regular communication.

What Presbyterians Believe...

from PC(USA) Book of Confessions:

"Dealing with the Differences" (part 3 of 3)

f. The confessions are the church’s confessions. Therefore when a governing body of the church has ruled in favor of one over another alternative in the confessions, the consensus of the whole church should take precedence over the opinions of individual church members or groups of church members. Because individual members or groups who disagree with the consensus of the church sometimes may have a better understanding of Scripture and be more open to the guidance of the Spirit than the church as a whole, the church should listen to them respectfully, with openness to be reformed by them. But until such time as the church as a whole is convinced that it should change its position, its interpretation of the confessions should be considered authoritative.

g. So long as the church as a whole has not taken a stand on differences among the confessions, its ministers and officers should have the freedom to choose the confessional interpretation that they believe best reflects the witness of Scripture.

h. When there is no real consensus in the church, differences among the confessions should ordinarily be allowed to stand until such time as a genuine consensus is possible and necessary. Even if a bare majority were able to defeat a very large minority in voting for one option in preference to another, it would ordinarily be premature and dishonest for the church to claim, “This is what we Presbyterians believe.”
