Family Dinner
Give your kitchen the night off and join us for dinner this Thursday at 6pm! Enjoy a delicious meal, good company, and zero dishes. Suggested donation: $5 per person or $20 a family.
5th Sunday Mission
Join us for mission service worship on Sunday, June 29, at 10:30am in the Fellowship Hall, where we will be preparing home baffles made from cardboard for Habitat for Humanity homes. This mission service project is a fantastic way for people of all ages (littles to older people) to connect to our affordable housing mission, have fun and be creative while helping a family in need! This mission service worship will also report-out on the June Intergenerational Mission Trip to Hinton Center, in Hayesville NC.
What are baffles and why are they important? Baffles are installed in the interior of homes between the roof line/eves overhang and outside wall soffit. The baffles help keep the insulation in place.

Summer Worship and Study Series: Anything But Ordinary
Sunday Worship - Every Sunday at 10:30am (Sanctuary)
Prayer & Bible Study - Every Tuesday at 7:00pm (Adult Center Parlor)
June 6 - August 22 (no meeting on July 4)
The summer is considered a season of Ordinary Time in the life of the Church—a season in between the mystifying resurrection of Jesus at Easter, and Jesus’ birth, visited anew, at Advent. This summer, we will dig deeper into the family narratives of Abraham, which are stories that make the title “ordinary” seem laughable.
Ordinary time is punctuated by a God who keeps showing up—persistently, creatively, and lovingly—in ways that are surprising, transformative, joyful, reconciling, and unifying. The movement of the Spirit is anything but ordinary.

Children and Youth Sunday - May 21st
You will want to be sure to be here this Sunday when our youth lead us in worship! We look forward to learning from them as they share their own faith with us through the reading and proclamation of the Word. We will also recognize our dedicated Sunday School teachers during worship! Join us for a reception following worship as we celebrate the end of the year with them and give thanks for all the ways this path has taken us this year.
