Sunday School

Our next Sunday School session will be Sunday, October 4 as our children continue their good work in learning how to do embroidery.  Please come join us at 9:00 a.m and remember, parents are always invited!

Children's Choir

Lauren has graciously agreed to continue leading and developing our Children's Choir for which we are truly grateful.  Rehearsals are at 1:30 p.m. on each Sunday afternoon except the Sundays when they lead in worship.  If you have interested children or know of any in the neighborhood, please encourage them to come and join in the fun!

September Yard Sale - LAST WEEKEND

We will be having our annual community yard sale in the Thomas Room on September 7-8 and 12-22.  Do you have anything you can contribute for the sale?  Do you have some free time to help with setting and pricing the items?  Can you help with the actual sale days?  Please see Joycelynn if you can help with this important outreach event to our community.

Welcome Dawn Bennett

Please welcome our new Vicar/Intern for the year, Dawn Bennett.  Dawn is now getting settled into her office and we are in the early stages of developing her work focus in the life of our church.  You will see her in all the many areas of ministry but with a specific focus on community outreach and church growth.  If you would be willing to serve on the Lay Committee that supports her and meets monthly with her, please see David Hall.

Cleaning God's House

Since we no longer have our former tenants cleaning our church, we are trying out a period of "clean as you go."  We are asking everyone to pitch in when you can.  If you have a few minutes and see something that needs to be cleaned, "get 'er done!"  Ask if you need help finding any supplies.
