Announcements and Messages for the Community

Kids N Cookies. New this fall is our all-ages faith program. Parents to attend with kids, aunts and uncle to attend with nieces and nephews, grandparents to attend with grandkids…you get the picture. You may also attend without children. The program will include scripture readings, fun activities, and of course cookies! It will be short, about 15 to 20 minutes. For more details and ways to get involved, contact Bill or Mary Hudson.

Conversation, Connection & Community. Friends and neighbors are always welcome for worship, activities, and events. Don’t forget to invite them to join us. YOU are their connection to our wonderful church community!

Consistory Team Openings: We’re looking for folks called to lead Fellowship & Mission or Grounds & Maintenance ministries. In 2022, we will also have 2 additional openings. Please contact Michelle Bachmann or Pastor Shuji if interested.
