Take a Moment Prayer: Week of Nov 3

There are so many things for which I am grateful. This week following All-Saints day, I am thinking particularly of those who have been special to me who have passed from this life into eternal life with you. There are special people whom I miss who have helped to mold me into a believer and a disciple of Christ. Through their life example and generous love, I have been a recipient of God's presence and love. I have learned from them what it means to be in a faithful relationship with Jesus; and I have been inspired to help with God's kingdom-building work. Comfort me when I remember them and once again feel the pain of grief. Remind me that one day, we will be united and will live together forevermore in the glory of God's heavenly kingdom. Amen.  

The Pastor's Pen - October 2024

“What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight.” (Luke 16:15)

This powerful bible verse follows the parable of “The Shrewd Manager”, which Jesus was telling his disciple. If we study the parable, we find that it asks us to consider the questions, what, or who, do we highly value? What are our passions? What motivates us to do what we do? Jesus concludes the parable by saying, “No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

Food Pantry (Updated Dec 7, 2022)

The first Sunday of every month is Food Pantry Sunday. Bring in your gift(s) of non-perishable food items, place them on the cart as you enter the west entrance,  and a volunteer delivers the food to a local food bank.

We thank everyone for their continued support of this ministry to our  community!

Just a reminder - all items should be   either dry, boxed, or in cans. Please do not bring in anything in a glass jar that could break and injure a recipient or our volunteers. 

                                                  

Updated Mask Guideline (Updated Aug 29, 2022)

Covid guideline reminders. **We ask that if you know, or suspect, you have been exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid, or if you have a  temperature and/or you are feeling unwell, that you remain home and worship with us via Facebook.**

We ask that everyone attending worship please observe social distancing guidelines. You may enter and exit through the West Entrance, and exit only through the Washington Street door. Please do not stop on the outside steps to chat and possibly block those entering and exiting behind you. Also, remember to keep a clear path from the building to the sidewalk ramp as we enter and exit at the west entrance.  We need to keep that path clear to make it easier for those who have special needs to access the use of the ramp to their car.
