The “Brown Bag” Bible study (bring your own lunch optional) will restart on Wednesday, October 22, at noon at the church. It will continue to meet Wednesdays at noon through November 12. Led by Victoria Young and Mark Cordes, the fall session will be studying the book of Philippians. In this beautiful letter, Paul describes the Christian life and calls believers to unity in the face of challenging circumstances. It is a letter full of joy – and we invite all who are interested to come join in exploring this letter together.

We need your help! Volunteers are needed to serve as liturgists and to share the children’s message during worship. We hope to have a liturgist every week, so please consider signing up to help lead this important part of our service. If you enjoy connecting with kids, the children’s message is a wonderful way to share God’s love with our youngest members. Liturgy means “the work of the people,” and your participation helps make our worship a true reflection of our congregation and community. Thank you for sharing your gifts!

Join us on Saturday, October 4, at 8 am. The book choice is: 2024 volume by Erik Larson, The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War. Next book club date: November 1. 

The Summer of 2025 featured a fun and engaging approach to discover our congregation's favorite hymn. Using a bracket-style format, congregants were invited to submit their four favorites, followed by five weeks of voting on narrowed choices. We learned about the stories behind some of the hymns and sang most of them. Finally, with minimal politicking, the final four were: "Here I Am, Lord", "Great is Thy Faithfulness", "Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone", and "How Great Thou Art".
"Here I Am, Lord" emerged as the winner!
