• January Newsletter
  

  Our latest newsletter is available here.
• Ugly Sweaters
  

   

  December 15 was designated “Ugly Christmas Sweater Sunday.”  It was fun to have so many involved in the silliness.
• Lunch and Learn
  

  Are there parts of the Bible that challenge you?  Are there things that don’t make sense?  Have you ever had questions about faith, religion, and God but were afraid to ask?

  The Worship Team will be hosting four “Lunch and Learns” throughout the coming year.  These will be opportunities to gather in fellowship, but they are primarily intended for us to gather and ask questions about the Bible.  These will be a time of sharing our thoughts and learning more about God’s holy Word.  These Lunch and Learns are currently scheduled for the fifth Sunday of March, May, August, and November.  We hope you will join us in this time of Biblical exploration.

   
• After Words

  We’re bringing back the “After Words” inserts.  These are opportunities to generate conversation and thought about the Sunday morning message to get you talking with family and friends following the church service.  “After Words” is a presentation of questions and ideas to stimulate conversation and a deeper understanding of the message.  We hope you will give it a try.
• Choir Practice & Kids Christmas Program
  

  It's time to get read for Christmas!  

  The adult choir will have their first rehearsal on November 17 immediately following the worship service.

  The kids will begin rehearsal on Wednesday, November 20. 

  Can't wait to share all of the good news and hope!
