Ministers Schedule Friday Morning Women's Bible Study Stewardship Reflection - Please submit your pledge card if you haven't alreadyDear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last week, you received a letter in the mail talking about how the church in St. Paul’s day was not much different from our church today. As I said earlier, Paul’s request is quite touching. “Do your best to come to me soon… Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in ministry. I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.” Paul was really only looking for three things, a visit, for Timothy to bring a friend, and the resources he needed for ministry. So, if you received a pledge card and have not returned it, let me ask you for the same things that Paul asked Timothy to bring to him: come to church, bring along a friend, and help us with the resources this community needs for ministry. Church is at 9AM on Sunday, and your pledge can be made either by mailing in your card, bringing the card to church, or online with this Vanco link. God bless you in this season of preparation, Benjamin+ You can pick up a pledge card at the check-in table on Sunday or just call the office. Thank You!

Landscaping RecognitionTHANK YOU!! There are a number of people who have given time, talent and much effort to our landscaping. The Chumas Family successfully undertook the Lake Street side of the Chapel and made it beautiful. Rick Allison, Elaine Ellenson, Jany Chumas and Tim Carl have faithfully continued to try to stay ahead of the weeds. Thank You to Dale Clark for digging up the bushes that did not make it after our harsh winter weather. This has been a great accomplishment by all (my apologies if I've forgotten anyone). Please take a moment to tour the grounds and appreciate all that these amazing volunteers have done. This is an ongoing project, so please contact the office if you would like to become involved. Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated. Again, Thank You! ~Evelyn Usher, Flower Guild Chairperson. Are you interested in joining the choir?Our new program year is under way.
