NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
Bible groups open to all
Our bible study and discussion groups meet twice weekly. Make plans to join us Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. at church (Click here for the Zoom link if you prefer to join virtually) or Wednesday evening at church at 6 p.m. During Advent, we are focusing on the readings in our Advent booklet, available at the church.
GapPack is up and running for the new school year! Your support is essential to maintaining this ministry, in which we provide weekend snacks and meal items to food insecure students at our neighboring Resnik Community Learning Center. You can bring individually packaged food items (applesauce, mac and cheese, granola bars, oatmeal packets, etc.) to church or donate money to support the mission.
We support Family Promise
We continue our support of this vital ministry that provides housing and social services to families that do not have secure housing situations, but are working towards maintaining stable housing. We are now collecting gift cards for Aldi, Circle K and Save-A-Lot stores. You may place your donations in the basket between the sanctuary and parlor areas. We will deliver them to Family Promise at the end of the month.
