Take a Moment Prayer: Week of April 14
Look for this prayer each week. Take time to pray it each day and know that your church family is saying this prayer too.
You are the joy of my life, O Lord. Waking up every morning to your glorious presence welcoming me to the day gives me peace…assuring me that this will be a good day. I know I do not need to fear what today or tomorrow will bring because you are by my side every day. But you know me...even better than I know myself, Lord, and you know anxiety and fear can unexpectedly arise within me and get the best of me. Help me if I should be overcome by painful or distracting circumstances that hide your presence from me right when I need you most. Lead me this day in all your ways. Amen.
The Pastor's Pen - January 2024
We should come away from Christmas reminded that Jesus came into this world so that things could be different. He did not come so that we could have a holiday including time off from work or school, presents, cookies, lots of other food and time with friends and family. The story of Jesus does not end at the stable. Jesus grows up and becomes our teacher and example for how God calls us to live.
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.
