Pastor Steve’s Sermon: On Sunday, Pastor Steve preached on divorce and having the faith of a child. You can read it here.

Fall Break: Pastor Steve and Pastor Anne will be out this Sunday but we hope you enjoy our guest preacher, Bruce Meyers from Hilldale UMC. He is our very own, Jessica Harrison’s dad! If you have any concerns or needs, contact the church office. In our pastors’ absence: For staff/parish issues reach out to our SPRC chair, Jessica Harrison, for building and grounds issues, contact our Trustees chair, Tony Easley. Both of these people’s contact info can be found in the church directory.

Laity Sunday: The local church is only as strong as its laity. Next Sunday, October 20th, we will celebrate our laity with a lay led worship service and a sermon from Amy Herrin.

All Saints Sunday: This All Saints Sunday, November 3rd, we will be remembering those we’ve lost and welcoming new members into our fold. Come for a powerful and beautiful service at 10am and a luncheon to follow hosted by our two adult Sunday School Classes. If you’d like to bring something, bring a dessert to share! All are welcome.

All Saints Communion in the Graveyard: On All Saints Day, November 1, we will have a worship service and communion in the graveyard. All are welcome to come and celebrate the saints from our past, present, and future.

Nursery Care: We are looking for one Sunday School volunteer and two Worship Service volunteers each Sunday to look after our little ones. If you are interested in serving in the nursery, click here to sign up. All of our nursery volunteers must be background checked and trained in Safe Sanctuary.
