Pastor Steve’s Sermon: Last week I preached on being called by God. Read it here.

Called Charge Conference (THIS Sunday, January 19th after church): Our District Superintendent, Rev. Pat Freudenthal has called a Charge Conference to vote on two items. 1) Approval to sell an unused portion of our pavilion property and 2) to vote on a new treasurer (Thank you Lois!). Per the Book of Discipline both of these require a Called Charge Conference by the DS. All members of the church are encouraged to attend. It should be a fairly brief meeting. If you have any questions about either of these please don’t hesitate to reach out to Pastor Steve, the Trustees, or the Finance Committee.
