Worship with us this Sunday!

Join us for worship, education, outreach and fellowship this Sunday at 9:30am Traditional and/or 11:00am Informal where our scriptures are Psalm 127 and Mark 13:1-8 with a sermon entitled The Church Building.
The Church is built on rock. The relationships within the building  strengthen the structure. What causes a structure to crack or crumble? What is our  vision? What are we building together?
It's Consecration Sunday - please bring your 2016 Pledge Cards if you have not yet turned one in.
We will hear a Mission Moment from Sharon Fenoglio of ECH - Every Child's Hope (formerly Evangelical Children's Home...AKA The German Orphanage).

Challenges and Blessings of Aging
For the December issue of Intersections, we will focus on those who are in the December of their lives. We look at the challenges and blessings of aging.

If you are in the December of your life please share your story. How are things different now than from when you were younger? How have you been shaped by life? What are some fond memories? Regrets? Lessons learned? Wisdom to impart?

For those of any age, how have elderly loved ones impacted you? What did/do they do that makes your life richer? What would you like to say to an aging loved one? What do you wish you had expressed to someone who is now gone?

We are also looking for articles on aging issues, such as assisted living, care giving, health issues and healthcare, financial concerns, losing your spouse, end-of -life planning.

How does faith intersect with aging?
Using one or more of the questions above, or maybe with your own unique insight on the subject, send us your articles, one-on-one interviews, research, original artwork, poetry, quotes, etc. All are welcome!

We are also seeking photos of you with an elderly loved one. They can be current photos or photos from long ago. Share them on our Facebook page or email them to [email protected]

Submissions are due by 10:00am Friday, November 20. (Please note: this deadline is for theme articles only. All other submissions are due by the 15th of the month.) 350 words. Please title the article and include your name under the title. If you submit artwork, please sign it. Electronic articles and images only, please. Send to [email protected]
