Stay up to date!

  • Please return covenant cards by November 6.
  • Commitment Sunday will be a part of worship on November 13 and I hope you will be intentional about being with us, not simply to offer your estimate of giving covenant card, but that you will also join us for the Holiday Luncheon that Sunday so we can celebrate 287 years of mission and ministry as well as our commitment to Ministry in 2017.

Blessings,
Rev. Michael Weeks
 
From the Message on Sunday
At the end of the story we get a little add-on in Chapter 8 telling about women who provided for Jesus and the other disciples "out of their own resources." They made possible the continuation of Jesus' ministry. That sounds like what we are doing with our Covenant Campaign and ministry plan.  We are looking people in the eye and recognizing their value. We are sharing our resources, gifts, and talents to build the Kingdom. Giving thanks to God for forgiveness.
How about it, will you join me in expressing love to Jesus through your giving next year? Will you join me in extravagant giving?  

  En Agape',
  Rev. Michael Weeks
