At 4:00 pm Sunday, October 22, we will hold a brief ceremony and reception in their honor including the unveiling of a bronze plaque. There will be a bit of wine, a story or two, and the opportunity to thank the Jessens for their passionate service and support of our church. Please join us this Sunday, Oct. 22.

Parents - Why Bring Your Child to Roots & Wings Sunday School? Matthew Koch is One Reason to Consider...
For most of us, the day will come when our kids leave home. In most cases, they'll head off to college or university. It is a time both difficult and exciting as we parents wonder
"did I do all I could to give my child the tools that they'll need for their life?"

• The
Roots & Wings Sunday Schoo
l meets this Sunday
when children gather during in the Chapel and go to class in the Glen Rowan House after the Baptism of Jaxson Robert Hall. The affirmation for Sunday is:
“I choose to fill my heart and mind with goodness”.
We’ll take a close look at the life of John Muir, 1838-1914. He said, “No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty. Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with glaciers, or gathering matter into stars, or planning the movements of water, or gardening—still all is Beauty!” His ability to see beauty everywhere inspired President Teddy Roosevelt to start our national park system!
