Joyful Noise Collection

Hughes Baptism

You may have noticed the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the narthex the last few weeks as you arrived at church. Well...that's just the beginning!

The Vitality Committee is in the process of establishing a Hospitality Center in the Narthex which will include many items to tell our church’s story but we are starting with offering a hot cup of coffee, or tea, to people as they arrive at church or head for home.

Fellowship is an important part of church life and community. We hope the addition of a hospitality center will deepen the bond that we currently share and broaden it as we welcome new people searching for a community of faith.

Keep watching to see what's new!

FORGET-ME-NOT CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Let's not forget our church members this Christmas holiday who are currently unable to join us during worship on Sundays. Gift bags will be prepared for each one and delivered during the Christmas season.

This Sunday you will find a Christmas tree in the Narthex covered with decorations that ask for specific gifts to be included in a gift bag for each “Forget-Me-Not.” They are simple gifts like 5 hand lotions, 5 lip balms, or 5 boxes of tissues. Please consider taking an ornament and help to brighten the day for one of our long time members. All items must be in church by Sunday, Dec 1.

Let’s brighten their holidays and show them that their church has not forgotten them.

FAITH's TREX PROJECT - Help us save the Earth!!

Over the next 6 months we hope to collect 500 pounds of plastic bags, plastic film, and overwrap plastic. If we accomplish this goal by April 15, 2020, we will receive a lovely bench from TREX that can be used on church property! However, this is not just about a free bench! It's about beginning the process of helping to save this Planet Earth that God created as our home!
