What a blessing to worship with many of you in the sanctuary and on our Facebook page at the same time last week!
That's the plan again for
this Sunday at 9:45am
. Don’t forget to contact the office today (Thursday) to reserve your spot if you'd like to join us in the sanctuary. You can also watch the service anytime later in the day on our website or on our Facebook page.
This Sunday's Scripture reading is
1 Kings 3:5-12
. King Solomon was in the position, as King of Israel, to ask God for whatever he desired. He chose to be blessed with the gift of wisdom. Scripture tells us that God was well pleased with his choice. If asked for anything in the world, how many of us would chose wisdom? Join us this Sunday as we explore why God knows that we need wisdom now more than ever in our world.
Be wise and don’t miss it!

Our Session voted at their July meeting that
groups may schedule meetings for inside the church building
. If you choose to meet in the church, you are asked to maintain a six foot social distancing, wear masks, use the restrooms located by the church office, and “clean in and clean out.” This means we'll have spray bottles and paper towels available, and we ask you to spray the tables/chairs before and after use. Please contact the church office to reserve your meeting so we can make sure we don't have any overlaps between groups.

We will have a
Congregational Meeting
via Zoom
on Wednesday, August 12, at 7pm
for the purpose of electing Church Officers as well as changing our by-laws to include the use of technology for official church meetings and business. You'll be able to access this meeting by video on Zoom or by phone for audio. If you can't do either, you can request a written ballot from the church office by Wednesday, August 5. You need to return it by Monday, August 10, so it can be included in the vote count during the meeting on Wednesday. There will be a separate email/mailing with more information closer to the meeting date.

To Bake or Not to Bake...
Our Men's Club needs to make a decision about this year's fruitcake baking. The decision will be based on whether we can keep our bakers safe and whether our customers will venture out to purchase. Options include baking as usual, no baking at all, or baking a limited number of fruitcakes. Please join the discussion during a special Zoom meeting on
