Ushering is a part of an ancient lay ministry within the Church dating back to the 300's A.D. and known as the Ministry of the Porter. Ushers attended the door which was the entryway to worship and the eligibility to partake in communion. Its function evolved to become a ministry of hospitality in welcoming and assisting people with worship. The usher is often the first person a visitor to the church meets, and the smile and helpfulness shown by him or her to that person truly can have a positive effect upon their comfort level and worship experience...it can help them feel welcomed. 

From a whimsical lighthouse on an enchanted island, Explorers are guided by the Lighthouse Keeper and Beacon the Puffin on an exciting quest to find five mysterious Infinity Lanterns to help light their way. Using map coordinates from their Reference Book (the Bible), children discover clues to finding each lantern while learning how God's light shines in the lives of familiar Bible characters from Old and New Testament stories. More information to come soon!

In Proverbs 9:10 it is written, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." Fear is not often understood to be a good and desired emotion, but William Willimon writes in his study, Fear of the Other, about discipleship as a way of "Learning to Fear Like Christians" (Chapter 3). Ways in which fear can be a gift from God will be the focus of the session beginning at 9:15 AM on Sunday. It will be possible to participate in person (Room 31 in the Christian Education building) or by Zoom. Dick Hooper and David Starling facilitate the discussion. 

Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available here.
