Join us for Worship
Sunday, October 17th 2021
10:00AM in the sanctuary OR online
This Sunday we gather together for worship and fellowship. We’ll be continuing our sermon series, The Upside Down Kingdom. Through the lectionary passages in the Gospel of Mark we are considering the ways that Jesus asks us to live very differently than the world wants us to live. In many ways he turns our lives upside down, so that we can be right side up with Him. This week we learn about the humbleness that Christ calls us to.
Our Sermon Discussion Group is now meeting on Monday evenings at 7pm, to discuss the scripture and sermon together. Please join us for this lively and meaningful time together.
Sermon: One Who is Humble
Scripture: Mark 10:35-45

“But whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

Update from the Search Committee |
Good day Brothers and Sisters,
Thank you for reading this far.
The search committee needs your prayers.
We have made some progress, still it remains an up-hill climb. One of the aspects of our church that I cherish is our ability to pivot. The part time posting did not produce many viable candidates. So with the guidance of Doug Shepler, our Classis Supervisor, and approval from Consistory, we changed gears and updated the posting to a full-time position in September. (Hint hint, send your proposed future giving to the church or Mary)
Everyone on the search committee is working hard to discern God’s will and takes this responsibility very seriously. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack in the dark and then switching haystacks.
We have interviewed several candidates when the position was listed as part time and a few are still interested in moving to the next round as a full-time pastor. We have a few more lined up to call for an interview along with a couple more applications to review. We are hoping to receive more completed applications in the near future.
We are happy to report that all the ministers we have interviewed were impressed with what our congregation has to offer, the top quality of our online services, and our commitment to being transparent on the website. It is clear, from their perspective, that we work well with what we have.
Even in this time of great uncertainty, (which we turned into an opportunity) with all the bumps, stalls, and pivots, the committee meets on zoom and stays in regular contact via email navigating towards our ultimate goal of recommending the best candidates to consistory.

Praying for this Year's General Synod Gathering |
As you may know, our denomination has been meeting for the past few days for its annual meeting. This meeting has the potential to be very difficult and divisive. We are hoping to surround the attendees, as well as all of the important work that will be done, with our hope and prayers. Please keep all of the attendees, as well as our denomination, the Reformed Church in America, in your prayers.
Any questions, please contact Pastor Dawn.
