Nursery Volunteers Needed!

It takes a big heart to help shape little minds and, as Pastor Dan says, the most important

room in the Church building is the nursery. We need volunteers, both teens and adults,

for nursery care during our Sunday morning services.

Please consider volunteering once a month, or even every other month, your time and generosity would be greatly appreciated.

To volunteer, contact Heather Stowe at heatherstoweis@gmail.com

Ways to Support Ukraine!

The United Church of Christ (UCC) is appealing for support for refugees and for elderly and other vulnerable people who are displaced within Ukraine and unable to leave.

Musical Selections

Bohdana Frolyak. Kyrie eleison for mixed choir and strings

One of the byproducts of the war in the Ukraine is a greater appreciation of the musical culture of the Ukrainians. It's sad that it takes a war to recognize it. Here's the Kyrie written by Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak and performed by a Ukrainian orchestra and chorus in Lviv.

I've been incorporating works by Jake Runestad. Here is a powerful performance of his Climb. See if it makes your spirits climb.
