This Sunday!

Series: Meeting God in the Ordinary

Sermon: Calling a Friend and Responding Together

Scripture: Romans 12:9-18


Inspired by the book, Liturgy of the Ordinary; Sacred Practices in Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren, we will spend the ordinary days of summer considering ordinary acts in which we engage in an ordinary day and how they invite us into spiritual practices that grow and deepen our connection with God. From making our bed and losing our keys to eating leftovers and fighting with our spouse, we will see what these simple, ordinary moments of our lives can teach us about worship and the life of faith.


Though it is not necessary, if you would be interested in following along by reading the book, you may contact Pastor Kim if you would like her to order a copy for you. The church will provide a physical or digital copy. Those who wish may make a donation to cover the cost. Click here to find more information on the book or order a copy on your own.

Congregational Meeting - August 18

We will have a brief meeting following Worship to vote on a minor change to the terms of the sale of the Calvin School Building.

Due to the prolonged process of receiving city approvals it has been necessary to create an amendment (click here to read the amendment) to extend escrow. There is one significant change from the original Purchase and Sale Agreement and that is that the $10,000 rent that we receive from the school from August to December will be applied to the purchase price. 

Those that are available, grab a cup of coffee (or a popsicle!) and meet in the nursery following the Congregational Meeting. We will be making plans for our fall children's ministry.

This Week

Giving

Please consider making a special donation toward Per Capita.

As part of a connectional church we pay per capita apportionment per member to support the work of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This year the amount is $40.65 and will be divided between Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC (USA)'s system of government, so every Presbyterian is asked to share the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system. Please consider making this special offering, You may add it to your regular offering, but please make a note that the donation includes an offering to per capita.


Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
