Note change in Covid-19 precautions
We continue to follow Governor Cooper's guidelines on gatherings which have now been updated to recommend that those who are fully vaccinated wear masks in indoor public settings. Beginning this Sunday we ask that you wear a mask while inside our church building and fellowship hall (when not eating). We will have some extra disposable masks available.

We will remain in our pew for communion with individual communion cups.
The offering plate will remain near the door and will not be passed.

10 Week Enneagram Discussion
Begins
Monday, Sept 13 at 7:00 p.m.
and
Wednesday, Sept 15 at 10:30 a.m.
Julia and David will lead a ten-week discussion on the Enneagram. The Enneagram is a Greek compound word for "nine" (ennea) and "written" or "drawn" (gramma). It offers a model of nine personality types - Ennea Types - which are similar in some ways to the archetypes that Carl Jung excavated from the collective unconscious.

Participants are asked to take the WEPSS Enneagram Inventory . When you finish the Inventory, please print out your report. Pay attention to the numbers, but we will use Motions of the Soul by Clare Loughrige as our resource to interpret the results.

Resources you will need
  • Take the WEPSS Enneagram Inventory ($10) and print out your results. Take Inventory

  • Purchase Motions of the Soul, Clare Loughrige Order from Amazon or your local book store
