We are excited about RALLY DAY!

Be sure to join us this Sunday, September 12th at 9:45 a.m. on the lawn of the Fellowship House.

We are looking forward to sharing all of the great opportunities on campus with you.

Please come for a great breakfast including breakfast casserole, hash brown casserole, fruit, biscuits, and sweet rolls! We look forward to this intergenerational time of fellowship.

We've Got Your Back!

We will have a called congregational meeting this Sunday, September 12, immediately following worship, for the purpose of approving Ellen’s amended terms of call with the actual moving expenses.

With all that our world has been through these past 18 months…a global pandemic, natural disasters, and rising violence and division associated with racism…life as we know it has been radically changed. Virtually every human being has been impacted in some way by these events, and we are hurting, grieving, and seeking to heal. To that end, let us gather to pray together Sunday afternoon, September 12th, at 4 p.m. on the front lawn of our sanctuary for a brief time of prayer. After, we will process to the Commons Prayer Room together as it reopens to the public for the first time since the pandemic began. May God bless this safe space that it may offer healing to our community and our world.

For more information about the Commons or to volunteer your time, please contact Kate Morrison (kmorrison78@gmail.com) or Kimberly Leatherman (leathermankc@gmail.com).

Please RSVP here by tomorrow, Thursday, September 9^th.

   The Children's Choir is for children in grades K-5 and will begin rehearsal this Sunday afternoons from 3:15 p.m.-.4:00.p.m. in the smaller choir room in the Education Building. Should you have a 5th grader with more friends in middle school, we can make special accommodations for them to sing with the youth choirs (see below).

   The Youth Choir is for kids in middle school and high school and will be a coordinated effort with Youth Fellowship on Sunday evenings. I plan to split the rehearsals of this choir into a middle school and high school group to dovetail the meeting times of Youth Fellowship. These rehearsals will begin on Sunday, September 19 due to the Youth Pool Party on Sunday, September 12. Please note the various times below for Sunday, September 19.

   The Middle School Choir rehearses from 4:15 p.m.- 5:00 p.m. in the larger choir room in the Education Building, then proceeds directly to Middle School Fellowship at 5:00 p.m. The High School Choir will then rehearse from 5:15 p.m.-.6:00.p.m. in the same location, and then proceed to High School Fellowship at 6:00 p.m.

 We hope that all Presbyterian Women will join us in the church courtyard for our Kick-Off Event on Tuesday, September 21 at 5:30 p.m.!

You can pick up your PW Directory and Study Guide while you visit outside with friends - old and new! Light snacks will be available. If it is a rainy evening, then we will meet in Davis Hall (masks required).

Our Middle and High School Youth prepared dinner Sunday evening for the clients of the Night Shelter.

The thirteen youth worked in four groups to prepare regular chili, vegetarian chili, cornbread muffins, and salad. A huge thank you to our volunteers who helped to share cooking knowledge and led the kitchen clean-up! The youth also worked on posters for Rally Day and restocked the Blessing Box.

We will meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays each month from 6:30-7:30. Bring a friend! If you are an adult who is interested in volunteering , please contact René Prager at: thepragers@yahoo.com for more information.
