Join us as we unite to pay tribute to those who have served and are serving now.

Please join us on Sunday (13 November 2016) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education — Reclaiming Your Religious Vocabulary.
Are there certain words from religious language that conjure hurtful memories for you, simply “set your teeth on edge” or even trigger strong negative emotions?
Perhaps words like “sin,” “salvation,” or even “redemption,” “grace,” and “mercy” were words that meant you were excluded from the favored community.
Consider an opportunity to unpack, disarm, and reclaim these words in a safe setting, and in a context that could be meaningful and better suited to your current understanding of spirituality. Join us — it could be fun!
Our monthly building and grounds work day has been moved to next Saturday (19 November 2016) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
For November 2016 only — our monthly work day will be moved from its usual second Saturday to the third Saturday.
Still needing all who can come, still offering tasks inside and outside, for all ages and abilities. Other than some basic cleaning inside and mowing outside, all the work to maintain our building and grounds is done by US, the members and friends of the church.
Working together is a great way to get to know your church community a little better, and to feel a sense of ownership in the community as well.
Stay the whole time or just an hour or so, as your schedule permits. Can’t stay? Consider dropping off snacks for the crew.
