December 25– Christmas morning worship service – 11 a.m
We will come together again for a casual Christmas Day service at 11 a.m. As cultural influences and consumer-driven demands often have the spotlight, by joining together for worship on this special Sunday morning, we proclaim that the birth of Christ is of utmost importance in our celebrations.Everyone is encouraged to dress casual and kids can stay in their pajamas. The service will included the story of Christ’s birth and a few verses of our favorite
Christmas carols.

PLEDGE SUNDAY was Sunday, Oct. 16. Pledge Sunday is the day the Stewardship Ministry Team asks us to bring forward our pledge cards during the offering part of the service as part of our response to God's love. Pledge cards are being mailed out the week of Oct. 3.   

GOOD NEIGHBORS The new Good Neighbors groups sponsored by the Board of Deacons are in the organizational process. All families of the congregation are being placed into geographical neighborhood groups that will offer fellowship activities as well as care for one another and maybe even do small mission projects as well. The goal for each group was to schedule its first activity by the end of September, but please be patient as leaders are recruited and groups are organized. Some of the groups have held their first meetings already, while others are seeking leadership. If you are interested in being a neighborhood leader, please contact Jim Berry, chairman of the deacons.
