We will have special treats for everyone, along with games and a bounce house for the kids in the gym. It’s going to be a joyful day for all ages!
Justice Team Forms to Resource Action on Public Matters and Issues
Beginning September 20, stop by the “Make a Difference” table near the church courtyard on Sundays to learn about current opportunities to learn, pray, and act on issues such as climate change, immigration, human rights, peace, and democracy.
The table is sponsored by our new Justice Team, bringing together people involved in a variety of justice and advocacy efforts. If you’ve wanted to make a difference but aren’t always sure where to begin, stop by the table and explore ways to get involved.
New participants are always welcome!

Fall Clean-up Day, Saturday, October 3rd

Save the Date! Dog-Eared Disciples with Bishop Lanette Plambeck: Oct. 3, Nov. 7, Dec. 5, Feb. 6, March 6, and April 3, 9-10:30 a.m., online. Dog-Eared Disciples is an invitation to read our way more deeply into the life of faith. Drawing on the ancient Christian practice of lectio divina, we will approach books not simply for information, but for formation: reading slowly and attentively, listening for what stirs, challenges, unsettles, or invites us, and allowing what we encounter on the page to deepen our relationship with God, one another, and the world. Register online.
Unlock Support for Youth: Stock The L.O.C.K.
The L.O.C.K. (Life Skills, Opportunity, Counseling, and Knowledge), is a trusted place where youth can find counseling and support—and also food and basic necessities. We'll continue to take a collection during the month of September. Items especially needed: deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, acne cream and pimple patches, small packages of Kleenex, small bottles of water, juice boxes, granola bars, trail mix, and other individually packaged snacks.
Bring your donations to church. Small things can make a real difference.
