Fall Clean-up Day, Saturday, October 3rd
Save the Date! Fall Clean-up Day is just around the corner. The facilities team has selected Saturday, October 3 as our fall work day. There will be many outdoor and indoor projects we can tackle. More information in the October Herald.
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.
Don't forget! There will be inflatable games for youth, along with additional space available to debrief following the presentation.
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.
