The Fellowship Ministry Team has decided to try something new in lieu of our traditional Coffee/Fellowship time, which has been suspended indefinitely due to COVID. The intention is to have an easy treat available to take with you as you leave the church building after Worship Service and either gather outside for fellowship (physical distancing and masks are encouraged) or go directly home, Grab n Go Treats.
We are asking for volunteers to provide treats. Treats need to be individually wrapped. They can be store bought or homemade; let your imagination run wild. Volunteers can provide treats for one or both services. Currently, approximately two dozen treats are needed for the 8:30 am service and three—three and a half dozen for the 10:45 am service. If no one signs up, we won’t have treats. For the present time, if you are willing to volunteer please call the office and let Tammy know.
MONDAY MORNING WOMEN’S COFFEE AND FELLOWSHIP
All women are invited to join us for a cup of coffee and fellowship Monday mornings at 9:30 am. This is a great opportunity to catch up with friends, share some stories, and encourage each other.
We will meet in the fireside room where we can physically distance.
Masks are optional.

Relationships Require Response (aka Stewardship)
October 18 will be our Consecration Sunday. “Consecration” means to make holy or to dedicate to a higher purpose. Each year we gather to consecrate our gifts of time, talents and financial resources for the coming year. It’s a time when we offer a percentage and lift it up to God. This is a holy time. So in these days leading up to this special Sunday we encourage you to seek God’s wisdom with your time and financial resources. Giving should not bring a feeling of compulsion, but should bring a feeling of joy knowing that no matter what you consecrate to God’s higher purpose it will be blessed and multiplied. It will also help us with planning our mission for this coming year as we move forward and, God willing, are able to gather together more freely as we know God’s grace and share God’s love. On Consecration Sunday, we will invite worshippers to make their financial commitments to our church’s ministries in this community and around the world by completing an Estimate of Giving Card as an expression of faith. Thank you for your faithfulness!
