We started Lent with Ash Wednesday services this week and will continue Lenten services on Wednesdays at Noon. A brief devotion and a couple hymns followed by a light lunch. You are welcome to join us. Our last Lenten service will be April 6th. The Holy Week schedule will be announced soon.
Hey kids Kindergarten thru Fifth Grade!
Something new this year-Children’s Christmas Musical. The performance will be the first public event in our new ‘Backroom’. We have a new space, so let’s use it!
The musical is “The Fumbly Bumbly Angels” and will be performed at 10:30 am on Dec. 12th. There will be speaking roles, nonspeaking roles and lots of singing!!
We would love for as many of our church kiddos to participate as they can! The Holiday season is busy so I am going to give you the dates of our meetings, rehearsals and show so you can plug those into your calendars early!
Sunday, Nov 14th- 9:15am Meet upstairs in 2nd grade classroom. We will start going over music. If your Child wants to participate, just have them come to Sunday School, parts will be assigned during that time. We will go over songs during the Sunday School time so everybody can be ready.
Sunday, Dec 5th- 10:30am -12:00 rehearsal and costume fitting! -we will provide lunch!
Saturday, Dec 11th- 9:30-11:30 Dress rehearsal
Sunday, Dec 12th-SHOW TIME 10:00am (please be here by 10am downstairs for costumes)
(Every Sunday during Sunday School we will sing the songs.)
*If you know your child can attend most of the rehearsals and Musical, but won’t be here Sunday, the 14th please let Jennifer Kiely or Gloria Stratton know so I can make sure to assign them a part and leave a CD at the office for you!
Also, we would love some parent volunteers to help out with helping kids get dressed in costumes, during rehearsals and during the service. Please let Jennifer Kiely or Gloria Stratton know this Sunday if you can help in any way!
Thanks so much and feel free to call the church office with any questions or thoughts you may have!
Kids in 1st Grade through 5th Grade are invited to join Angelus Choir, held on Wednesdays after school until 4:30 PM. Come sing with Sam Lucas and have an after school snack too!
Join us Sunday, August 22nd, for a special back to school service with a blessing of the backpacks. So bring your backpack, maybe even bring a friend. You'll be truly set for school after this uplifting service!
We are almost done with the Phase 1 renovations and we would like to get some final things out of the gym and we sure could use your help! There will be items we will not be using and you can make a small donation and take them home! Join us Saturday, August 7 or Saturday, August 21st starting at 8:00 AM and going until about noon - come and go when you can! Bring some gloves and help us get this gym ready for some kids this fall! Our fifth quarter get togethers are about to begin!
As we wind closer to the end of the renovation project we’ll begin to reoccupy some of our spaces before we gain full access to the completed Worship Hall. The library is moving upstairs into the opened up area outside the elevator, we’ll have some casual seating for small group gathering and open space for story times and plays by the kids. We’re hoping this bright and welcoming space encourages people to curl up with a good book and be inspired for an afternoon. Might also be a great place for some conversation with a cup of coffee for new and old friends.
Our offices are expecting windows this week which will check off one of the last items on our list before they are ready to occupy. We hope those of you that had an opportunity to take a walk through the space found it welcoming and efficient to conduct the behind the scenes business of the church. We’ll be placing furniture soon and begin the work to get our supplies located in all the new storage cubbies. Flooring in the Lower Gathering space is being laid this week and should be ready for furniture, it’ll start to feel a lot like home again very soon!
We are planning a work day on Saturday, June 26 from 8am-noon, hoping to sort through the items we’ve had in storage in the gym for a year and get them cleaned and ready to place back in service. Lots of dusty boxes to wipe off and open up again to rediscover our forgotten treasures! If you have an hour or two to spare we’d love to see you there!
Join us Sunday, June 6th as we celebrate summer, COVID relaxation, and wish Pastor Steve good bye.
Bring your lawn chair or blanket. We supply food and drinks. You may bring your favorite dessert if you want.
Games and music for all! Time to catch up with your church family. We hope you can join us!
