Welcome
WELCOME! We're so glad you've stopped by...
As you move through the pages of our site, we hope you capture a glimpse of who we are and of our life together.
We believe a balanced life of faith means that we care for one another, reach beyond ourselves, explore our faith and worship together.
So we care, reach, explore and worship. We're not perfect people by any means but we invite you into a journey of living more fully into the marvelous grace of God we've found in following Jesus Christ.

Let's GROW together!
Our next session is December 14, including a potluck breakfast. We will support the community Loaves of Love families by bringing homemade Christmas cookies and packing them for their holiday food distribution.
MATS OF LOVE PROJECT
Please stop by the side narthex and view the colorful mat of Love on display. It is made out of plastic bags and plastic tablecloths. If you happen to have any bags which you are not using, please donate them to this Project. A container is available for your use. In the future, we will have a presentation on how to cut the bags into strips, knot them together, assemble into a ball and then knit/crochet into a mat. Thank you.
LOL - Loaves of Love Food Pantry
Loaves of Love had distribution day last week and our shelves are low on everything. We are at our maximum of 35 families plus someone who is homeless. We also fulfilled a request for food for someone with children who did not even have a can of soup in her cabinets. Now that is heartbreaking.
We are so thankful that LOL exists and thank you for your help and your continuous support.
Here is the list of what is needed:
Diced Tomatoes Pancake Mix Instant Mashed Potatoes Chef Boyardee Ramen Noodles Canned Fruit Tuna Fish Canned Chicken Rice Syrup Tomato Sauce Jelly Coffee Pasta Toilet Paper, Napkins, Tissues, Paper Towels
Sunday School has you covered
Sunday School and nursery for infants through sixth grade are available during the worship service. It is held in the Children’s Day Out rooms (follow hallway past restrooms all the way to the end to room 107). Miss Bonnie and Miss Joy will be waiting for you there.
