Community Conversations August 17th

As promised at our Community Conversation on August 17, there will be a 3-session book study of Kennon Callahan's Twelve Keys to an Effective Church (second edition). The dates and times are still to be announced. There are several copies of the book in the church office. Please come get one (or pick it up on Sunday) or contact Pastor Eric if you are interested in attending. The Callahan principles will be foundational for the church goals and plans we develop together.  Thank you.  

We have several ongoing classes and fun meetings at our church every month.  Please see our church calendar attached.  Hope to see you soon!  Thank you. 

Women's Weekly Devotional

Women are invited to gather for a weekly spiritual discussion using the Upper Room as a resource.


The discussion group meets Thursday mornings at 11:00 in the Fireside Room.   We are studying the September - October 2025 Upper Room Daily Devotional Guide.   You can stop by the Church office to pick up your free copy of Upper Room if you don't have one already.   Hope to see you soon.  

Leadership Team.  Our next Leadership Team meeting is October 8th.  If you would like a copy of the August 2025 approved minutes, please call the front office and we are happy to provide you with them.  Thank you.
