IN THE NEWS

We will meet at the Church on January 22nd at 6 p.m. and discuss some exterior lighting repairs (parking lights) and potential additional lighting for security.

  This Week: “Songs of Wisdom” – Psalm 1, Psalm 14, Psalm 15

The “wisdom” psalms grant insight into the thoughts of God –and people—so that we might have a discerning spirit and make the right kinds of choices.

The Great Rescue: The Story of God’s Amazing Grace

 Chapter Two: “In the Beginning” – What does the story of Creation reveal to us about God’s desires and purposes? What does Adam’s sin have to do with you and me? 

 On Sunday Morning, January 26th, we will have a brief Congregational Meeting to do the official “vote” for Darby Lee to serve as a Deacon (2 year term), followed by an Installation Service to “install” our new Elders, Deacons, and Board Officers for 2020. We will also honor and recognize those who served our church family in 2019. 

Sunday, January 26th, following worship, the Church Board will meet—the first gathering of this new year. All members are encouraged to attend—the Deacons and Elders comprise the voting membership of our Board.
