Our group is filled – as we are taking 19 youth and 4 chaperons, including Liz Collard, Emily Tonorezos, Christopher Nesterczuk and myself.

​

Seeds of Faith Book Discussion Group

Sunday, May 19 @ 11:15 AM

The Seeds of Faith Book Discussion Group will meet at 11:15 AM in the North Lounge. The group will discuss Timothy Keller’s book, The Prodigal God. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. In The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. In that parable, Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward the irreligious and moralistic. This book will challenge devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.

 

Memorial Sunday
Sunday, May 26 - 10:00 AM

On Memorial Sunday we will read the names of veterans with a connection to someone in our congregation. This is a moving service and the perfect way to remember that Memorial Day Weekend is about honoring those who perished defending our country. 

 

Women at the Well
Sunday, May 26 - 11:30 AM

Women at the Well will meet on Sunday, May 26th to watch the Apple TV special film, “The Year the Earth Changed.” Narrated by David Attenborough, never before seen footage shows how our living in lock-down opened the door for nature to bounce back and thrive. Across the seas, skies and lands, Earth found it’s rhythm again. All women are welcome to join us for these gatherings.  We meet in the North Lounge at 11:30 and will wrap up around 12:45 PM. 

 

Youth Car Wash

Saturday, June 1 - 9:00 AM

Our spring youth car wash will take place on Saturday, June 1st in the church parking lot. We will be washing cars from 9 – 3pm. Come support our youth as we work to help support our neighbors in need through future youth service trips. Donations of any size are appreciated. We are so grateful for our church family and the support of our wider community. We look forward to having you drop by for a wash and to help someone in need.
