Weekly eUpdate

October 15, 2025

Coming Sunday

This Sunday Linda will preach on “Heart Disease.”  The choir will sing “As The Deer” to enhance the worship service.


Sunday School starts after Fellowship time. Linda will continue with her series on the history of western Christianity. The adult Bible study will continue with John, and the kids will be having a short learning time with Susan downstairs during church time after they have their time in the sanctuary.


The Session will hold its October meeting after Sunday School.


​Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner


Fall Fest will be on Sunday, October 26, after Sunday School. Fried chicken will be provided as the main dish. You are asked to bring a side dish and dessert. Even if you can't provide a dish, come anyway for the food and fellowship. If you are able to help before the meal or with clean-up, contact Barbara Wierwillie (b.barbara66@yahoo.com) to volunteer.

Worship Leader

The role of the volunteer scripture reader is changing to expand the participation in the service, per the Worship Committee. In addition to reading the scripture lesson, the call to worship and the prayer of praise are now included in the role. The prayer and scripture will be provided in advance. Once you have read the scripture you may go sit in the congregation. Sign up to volunteer using the sign-up system.


​Monday Night Supper

Monday's meal was baked chicken, rice, mixed vegetables, fruit, and cookies. There were 80 meals served. Helpers were George and Marge, Alex, Linda, Susan, and Bruce and Heidi.


Volunteers to help prepare and pack meals are always welcome.
