Please join us for worship on Sunday, November 9, as we celebrate the Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost. We’ll have a Service of Holy Communion at 8am and Sunday School for all ages at 9:15. We’ll have a second, livestreamed Service of Holy Communion at 10:30. Our Sunday School Students will be singing and serving as lectors and intercessors at the 10:30 service, and Pam Kalapy will joining us with her guitar and whistles. It promises to be a lovely morning! We’re having a one-week hiatus of fellowship time to allow for Bingo set-up. Don’t forget, the doors open for our Purse Bingo at 12pm, and bingo starts at 1.
We worship on the first day of the week because Jesus was raised on that day. Every Sunday is a little Easter. This Sunday feels more like Easter than many as the appointed texts celebrate the reality of the resurrection. Live it up this Lord’s day. Our God is the God of the living.

Thank You: Many thanks to the members of our Music Ministry for their beautiful offerings on All Saints Sunday. We received lots of favorable feedback for their efforts and are very grateful. Thanks and a very warm welcome to our new members, Roxanne Achenbach, Olivia Brotzman, and Ross Fehnel, whom we received at the 8am service. Thanks also to Lori Peck and her team of volunteers who put on a very successful movie night in the Grove, this past Saturday. Around 30 souls were on hand to enjoy The Lion King, and the wind cooperated by dying down just in time for the event.
