Service of Remembrance

Tuesday, November 17, 7:00 pm in Halldorson Hall

Led by the Deacons, Pastor Tom, and organist Steve Zimmerman, this contemplative service of candlelight and music provides an opportunity to honor and give thanks for our departed friends and loved ones.

All are welcome to join us as we acknowledge our grief and claim the hope we share in God’s eternal love.

Pastor’s Bible Study: The Book of Ruth

Wednesday Mornings at 9:30 am, beginning September 16, Theos Room

Members and friends are invited to join us for an informal, conversation-based study of the book of Ruth. This short, beautifully crafted book tells the story of two women - Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi. After both are widowed, Ruth chooses to cast her lot with Naomi and follow Naomi's God, a decision that reshapes both their lives and, ultimately, threads its way into the lineage of King David. Along the way the study will explore themes of loyalty, belonging, and how God's providence moves through ordinary acts of faithfulness and generosity. All are invited to join us as we explore this beloved four-chapter book together.

Join us for K-4 Fellowship on Wednesdays, from 5:30-7:00 pm.  Children will make a craft, have music time with Ms. Caitlyn, share dinner, and learn Bible stories and games with Ms. Elizabeth.  Older youth encouraged to volunteer.
