THIS WEEK'S WORSHIP VIDEO - SEPTEMBER 20:
SCROLL DOWN BELOW THE LITTLE FREE PANTRY NOTE

UMW NEWS:  Annual Meeting on Zoom

Little Free Pantry
Om Patel is an industrious young man who took up all the carpet in the hallway, painted a room and replaced all the bad ceiling tiles in the neighborhood center upstairs. This was his Eagle Scout Project. But after that, he wanted to do more so he built this Little Free Pantry by himself. People have been taking food from it and others have been donating food for it! It’s a beautiful new ministry that our church is excited about. Om is a sophomore and a very caring youth. He has organized a food collection this weekend for the Little Free Pantry as well as our church’s monthly food pantry.  Thanks also to Brian Rosecrance for sharing the picture and info.

Welcome to our online worship service. The videos prepared by our church staff are ready for you. Also note the links for bulletins and online giving.   Stay well and thank you for adapting to these temporary changes as we continue to BE the church. Going to church is great. Being the church is greater. The most recent video is below. Others can be viewed by clicking here:  Communications Tab: Video Worship

"While we may be suspending our in-person worship gatherings and events, we will not stop being the church."

Going to church is great. Being the church in the world is greater.

If your church plans to assemble kits, they may be delivered to the Three Rivers District Ministry Center.  It is always a good idea to call ahead of time to make certain someone is in the office to accept your delivery.
