New Sermon Series "Moses: Reluctant Prophet"
NEW SERMON SERIES:
​Moses: Reluctant Prophet

​Come join us as Pastor Dawn begins her new sermon series on Sunday, August 27th at 10:00am. It is based on the book Moses: In the Footsteps of he Reluctant Prophet by Adam Hamilton.

There will also be a small group study based on the same book to accompany the sermon series. The study group will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm in the Church Parlor starting on August 30 and running through October 8.  Please sign up at church or call the church office, and pick up your book ($10) from us or order online. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow in understanding, in faith and fellowship, as we study God's word and one of God's mighty, but human, prophets together. All are welcome.

Relax and catch up on some reading this summer and then join us for a lively discussion of each month's book through August.  We'll gather on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Our selection for August is Fredrick Backman's A Man Called Ove.  You can purchase a book at our local book store or order online from Amazon for the Kindle or hard-copy version and just start reading to prepare for our discussion on August 23 at 6:30pm in the church parlor.  

First Fruits Farm Mission

We didn't get any pictures this time around but on Saturday (July 22, 2017), a bunch of us went out to pick peppers and bad tomatoes. Thanks to Robin Krell for setting up this trip and providing lunch as usual!, Thanks to Nan Kaestner and her daughter Martha, Lynn Beebe, Bob Rittler, Pastor Dawn and Kevin Hulsing for helping to pick the fields under the hot sun!  It was a wonderful morning of work and a wonderful lunch of hot dogs and other "healthy" food.  Come join us August 19th and September 22nd - we will be meeting at our church parking lot at 8 a.m. Please talk to Robin Krell to hear the powerful story of First Fruits Farm.
