BackpackSunday, August 25, 2013 United Methodist Women will observe Children's Sabbath at the 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. worship services. Watch for children of all ages as they lead our worship services. They will be your greeters, ushers, lay readers, and special music providers. The message will be about children and John Smoke will provide the "blessing of the backpacks" during the time for children.

Please join us as we celebrate the youth in our congregation on this special Sunday.

Hymns of Praise Sanctuary Memorial Windows

Sanctuary Window - The Dove

The congregation has an opportunity to honor a loved one through our Sanctuary Window Memorial Project. This memorial project, funded entirely by private donations, offers a unique opportunity to honor and remember a loved one for generations to come.

Production of the windows, which are designed by Rich Flory, has begun and the first window panes have been installed. View the Sanctuary Window web page to follow the production process. Photos and comments will be added as production progresses with each of the 9 windows.

If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact Diane Kerr or call the church office.
