Adult Ministries
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Philippians 2:1 & 2

Missions
We have a small, but active, group of people who work hard to meet the needs of people everywhere. In September we have a Missions Fair scheduled. The fair will be set up for your viewing before and after services on the weekend of September 18 & 19. We’re hoping that seeing first-hand how important the ministries are that we support will encourage more involvement from our congregation members. If you would like to serve on our Missions Team, please contact Bonnie Yetter. Remember, all meetings are open to everyone who would like to answer God’s call to GO into all the world…
Our current project is our Farmer’s Market here at the church. Those of you who are raising a garden this summer are encouraged to bring excess produce and place in the baskets located in the coat rack area. Folks will have the opportunity to purchase produce, and the proceeds will benefit the local area assistance organizations which help feed area people. Thanks for your help!
