The Called to Care team is presenting two workshops: Sept. 21 Advance Care Planning and Sep. 28 Planning a Memorial Service.

From Judgement to Curiosity: Building Bridges in Conflict- October Workshop Series: The first cohort was so successful we are offering a second one in October. 

Upcoming Book Group reading: Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and Repair by Hilary Giovale. Tuesdays September 16 and 30 at 1:00 p.m. for about an hour in the Fireplace room. Join us as we continue discussing of the author’s story of her awakening awareness of her own whiteness.

Each of us has times when we are lonely, grieving, hurt, or in need of care. In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes that when we suffer and are troubled, we find comfort through Christ (2 Corinthians 1:4–6)—and one of the ways we find this comfort is through other caring Christians.

We are reconvening our Grandparent Group and invite you all to join us for another year of support and fellowship as we continue to negotiate our grandparenting journeys. We will continue to meet every second Thursday from 10:00-11:30 am in the Fireplace Room. All are welcome! 

It’s back - the all-church rummage sale, Saturday, September 20. If you have items that you no longer need and want to send them on to a new home - this is your chance. We are collecting items now.

Church Council met on Monday, August 25. Here is an overview of the meeting.

The class is intended to give a basic understanding of the genesis of a world religion and to set the stage for an understanding of the Shia/Sunni schism. This is not a class on the theology of Islam or the Qur'an, although we will touch upon the teachings of the Qur'an.
