Thank you to EVERYONE that helped with the Fall rummage Sale!! The help with set-up and clean-up is greatly appreciated, along with all those that help with food, assisting customers, taking money, keeping the tables looking nice, and of course, just shopping. It is all greatly appreciated and wouldn't be possible without everyone's help!!

The Call Committee has asked that you Save the Date for Saturday, October 10 at 10am (10/10 at 10), to give your input to what you feel our church needs in a pastor and who we are to help attract that Shepherd to lead our flock. Lunch will be provided. 

In the event that any of the members should have a need for Pastoral services, please reach out to the office or Cheryl Luidhardt and arrangements will be made to meet your needs as quickly as possible. The office hours are Mon-Fri, 9am-1pm unless otherwise noted. The phone messages are checked in the morning and early evening every day. 

The 2026 Offering Envelopes are available in the back of the sanctuary. If you do not have an assigned box but would like envelopes, please feel free to take a blank box. If you take a blank box, please be sure to contact the office in order for that number to be connected with your name in the computer. Thank you for your help!

The 2026 Altar Flower Chart is now hanging on the bulletin board in the main entrance at the rear of the sanctuary. Please take a few minutes to sign-up for your special Sundays throughout the New Year. If you are new to the process, you will receive a reminder call during the week before your Sunday and will be asked for bulletin information. You are free to get flowers from the place of your choice, and the flowers are yours to take after the services. If you do not wish to take them, the Altar Guild will find a shut-in, nursing home, rest home, or assisted living facility to take them. Thank you for your assistance with this each year and the beautiful flowers each Sunday. 

The October, November, & December 2026 Portals of Prayer are available at all the entrances to the sanctuary and in the office.

A set of keys have been turned into the office that were found in one of the purses that was donated to the Rummage Sale. If you think they might be yours or if you hear of anyone looking for a set, please direct them to the office. 

The sign-up sheet for the 2026 Lay Readers is hanging on the bulletin board next to the Altar Fower Chart in the main entrance at the rear of the sanctuary. Please take a few minutes to look it over and sign up for a Sunday or a month at a time, at either the 8:15am or 10:30am services. Your help is needed and greatly appreciated. 

Communion Assistants are needed once a month, especially for the 8:15am worship service. If this is something you might be able to help out with, please contact Cheryl Luidhardt or the office. Thank you!

Help is needed with running the sound system during the worship services, especially the 8:15am service. If this is something that you would be interested in learning, please let the office know or talk to Brandon.

The Education Department is in need of a Sunday School Director and also someone to lead the younger children in Music at the beginning of the Sunday School Hour each Sunday and while singing during the Worship Services once a month. Please see Dave Crum if this is something that you feel may be a good fit for you.

Please contact the office if you do not wish to have your photo in the newsletter, website, or the church social media site(s). Our wishes are to protect our member's privacy while still promoting our church to the community.
