On the Calendar

October is ‘Fill the Hall’ Month!

Jesus once told a story of king who has prepared a wedding banquet for his son. When all things were ready, the king sends his messengers out to tell the honored guests to come, but no one comes. So, the king tells the messengers to go out into the streets to urge everyone they can find to come to enjoy the banquet “so the wedding hall was filled with guests.”

Our Lord spreads a feast of his abundant mercy, grace and love each time we gather. You know the time – Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. You know the place – the corner of Hillside and Vreeland. Now, let’s go and invite and fill the hall!

Tuesday Night Prayer Nights: Money!

Join Pastor Jim Tuesday evenings in October to talk and to pray openly, honestly, sincerely about all sorts of issues related to money. Bring your fears, your worries, your concerns about the economy, the high cost of housing, food and gas, you retirement account balance … whatever. We’ll talk. We’ll listen. We’ll pray. We will meet in the sanctuary on Tuesday at 8 p.m. starting Oct. 7. Plan on a hour meeting.

Feed on God’s Word

90-minutes a week can change your life and change the world, really. Join the lively discussion and supportive community that spring up from scripture and prayer on Thursday afternoons at 2 p.m. or Monday evenings at 7:30pm Bible Study. Together, we read, share and discuss God’s Word and what it means for our lives today. Bring a friend.

Sunday School

Sunday School is in full swing. Families gather for worship at 10 a.m. and children and teachers move to the classroom after a children message and prayer. The whole assembly gathers again to celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. If you would like to volunteer to be a teacher or helper, please call the church office.
