Join us for WORSHIP
Be A Little Kinder Everyday!
At the beginning of the Epiphany we invited you to do some random acts of kindness and document them by writing them down on index cards. We would like to get your card with your acts of kindness between now and the beginning of Lent, which is Sunday, March 10th. The card can be anonymous. We would like to use them as inspiration for Lent and Easter.
Family SUNDAY
We welcome all families and especially children and youth to be part of and participate in the worship service as part of our commission to pass on the faith to new generations.
NOISY OFFERING to be collected by our kids and youth at the end of the service. Remember to bring your change!

This year’s recipient of funds is Good Bridge Community, a new organization with a mission to help the economic struggling and homeless people in Summit County. Their goal is to see that everyone has a place to call home and to prosper in this glorious gift of life. Good Bridge Community collaborates with the Summit Interfaith Council and other community leaders to address the stigma of homelessness and find sustainable solutions.
😊Saying Good-bye to Katie Romanoski 😢
(Sunday, February 17th, following worship)
Our beloved Katie will be moving from Summit County at the end-of-the month to Lake George, New York, where her son and younger grandchildren live.
We have created many memories with Katie over the years. We enjoyed her art, her creativity, her management skills,and her passion for Christ's ministry.
Let us create a LOVE BOX for her with your cards reflecting on your relationship with her over the years. Plan on staying for cake on Sunday, February 17th, which will be her "last" Sunday. However, we will feel her spirit every Sunday as her beautiful banners hang in the sanctuary. We will miss you!
