Last Friday, Ginny Vandervest was recognized with an award for her work with Emma Norton and talks about some of the folks at REZ who impacted her to get involved in this ministry of the United Methodist Women. Watch it here.
THIS SUNDAY'S MESSAGE:
On Mother’s Day we often celebrate some idealized picture of a perfect mother. But motherhood (in fact, all of life) is messy. And God uses complicated people with messy lives to carry out his plan. Find out how. Join us for worship at 8:30 & 10:00 a.m. Sundays in-person or online via Facebook or YouTube.
Plants for Mom Our annual Mother's Day Plant Sale is this Sunday, May 9, following each service. Donations are welcome and encouraged and will be sent in their entirety to St. Joseph Alamano Church in Kenya to support their Christian work. Plants available include, but not limited to: Big Boy Tomatoes • Roma Tomatoes • Cherry Tomatoes • Sweet Bell Peppers • Jalapeno Peppers • Coleus • Marigolds
Babies? You may have noticed the cross made up of yellow flowers hanging on the outside entrance door to the church since Easter. What you probably didn’t notice is the bird nest that has been built inside it, complete with two eggs. We’re hoping for bird babies sometime in May. Please do your best not to disturb the nest, i.e. no peeking. Thanks!
WANTED: Photos for Memorial Day Sunday Share your photo(s) of a loved one who passed away between 2020-present for inclusion in a slideshow during the worship services at the end of May. Upload your images online
