Pathways Theological Education
Are you interested in seeking authorized ministry, wanting continuing education, or looking for a progressive theology, ethics, or practical church course?
 
PATHWAYS Theological Education, Inc. is a 501c3 program that grew from a program of the Southeast Conference UCC. It remains affiliated with the Southeast Conference. The program offers a full menu of courses. The courses are asynchronous, geographically unbound, affordable, and aligned with the UCC Marks of Faithful and Effective Authorized Ministers. You may check out the program at  pathwaystheological.org or talk with Pastor Matt.

It’s hard to believe that It will be time for Vacation Bible School before we know it.  We have the dates set for Sunday, June 25 – 29 from 5-8 pm and we hope to have you join us either by sending your child or grandchild or being a volunteer.  Another way you would be able to help us out would be by donating supplies. We will have lists for supplies that we need available at the church soon as well as on an Amazon wish list that we have created.  The following link will take you straight there  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3SJVCG1NPY6P?ref_=wl_share
 
You can click on the QR code on the flyer that will take you to the registration or you can go to the link https://tinyurl.com/mpmrbjnk
 
If you have any questions please contact Megan Horman or Kelly Nabb.
 
Thank you!!
