Our Generosity Campaign kicks off today! If you did not receive information in the mail, click here and scroll down to read the letter and flyer. View our online pledge card here. And save the date for the Generosity Campaign celebration brunch potluck on 10/27 after worship.
In addition, during worship on Oct. 6, 13, and 20 we will be collecting items for ISAAC’s Newcomer Youth Winter Drive, specifically winter hats, warm gloves, and teen hygiene bags (full-sized products in reusable grocery bags. Items include: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, body wash, razors, toothpaste, floss, toothbrush. You can contribute items without assembling a bag!) Sunday 9 a.m. adult small groups. We are hoping to host a couple more small groups for adults for another 6 week session, starting 11/3. Equipping the Saints is the theme. Please interpret this theme any way you'd like, knowing it is post-election, a time of All Saints, Thanksgiving, etc. If you are interested in leading one, please contact Pastor Marta or Brooklyn. We are excited to open up a short-term, part-time ministry position that embodies our mission of hospitality to all, transforming experiences, and unfolding God’s Kin-dom.
