Join Us for Coffee
Everyone is welcome to join us for coffee between both Sunday Schools and Worship Services. This is a great opportunity to get to know our guests, members and regular attenders. Join us for fellowship time each Sunday morning in the narthex.
Volunteers are needed to host the coffee time! Duties include:
- Providing cookies or other appropriate snack
- Setting up cups, napkins, cream & sugar and moving the coffee pot from kitchen
- Welcoming all new members and visitors who may be standing alone
- Returning coffee pot to kitchen and clean up
Communion
We celebrate communion the first Sunday of every month. Visitors, seekers, regular attenders and members are invited to join us at the Lord's Table.
Fellowship Sunday
The Fellowship Fund is collected on the first Sunday of every month. Funds collected are used to assist church members and citizens of the community. In the past, this fund has been used to help a church member buy medicine, a single unemployed person purchase a tire, paid utility bills and more. These funds are generally very limited and requests continue to climb. For every one person we help, we deny another person due to the lack of funds. Help us help others by giving on Fellowship Sunday.
Food Sunday
We celebrate Food Sunday the second Sunday of every month. The food and money collected on Food Sunday goes directly to the Thrift Shop, run by Church Women United. When a family requests food from us, we give them a voucher which is filled in by the Thrift Shop. This is a vital ministry and the only one of its kind in the area. Non-perishable foods and donations of cash are always needed and welcomed each Food Sunday. Thank you again for your support!
