† I AM A CHURCH MEMBER The Board of Elders recently finished working through the book, “I Am A Church Member”. We found it to be a helpful resource for one who wants to grow and mature in their view of themselves as a church member. We did not make use of the “pledge” at the end of each chapter. Use your own discretion there. We are making the book available to whoever wants to read it. The stack is on the table outside the nursery.
† RALLY DAY-WE ARE THE CHURCH Sunday School and LWML will be joining forces for Rally Day 2022. It will be next Sunday, September 11 and will include Rally Day activities, an Italian lunch, and a dessert auction. We would love for this event to be for everyone in the church, so please come and join our celebration!
