Toy Store 2023

The 2023 Toy Store is coming on Thursday, December 7!

SHOP

Each year we host a store for families to come shop for their children (birth-14 years old) at a greatly reduced cost. Help us stock the store by shopping off of our Amazon Wish List (tinyurl.com/4td28fsa). If you shop from this list, it will send your purchase directly to the church building. Gifts of your own choosing are welcome as well. Toys/gifts will be collected in the HUB.

SERVE

You can serve at the Toy Store as part of Families on Mission on Wednesday, December 6 when we transform the Fellowship Hall into a welcoming shop. If you would like to help when the store is open on Thursday, December 7, you can sign up for various jobs in the HUB.

SHARE

Senior Pastor Candidate Call Weekend

We are excited to welcome our Senior Pastor Candidate soon for a Call Weekend!

Please make plans to come and meet our candidate at a Meet & Greet on Saturday, July 8 from 2-4 pm in the Fellowship Hall. This will give you the opportunity to learn about, talk with, and ask questions of them.

The next day, Sunday, July 9, our Senior Pastor Candidate will be preaching in both the 8:45 am and 11 am service. At the conclusion of both services there will be a vote to extend the call for them to be our next Senior Pastor. During the 10 am Sunday School hour, the candidate will stop by classes to briefly visit.

Please know that we are doing all that we can to keep the candidate's identity a secret simply to prevent their current congregation from hearing the news from us and not from the candidate. Know that this is common practice in calling pastoral staff.

As we anticipate this exciting Call Weekend, we ask that you continue to pray for our Pastoral Search Committee, our Senior Pastor Candidate, and our congregation.
