Wee Worship

Posted on by

Starting Sunday, September 17

While we LOVE having our children in worship and feel that we want that to continue, we realize that for some preschool children (and their parents) the time of the adult sermon can be a stressful. Parents worried their child will disturb others! Kids not understanding the message and becoming fidgety! With Wee Worship, we hope to alleviate some of the stress. After the Children’s Sermon, preschool children (Ages 2-5) have the option go with a leader to the small classroom off of the Commons. The leader will read a short story, lead them in a short craft and maybe even teach them a song. They will then be brought back to the Sanctuary following the collection of the offering to participate in Holy Communion and the remainder of the service!

the plan for the rest of the summer:

AUGUST: Pasta and Grains
SEPTEMBER: Lunch Snacks

Flowers for the Sanctuary

A flower chart for the remainder of this year is located on the table in The Commons. If you plan to provide them yourself, make a note of that. If you want us to provide, please write a check for $40 to HTLC with a note that it is for flowers.

Sky Is Falling Campaign

Posted on by

The Sky is Falling campaign is seeking to raise $150,000 for the replacement of the church’s flat (rubber) roof.

There has been significant damage over time, and well, time and sun has contributed to the deterioration.

This campaign will see full funding in 24 months (May 2025)

Without a sound roof on the building, there is nothing under it that can be protected.

Runners & Walkers & Movement wanna bes

Posted on by

Beginning on the first Sunday in February (2/5), weather permitting, we will be hosting a running/walking club every Sunday afternoon. We will plan to meet at the church at 2:30 pm and make our way to the W&OD Trail (either walking/running or driving down and parking), then we’ll spend about an hour getting some steps in. No minimum speed requirement, everyone can go at their own pace. After our hour we’ll meet back at the church for some refreshments and a short fellowship.

If you’d like to get a notification in case we decide to skip a week due to weather, or would just like to express interest, please send me an email (ann.rmk@gmail.com) or a text (402-917-7676).
