Special Thanks Our thanks to Larry Davenport, Carl Williams and Scott Dinges for their continued help with church maintenance. They are packing copper wool into the area where the roof meets the wall. This should keep out our occasional bird visitors. Thanks guys!!!

Sunday School Sunday School will begin Sept. 16th . We will hold Sunday School every Sunday. At the end of Liturgy, all children will come forward for the sharing of bread, before the adults. They will then go immediately to the church house for Sunday School. On a non-Liturgy Sunday, children should go to the church house at 11 a.m. There will be 3 classes: children 2-4 years, 5-10 years, and 11years and up. Our thanks to all who helped make this a reality. Please consider supporting our Sunday School with a one time, or annual gift. Remember, our children should be part of the community of saints.

Congratulations Our congratulations to Philmon Fessahai who will be traveling to Mexico as an exchange student. He will be attending the University of Jalapa, studying the Spanish language and the history of Mexico. He will be a guest in a Mexican home, with one other American exchange student. We wish him every success and look forward to hearing about his trip in December.
