| Our Summer Worship Schedule begins
on July 4th and continues through August. The 8:30 service is a spoken Service of Holy Communion and is held
outdoors in our beautiful backyard chapel. In bad weather we move indoors. Our second Service of Holy Communion with music is
indoors and the time changes to 10:00. Our Sunday School resumes in September. |
| Our second breakfast will be served at an upcoming Sunday at the end of July or beginning of August. Check back here for more details. The free will offering at the June 20th breakfast raised $233 for the benefit of the Camp Ma-He-Tu scholarship fund. Money from this fund is awarded to campers to pay for all or a portion of the costs to attend Ma-He-Tu. All are invited to attend the breakfast and any monetary donations are greatly appreciated. Thrivent will be matching one half of the funds raised. For more information contact Sara Bosland or Kathy Baumann. |
