Free Sale: This year, the Free Sale will be held on Saturday, September 25th at the Refugee and Immigration Services office. The day will include both the Free Sale and a meal. There will be a variety of service opportunities that day so watch the worship folder, as well as the MyFamily and Facebook sites for more details.

The Free Sale is a great opportunity to donate stuff you no longer use, items left from a summer rummage sale, or things you find while working on that fall cleaning project. Items you can donate include bedding, towels, laundry baskets, cookware, bake ware, utensils, cups & glasses, jackets, gloves, scarves, shoes, boots, books, toys, clocks, vacuums, brooms, mops, shovels, cleaning supplies, small furniture, and new and gently used clothing. Items will be collected and sorted at church on Sunday, September 19th.

Opportunities to serve will include making gifts for 35 teachers, preparing 3 lbs. of taco meat, and providing bars or cookies. On the day we serve lunch, help will be needed with set-up, serving, and tearing-down. If you are interested in this service opportunity, please send us an email from the “Contact” tab.

We were excited to have our children tell us the story of Christmas  Sunday, December 13th.   Debbie Meyer  volunteered to facilitate the experience and has been working with the children and their teachers for the last several weeks during their Children’s Ministry time on Sunday mornings.  We were graced with their presence for the worship service as they tell us the story of Christmas.
