Interest has been expressed in joining the church.  If others would like to be part of a class for progressive members, see Derek or one of the Elders.  The class is designed for those considering church membership.  But if you’re already a member and still don’t have the foggiest idea what Congregationalism is about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class.  Details to follow.

It's "Onward in October" Month in Sunday School!  This is our month to remember to be on time for Sunday School at 9:30, bring your Bible, bring an offering, and bring a friend who wants to learn about the Bible with you! Let's keep working hard to memorize our Bible verses, too!

Choir practices are now from 9-10 a.m. one Saturday morning per month, usually toward the end of the month.  If you would like to join choir, please see Alice or Kathy for the date.  We would love to have you come sing with us!

The church’s financial statement for September 2017 is posted for review in the office over the copy machine.
