Join us at 9:30am for coffee and muffins; bring a bag lunch. And there will be pie, to recognize PIE Day – Public, Intentional, Explicit.

* A quote to think about…

I believe that without a compelling vision, no congregation can survive in the current reality. The vision needs to be refreshed and renewed continually. We must be constantly asking ourselves the question: What is God calling us to do in this community? *

Collaboration Team continues to monitor our relationship together, as a collaborative ministry. This is a living relationship that takes hard work, courage, tolerance and acceptance.

The team is always looking for your ideas and comments – both celebrations and concerns – to ensure things are going as well as can! Please share your thoughts with the team, board/council members, Rev Simba or Stacy at the office.

Fishing – the Worship Team is wanting pictures of people fishing for an upcoming service. If you would like to shared a photo of you, your family or friends fishing, that would be greatly appreciated!!

Wanted: People willing to get trained to run the tech each Sunday. This will enable those who run the tech regularly to take a week or two off, and would allow less panic to ensue when one of our techies is sick or away. Please talk to anyone on the tech team on any given Sunday.

Song leaders are also needed. This would again allow for us to have people to lead the singing on a weekly basis. Please talk to any of the song leaders.

Joint Worship Committee: This group meets every Tuesday starting at 9am. If you would like to join the group on any given Tuesday, please let Judy, Roxanne, Bill or Judith know.
