Highlights

Bring your craft to church.  Its fun to work with others.

Sunday September 8th will be the next “Bring One” Sunday for the Elmwood Blessing Box in Garden City. Any non-perishable food items that you bring will be much appreciated. 

In September, we are starting a new three-part Bible study entitled Receiving grace:  A study of Ephesians.

What is grace? In the gospels, Jesus never offers a definition or even uses the word. It is Paul who brings the term "grace" into Christian life and thought. It appears most often in his letter to the Romans (18 times), but he never defines it or tells us what he believes it means.

All women are invited to join in the study and fellowship.  The Women's Bible study group will meet on the third Wednesday.  Copies of the Bible study available from Laureen Preston's mailbox.  

The office will be closed the Friday and Monday of Labor Day week-end.

Confirmation classes for 7th and 8th graders will begin on Sunday, September 8 after worship service, in  the Chapel. Requirements for this “Small Catechism” year will be discussed. Parents are invited to attend  this first day. This is the year that students should make every effort to attend each and every week.  

Upon completion of the requirements, the rite of confirmation for 8th graders will be on Pentecost  Sunday, June 8, 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that Sunday School will be starting up again soon!

Classes will begin on the Sunday after Labor Day, which is September 8th.

We look forward to seeing all of our wonderful children back and ready to learn and grow in their faith. Mark your calendars and get ready for an exciting year ahead

We'll be meeting as usual by Zoom on Wednesday evenings. Jane and I would love to have some new folks join the weekly conversations we have while studying the Bible.  This time we'll be studying the book of James using a study guide by Margaret Feinberg.  Please contact Jane Alder or George Evalt if you have any questions or wish to join us.

Our choirs will begin rehearsals for the fall season on Thursday, September 5, with bells at 6 pm and singers at 7 pm.  We are always happy to welcome new members, so please feel free to join us right after Labor Day.  For more information, speak to Donna, the music director or any choir member.

The newest group is A.A. which meets on Mondays and Fridays at 5:00 pm. It is a closed discussion meeting – only for alcoholics.
