Announcements & Updates
for Sunday, August 16, 2026
- Missions Movie Night: When Things Seem Impossible – Perhaps you have heard of the death of Jim Elliot? 13 years before his death, Cecil Dye died similarly from contact with the Ayore people in the Bolivian jungles. His son, Paul, chose to minister to the group of people who killed his father, and a church was eventually established among the Ayore. This movie tells the story of Paul’s pilot skills, allowing him to attempt the rescue of a missionary couple who were being held hostage by guerrillas in Colombia. Join the missions committee at 6:00 PM on Saturday, August 22 and bring a snack to share.
- Wednesday Night Prayer – Our Wednesday evening prayer group has resumed. We invite everyone on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM to the Administration Building, as we pray for Christ’s active presence in our church and our community.
- Back to Church Sunday & Church Picnic – Invite your family & friends to church on Sunday, September 6 for worship and our annual church picnic! Worship service begins at 10:30 AM, and the picnic will follow at Noon. It’s a great time of casual worship, food, games, and fellowship. The church will provide the main food for the picnic. Sign up in the foyer to bring a side dish or dessert. In preparation for the picnic, we are seeking help with setting up, cleaning up, and serving food. If you are interested in helping with any of these, please sign up in the foyer. The church will provide the main food for the picnic. Contact Don Soderberg if you have questions.
