Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. Jesus is our True North.

Explorer's Club
As we humans peer at the stars at night, there are vast amounts of seemingly “empty” space, with enormous distances between stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The universe seems to be almost all “empty” space. But that is not how God made the universe! There is much to learn in this seemingly empty space which isn't really empty at all.
Join the Explorer's Club on March 15 at 9am as we learn more about what is happening in these seemingly empty spaces. Light refreshments and coffee provided.

Memorial Garden Open House
“For all the saints, who from their labors rest…”
These opening words of the great All Saints hymn remind us of those who shaped and influenced our lives and now rest in the Lord. We all have those saints, and we carry them in our hearts and souls as we go forth to live each day. But it is also fitting to pause and remember, reflect, and appreciate, the gifts they left us with in these days.
All are invited to our annual celebration on Sunday November 3rd, to gather in the Memorial Garden after the close of worship to remember those who have been added in the last year and all who passed in earlier years. We will have cookies and refreshments and share a brief service of remembrance. You are welcome to browse the memorial walls and remember the people who shaped your life and give prayerful thanks.
Members of the Foundation Board will be present should you have any questions about you own after life care.

Join us for a Trunk-or-Treat celebration immediately following church! We are looking for people to donate candy and to decorate their trunks. Email emily.sabts@gmail.com if interested.
