Through the summer, there will be “Summer Sunday School” for kids in Kindergarten and up, where members of the Congregation provide fun activities for the kids.  Kids start in the service with their family, then leave together for their special activity of the morning. The nursery is available for children age 5 and under. And know that children are always welcome in the sanctuary with you!

Today:

• Rev. Karin Kilpatric’s message: “The Willingness to Come and See”
• Summer Sunday School with Sue Wedaa
• Silent Dessert Auction & Bake Sale following worship
• Honey spinning with Chester Collett following worship

Immediately following worship on Aug 17, we will have a dessert silent auction and bake sale.
There will be many delectable selections to bid on! All bake sale items will be 2 for $1 and all larger items (pies, cakes, etc.) in the silent auction will have a starting bid of $10. Please join us and bring your appetite and your $$$.
Also, following worship, Chester Collett will be spinning honey from one of our bee hives. You are welcome to watch the fascinating process and Chester is happy to answer any of your questions.

All proceeds from the Bake Sale & Auction will go towards offsetting the cost of our family camp on October 3-5 at La Foret.

The current read for Book Club is The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare. We will meet to discuss it on Tuesday, September 9 at 1pm. Books are available for check out from the book kit on the Welcome Table. For information, contact the Church Office.

Beginning Sept. 14 we will reconvene at 8:30 am for “gathering time” and discussion starting promptly at 8:45 am. We will begin considering ideas in the book, The Serviceberry, subtitled “an economy of gifts and abundance” by Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass and Gathering Moss. Louise, Robbie, and Chuck believe this could inspire some discussion relevant to our times and our Christian responsibility to care for the earth and each other. The book is available at online used book sources and possibly local used bookstores. Also, at Target and Walmart for $11.90.
