All 2nd graders are invited to a special Baptism Workshop on Sunday, January 11th at 8:45 AM during Sunday School in Parish Hall!
Together we’ll explore what baptism means, why it’s important, and how it reminds us that we belong to God and to our church family. Through storytelling and kid-friendly discussion, children will learn about this beautiful milestone of faith.
Join us after worship on Sunday, January 4th as we work together to lovingly “undecorate” the church and pack away our Christmas decorations for another year. Many hands make light work—and there will be tasks for all ages and abilities!
Stay for a few minutes or the whole time as we take down trees, gather ornaments, and share in good conversation and community. Your help is truly appreciated as we close the Christmas season together!
Kick off the new year with a fun, family-friendly Messy Church gathering on Tuesday, January 7th at 5:30 PM in Fellowship Hall! This month we’re exploring themes from The Wild Robot—curiosity, connection, and what it means to belong.
Come enjoy hands-on activities, creative crafts, a shared meal, and a short celebration time as we discover how Roz’s story can help us grow in faith and community. All ages are welcome—bring your friends, your imagination, and your sense of adventure!
We can’t wait to see you in the wild!
