Confirmation classes are scheduled to begin on Sunday, September 29th. Class meets twice a month after worship at 11:30 a.m. in the Sunday School classroom upstairs. We have three second-year students. Please let Rev. Rossman know if there are other students interested in beginning this journey to membership in the Church of Jesus Christ.


We are in need of additional volunteers to help run the sound board during services. It does not require a great deal of technical knowledge and training is provided. We currently have only 3 persons and would like to have more available, particularly in the summer.


The Christian Education Committee is collecting names and addresses of our college students in preparation for sending out college boxes in October. Boxes are sent in October, November, January, February, and April. No boxes are sent in March due to Spring Break. Items such as candy, school supplies, snacks, etc. are sent during the school year to our college students to let them know we are thinking of them and supporting them. Please get the information to Janet Smith as soon as possible.


Anyone would like to receive the Sacrament of Home Communion who is not a regular recipient, or anyone who would like to have a home visit is asked to  contact the church office (724-3502), and the necessary arrangements will be made.
