LYDIA CIRCLE - SEPTEMBER 8 The Lydia Circle Bible Study begins on Monday, September 8, from 10:00 am - 11:30 am. We will meet every second Monday except December until May. This year's study is "Heaven" by Jennifer Rothschild and is a video and book study. Each month is a different lesson, so it is all right if you miss a month along the way. Books are $12.00 and are available at the church office or the day of the study. Questions, please contact the church office. Social Justice - September 10 The Social Justice group will meet on Wednesday, September 10 at 7:00 pm. We will meet in the church parlor. This month, in addition to justice concerns, we will be discussing ways to contribute to Pastor Lindsay's Peacemaking worship. Anyone wanting to attend or participate in this worship service is welcome to attend. SUMMER VESPERS - SEPTEMBER 11 Join us for our final Summer Vespers. Evening worship service will be held outside at 7 pm, weather permitting (in the sanctuary if the weather is bad), with contemporary music, a variety of speakers, and time for contemplation and prayer. Bring your lawn chair and join the church family for this special service. Bocce Fall League - September 13 This year, the season will begin on Saturday, September 13th and go for a total of seven weeks, plus one week for the playoffs. This league is different than the summer league, as everyone who signs up will be randomly assigned a new partner each week! At the end of the seven weeks, you will be paired up based on their results and that will be your partner for the playoffs! This league is also much more flexible on subs, if you are unable to make it on a certain week, no worries, anyone from the league is able to sub for you. This is a great opportunity for more bocce, to get to know our players, and for great fellowship! Please follow the link to sign up - last day to sign up is Wednesday, September 10th. https://forms.office.com/r/0rSXnhKmgw Any question please contact the church office. CHOIR RETURNS - SEPTEMBER 18 The Bell Choir and Sanctuary Choir will resume rehearsals Thursday evening September 18th. New singers and ringers are welcome! The bell choir rehearses at 6:30 pm and the sanctuary choir at 7:30 pm. For more information concerning choir please contact Debbie at Dbroker109@comcast.net. CHILDREN'S CHOIR Our Children's Choir is for school age students who have completed Kindergarten through junior high. We rehearse following worship from September to May.
