This Sunday, your generosity can make a difference in two simple but meaningful ways. ❤️
🥫 Food First Sunday
Bring a few pantry staples to worship as we collect food for our neighbors through Heart to Heart. Your donations help stock the shelves for families in our community experiencing food insecurity.
🎒 School Supply Drive
We're also continuing to collect school supplies to help local students start the school year ready to learn, grow, and thrive. Every backpack, notebook, and box of crayons is a reminder to a child that they are seen, supported, and loved.
Whether you bring one item or many, your gifts become a tangible expression of God's love in our community.

Please say a prayer for the persons below and write your name in the booklet. Prayers & Squares will then complete the prayer quilt, with knots having been tied to represent the prayers of those who participated both at church and online. We’ll provide a list of the names to the recipients. Our ministry has always been about Congregational prayers—you do not need to personally know the prayer quilt recipient to offer a prayer for their comfort. Past recipients have attested to the power of prayer from complete strangers as well as loved ones. We know this to be true, evidenced by the Prayers & Squares motto: “It’s not about the quilt, it’s about the prayers.”
A prayer from Rev Mary Kate Buchanan: Loving God, As these persons wrap themselves in this prayer quilt, I pray they feel surrounded by Your comfort and peace. I pray they can feel the love and support of all those who are praying for them near and far. May they know that they are not alone in the struggles they face. In the name of One who came in love to show us how to love, I pray. Amen. Persons receiving prayer quilts: LS, MH, JSL, and BK

Good morning! We'd love to welcome you to worship today.
