​

Women's Book Group: Please join us as we read "The Body Teaches the Soul: Ten Essential Habits to Form a Healthy and Holy Life" by Justin Whitmel Earley. This book discusses the relationship between our physical and spiritual health and provides simple steps to improve both.  We will start this book on August 10th and join together for dinner and a review on Thursday, October 8th at 6 :00pm at the church. Please let Kely Dunsmoor know if you are interested.

​

Lawns & Landscaping: A team of volunteers meets on Thursday mornings to mow the lawn and maintain the church grounds. They are looking for more individuals to help out! If Thursdays don’t work for you, weeding, trimming and edging can be done at any time. Currently, the landscaping along the promenade, along the north side of the preschool addition, and all around the parsonage could especially use some attention. If you have want to help, please speak with David Hedin or Willie Husby.
