Celebrating 175 years — established 1833
What's New as of August 24, 2008
- Telescope,
and Growing Disciples: August 20
- “Setting
Ourselves Straight”, Rev. Janice Palm’s sermon from
August 17, is available here.
- Coming in
September: Two events you won't want to miss!
¶ First, on Sept. 7, there’s
Homecoming Sunday — our traditional kickoff for the church
program year. The choir will be back in full swing, and Church
School resumes, too. This year, there’s an added feature: the
Affirmation of Rev. Janice Palm’s appointment as our new senior
pastor. A special fellowship gathering will be hosted after the
worship service by the Staff Parish Relations Team.
¶ Then on Sept. 21 we will celebrate
our 175 years of ministry with a special service followed
by a potluck luncheon. District Superintendent Rev. Jim Fenimore
will preach. Please sign up to bring a dish, dessert or drinks—or
to help us set up and clean up; contact Beena Salik at 810-2613
or bsalik@hotmail.com.
- Church 101,
a special learning fellowship of Troy Conference, will offer five
different courses this October -- on two dates and in two locations.

for information from the Conference web site.
- The Upper
Room study group is offering a special adult study for this
coming year. On the third Wednesday of each month (starting Sept.
17) from 7–8:30 p.m. we will be discussing John Ortberg’s book,
God is Closer Than You Think. We will be doing just one chapter
a month, hoping that this pace will enable some busy people to
join in this very interesting and thought-provoking study. Ortberg
has an unique and oft times humorous style to make his points.
You may purchase your own
book on Amazon.com. We would like to start with the first chapter at the September
meeting.
- Our choirs
will resume practices in September. For details, click here.
- Kevin Conway was
given a Volunteer Service Award at the Tent-A-Thon on Aug. 14
in recognition of his valuable contributions to the Habitat for
Humanity mission.
An
archive of sermons, our Telescope and Growing Ministries
newsletters and our Milestone publications is available
here. If
you’d be interested in receiving e-mails to notify you
whenever a new Telescope is on-line, drop a note to the
Church Office.
