We had a room full of pink to support breast cancer awareness month this past Sunday! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10/23/2025 This Sunday Grady Bray was our guest speaker. He told us of the importance of Miriam and women in the early Jewish church. They told people of God’s promises and his expectations it was interesting to see. Is the church transitioned that for quite a time women lost their importance and preaching and sharing God’s word Thank you Grady for a very informative sermon The scripture reading today was John 1: 5-7. The children followed this theme in Sunday school as they learned the different aspects of prayer and they were able to construct some prayers together at the end of our session. They also painted pumpkins! Jeff Stempien gave the children’s sermon. It was based on books that he enjoyed reading to his children and grandchildren. He even brought an Elmo to perform for us 13 of us recently worked to complete our mission of road cleanup on 54 a. This is one of our church missions that we perform twice a year. Participants included Michele Covert, Christie Mosch, Stacy and Chris Wyant, Becki Whitford with Merik and Meridyn, Joyce Wiedirch, Jerry Warren, Trish DeMontfort, Jean Murdock, and, Sarah Stackhouse. Thanks to all who have helped to keep our roads clean. See you in church on Sunday.
So nice to have the kids help today in our Sunday service! They so enjoy participating in church and we all love them! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10/16/2025 Pastor Jeannine lugged a heavy backpack across the sanctuary. She had been hiking and the weight of her backpack was exhausting. She asked the kids if they often went hiking with a heavy backpack with too much stuff to carry. She opened the backpack and showed she had a stuffed animal, a Bible, iPad cover and many other items. She decided she needed the Bible and some of the important things but that she had really overpacked. She made the backpack much lighter. We need to carry what’s in our heart and what is important to us and not all of the stuff. Our scripture was read by Charlotte Tones, from John 2: 1-11. The scripture is about Jesus‘s first miracle when he turned water into wine at a wedding after the participants ran out of wine. Mary had faith to ask Jesus to do this. Do you have faith to ask Jesus, and put your needs into Jesus‘s hands? Pastor Jeannine also suggested when we speak to others to use the word "and" instead of the word "but". For example, I love Jesus and want to share it with others. While speaking to others the word "but" can be deflating. Don’t forget to return your pledge for next year to church. Stewardship month is an important time for church leaders to plan for the next year. We have several in our congregation who are healing and in the need of prayer. Don’t forget to send out cards and check on those that are currently homebound.
Shirl Burnham set up a lovely photo display on the altar, thanking our farms and our farmers for all they do in this rural community. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 10/09/2025 Pastor Jeannine started out the service talking to the kids. She asked the kids how many of them had an alarm clock. Sometimes this is to wake us up to go to school or even to church on Sunday. Jesus always calls us to wake up and follow him, and listen to his teachings! Pastor Jeannine spoke to the adults about being a neighbor. This was based on the scripture of Luke 16: 19-31. The rich man in the scripture lived behind a wall of indifference. He was not mean to Lazarus, but just ignored him. Lazarus was poor, and he had many sores on his body. When he died, he was comforted in heaven. The rich man was self absorbed in life- he did not care for his neighborly brother who was in need. Pastor Jeannine and her husband Phil have a shared driveway with their neighbor. Fortunately they have a wonderful neighbor and handle the driveway situation without any issue. Pastor went on to share with us that anyone can be our neighbor, they don’t have to live next to us. Anyone we can encounter is a neighbor whom we can help. People need to know that someone cares and we can be giving to share the love of Christ. One of our missions is through the Adopt-a-Highway program is to pick up litter on a two mile section of 54-A near our church twice a year. Our next opportunity will be on Wednesday October 8, at 10 AM. Please join us at church and make our mission an easy one! It usually takes about an hour to accomplish our goal! Happy fall!!! Where did summer go? The leaves are turning and showing us the beauty of the season.
