Fellowship Hall Refresh/Remodel - The Fellowship Hall trustees have formed a committee to explore different options to refresh/remodel our Fellowship Hall. The committee is currently working with an architect to explore three different options to present to the church. We hope to present an update of the three options in November but we wanted to make you aware that this project is being explored. If you have any questions or interest, please feel free to reach out to any of the committee members. The committee is: Scott and Erin Leman, Milt and Jen Getz, Matt and Melissa Kaufman, Jeremy and Melinda Knepp, and Jason and Ellie Rassi  

College Care Packages - As a church body, we would like to remember our college students by praying for them, encouraging them and sending a small care package. If you would like to send a care package, you can pick up an envelope containing your student’s information on the bulletin board in the back hallway. Thanks in advance for your generosity and please be intentional about reaching out to them within 2-3 weeks of receiving their information.
