News & Notes

The Rev. Steven Fuller, senior minister, has accepted a new opportunity. From his letter to the congregation: “The ties that bind us have been secured with the faithful study of scripture, the humble pursuit of God’s Kingdom, the quiet perseverance of prayer and the whole-hearted worship of our one, glorious, and loving God. I give thanks for the love you have shown and the grace you have shared.”

Congratulations to Molly Berghout, our church organist, who has just begun her studies towards a master’s degree in sacred music in Texas. We appreciate her 2+ years of service to our church!

Vacation Bible School was a whopping success! Over 50 children and dozens of volunteers joined in over 4 days, ending with a special performance during Sunday worship.

Thanks for supporting the Youth Group’s back-to-school drive for supplies, led by Rebekah Wyncoop. Dozens of children at Lingerfeldt Elementary were thrilled with free backpacks filled with tools to start the school year.
