Maren Tirabassi is Coming to Visit

You won't want to miss Maren on March 23 as part of our year long 25th Anniversary Celebration.  Rev. Maren Tirabassi was our minister here from 1996 to 2003.  We are excited to welcome her back for a visit.  She will be our guest preacher during worship and then will stay afterwards for a light lunch so we will have plenty of time to visit and catch up.  Save the date so you can join us for this special day.
 

Mission Trip

These are some photos from our Mission Trip to the Dominica Republic.  Working through Christian Medical Mission we built a house, constructed decking and stairs to connect two mission, distributed food, clothing and eye glasses.  It was an amazing trip to a beautiful country and we were changed by the experience.  Participants included Ken Flesher, Charlie Henry, Janet Henry, Bob Murphy, Gayle Murphy, Bill Nickerson, Margie Nickerson, Gregg Pitman, Sandi Straus and Jan Walsh.

Stay Tuned

Gayle and friends will be returning on Saturday from their trip to the Dominican Republic.  Stay tuned, I'm sure we'll have pictures and stories come soon.

Missions Trip and Sunday Worship

Today a group of ten people will be leaving for the Domincan Republic on a Missions Trip.  While in the Domincan they will be working on a construction project.  Say a prayer for their safety travelling and that they manage to accomplish what they set out to accomplish while their away.
Because Gayle is travelling with them, we are blessed to have Jane Roberts as our Lay Preacher on Sunday.  We hope you will join us to hear what she has to say about time.
