Transition Team
We are happy to inform you that the church's transition team is up and running! What is a "transition team" and what does this mean for each of us? A transition team is made up of individual church members who are tasked with helping to define who we are as a church and what our mission is moving forward. Before beginning the call process for a new pastor, this gives us the opportunity to take a step back and reassess what we do well and what we see as our vision for the future. This process will help us present our best selves to future pastoral candidates. This is where we need each and very one of you. WE are the church. EVERY voice matters.
Transition Team Members
- Charlene Stephenson

Cuba 2024
We are returning to Cuba June 5 thru June 11th. Please pray for the team and look for ways to support them in the coming weeks.
Care-Net
A new ministry is being formed by Lorna Saddler called Care-Net. She is looking for a group of men and women to help with members of the congregation to accomplish small tasks that they need done. Some examples are below:
- Visits so family members can get out to get groceries etc.
- Help w/ making lunch (does not include providing food)
- Help with basic chores such as getting to the bathroom or getting dressed or undressed for bed.
- Driving to doctor appointments.
Nursery update
The nursery is available to children with a parent or guardian on Sunday mornings during all 3 worship services. The 9:00 and 10:30 worship services can be streamed in the nursery so that parents or guardians may still watch (directions are on the wall how to operate Roku). As always, children are welcome to attend services.
Are you a Thrivent Member?
Are you a Thrivent member? Thrivent is a financial organization with deep roots in the Lutheran Church. Did you know? If you are a Thrivent member with an annuity or life insurance policy, Thrivent gives you two opportunities each year to provide $250 in action team funding (and t-shirts!) to church or community events?
If you have never put your Thrivent Action Team money to work, we can help. Contact the church office, Thrivent, or your Thrivent representative.
We are looking for Thrivent members to “host” events for upcoming events.
