Welcome back to the 2026-2027 Sunday School and Confirmation season! Students Kindergarten through Grade 8 will meet together for a combined session on Sunday, September 13, in Room 3. Please bring your backpacks and plan to attend worship service for the Blessing of the Backpacks. On Sunday, September 20, Sunday School for Kindergarten through Grade 5 will begin and Confirmation will start with a Parent/Student meeting in Room 3.
We will be celebrating one of the great saints of the Church, St. Francis of Assisi on Sunday, October 4. Francis has been dead for over 800 years and yet his legacy of caring for the poor and his communion with nature continue to inspire Christians everywhere. To honor Francis, we are encouraging members to bring in pictures of their pets with the pet’s name starting Sunday, September 20. We will have a board in the back of the sanctuary for pictures. The pictures will be brought forward for a special blessing during the prayers. If you would like to remember a pet that has passed, we are happy to include their pictures also. Beginning on Sunday, September 20 we will be collecting pet food & items for the Animal Food Bank. There will be a dog crate at the back of the sanctuary to donate items. The collection will conclude on Sunday, October 4 with Blessing Our Pets.
During the Season of Lent, we will be studying how Light and Darkness appear in the Bible, especially the Prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah is known more for his words about the coming Messiah. Isaiah also gives us a foreshadowing of the death and resurrection of Jesus too.
