Change in Worship Times?

Your feedback is requested...

The church council is looking into changing the times of our Sunday worship so that Sunday School might be held between the two services instead of during the 9:15 worship time. Ideally there would be at least 90 minutes scheduled between the two worship services. There are several advantages to doing this.

  • This would allow for families to go the worship service of their choice rather than only having the late worship service to go to as a family.
  • The Pastor(s) would be available to teach either Sunday School or assist in confirmation class, which they are unable to do at this time.
  • The greater time between services would allow for better conversation and communication between the services over coffee and fellowship.

Mats for the Homeless: A Labor of Love

Sleeping mats for the homeless are crocheted from recycled plastic bags that are cut into strips then crocheted into 3' wide and 6' long. 

They are free to make and each mat keeps 500-700 plastic bags out of the landfill. Humanitarian and eco-friendly, the mats create insulation between the ground and body to help retain body heat. Mats are a cleaner way of sleeping as bugs do not like them. If they get wet, they dry easily. They clean up easily by rinsing and shaking. They are lightweight, portable and each comes with a carry strap. 

What can you do? Bring in your CLEAN, FLATTENED plastic grocery bags (Kroger, Publix, Walmart bags work well) and place in the basket in the fellowship hall. Join us on Workshop Days to make and roll plarn (Plastic Yarn). All ages are welcome! We had a 5 yr old rolling plarn! Can you crochet? You can participate at home and make your own mat!
