Our first Mission!

I hope you will join us in the venture. Only two more week's until our new Pastor and his family are here. I am excited and I hope you are too.


Cross country moves are not easy! Many times it means leaving so much behind, friends, loved one and even pantry supplies. Can you image what it would cost to restock all of those essential items that fill our pantry and cleaning closets? Think about spices, flour and sugar.... cereals, cookies and crackers…rice, noodles and macaroni….canned soups, vegetables and fruit…bath, kitchen and laundry supplies. Let's join forces with the all new Women's Ministry on their very first mission! We are coordinating a pantry shower for the Hartke's during the first two weeks of November. We are asking you to bring food, spices, condiments, cleaning supplies, garbage cans and other essentials to be given to the our new Pastor and his wonderful family. Remember Pastor Nate and Laura also have two children so keep that in mind when doing your shopping. It would be helpful if you would call Mary Jo at 812-2639 before you shop just so we don't have all brooms and cereal and nothing else! If you would rather you can also donate a gift certificate to Tops, Wegmans, Walmart or Target (best idea and in any denomination)!


In addition, we are trying to develop a list of names who might be available to help the Harke's when their belongings arrive - unpacking and helping as needed. You will be able to sign up to help on the fellowship of worship form during the first two weeks of November.

Thank you for helping us to welcome Pastor Nate, Laura Jenna and Abigail (Abby).
