There will be a Congregational Meeting on Sunday, May 17, 2026, to approve the 2026-2027 budget and to elect officers for the coming year. Both the slate of officers and the budget will be posted in the foyer and by the church office. According to our bylaws, "The Nominating Committee shall post its slate of nominees at least four (4) weeks prior to the annual elections. Any time during the following three (3) weeks any Church member may submit to the members of the Nominating Committee other names that he/she would like to see placed in nomination for the position to be filled. If the committee finds the person qualified for the position, the person’s name may be placed on the ballot. If for any reason an individual is found to be unqualified, the reason shall be given to the person who submitted the individual’s name."  All submissions should be given to Pastor Luke.  All members should plan to attend this meeting.

Friends will be meeting on Friday, May 27 at noon in the Fellowship Hall. All ladies of the church, no matter what age, are invited. You won't want to miss this time of food, fellowship and encouragement in the Word. 

There will be an Ordination Service for Luke Richter and David Purser on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 6:00 pm in the sanctuary. Join us as we celebrate this milestone in the lives of these two men.

We are in great need of restocking the Food Pantry. Besides canned foods, we are in special need of items that people can eat without a heat source. Some suggestions for the pantry are:

• Nut butter such as peanut or almond butter

• Crackers, granola bars

• Canned chicken, tuna, Spam, and salmon (packets are great for homeless)

• Canned beans and lentils

• Canned chili, soups, stew, and raviolis

• Shelf-stable milk

• Applesauce and other jarred/canned fruits

• Canned Veggies

Thanks for all who keep this ministry alive.

Monthly Prayer Focus - Living in Personal Obedience

• Pray that we would love the Lord our God with all of who we are and love not just in words but in how we live as the people of God.

• Pray that we exercise the will to obey what we already know to be true and good - the commands of the Father - and live in the way of Christ.

• Pray we would daily choose complete trust in and surrender to Jesus Christ.

• Pray that Jesus would be manifest through us to those we know who don’t yet follow Christ in our local community and the world beyond.

• Pray that we would, in and through our obedience, know the fullness and depth of life in Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit.
