If you see a small project that could be done to help make our space a little brighter, please fill out a card and leave it in the box.

In 1995, Thomas Cahill began a series he called The Hinges of History. Perhaps the two best known are How the Irish Saved Civilization and The Gifts of the Jews. In his introduction to the series, he wrote:
We normally think of history as one catastrophe after another… but history is also the narratives of grace, the recounting of those blessed and inexplicable moments when someone did something for someone else, saved a life, bestowed a gift, gave something beyond what was required by circumstance.

Could we Enter the New Year Debt Free?
In 2016, the church borrowed $60,000 on a line of credit to make up for a short-fall in the budget for that year. There were no funds included in the current year’s budget to pay down the debt, and nothing has been included in the budget for 2018 toward repayment. Our interest payment is $200 per month.

In the six churches where I served as an Intentional Interim (meaning a self-study was involved), one consistent response was always voiced at the conclusion of the workshops: “We really needed to do this. I really feel I know people in a way I never did before.”
The Search Committee is off to a great start with a cook-out held at the home of Debby and Wayne Griffin, with the assistance of George Coleman. Our first official meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 3.
