Every month, we share our offerings with a community group whose mission is consonant with ours. This month we have selected theCrawford County Humane Society. The Crawford County Humane Society Is a safe haven for the community’s lost, abandoned and unwanted animals.

EMAIL AND TEXT SCAMS
There has been reports that emails have been sent from Rev. Jane Ellen asking for gift cards. This is a scam. We expect that there will be additional emails sent by “board members”. These are scams as well. Please do not respond to any text or emails from people saying they are from the Church asking for money or gift cards.

PRIDE ON THE DIAMOND
On Saturday, July 25th, the Diamond was decorated with rainbows and Pride!  The community came together to provide a safe and inclusive community Pride celebration! And we were there!! Thank you to Randy & Sandy Ball (and Sylvia!) Deb Lehman, and Ed Pechin for spending several hours on the Diamond representing our church! We had it going on for sure! Between trivia with the ticker wheel and our new button making machine we created a buzz. Randy and Ed were also great presenting talking points about the church, while handing out our sources and principles cards. A very pleasant day, for sure!

CHURCH PICNIC-AUGUST 16, 2026
The annual picnic is coming up soon!! There will be more information about that very soon. In the meantime, Lew is hoping to set up a bowl trivia game at the picnic. There will be the opportunity to create “teams” to play! A team can be anywhere from 2 to 4 players. So think who might be a fun teammate!
