Grief Support

Starting in December 2024, we are offering a grief support program which is open to the public and to all ages. We will meet in the Conference Room on the first Monday of each month, 7-8pm, for a time of sharing, prayer, education and referral to professional counseling, if needed. Grief is not limited to the death of a loved one. It can be a result of any major life change and it can recur weeks, months or even years later. If you are struggling with the grief process, we invite you to join us.  If you have any questions or would like more information, contact the church office or our Pastor.

Baby Pantry

The Baby Pantry is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00am to 1:00pm when the Church Office is open.  Anyone in need of supplies can come during those times or call the church office to schedule a special time to pick up.  Anyone wishing to donate to the pantry can drop off their donations at the church office during the Pantry hours of operation.

The Baby Pantry has assisted many families with young children in the past.  We pray that we can continue to help families in need many times more.

Stewardship Minute -- The Importance of Trust 

Trust is an important part of a relationship between spouses, between parents and children, between employers and employees, and between friends. To illustrate the importance of trust, I will share a story from former President Eisenhower who described an event from his earlier days on a Kansas farm. 
“An older farmer had a cow we wanted to buy.” the President said. “We went over to visit him and asked about the cow’s pedigree.”              “Don’t know,” replied the farmer. 
“Well, how’s her butterfat production?” we asked.                                                                                                                                                                                   “Don’t know.” 
“Let’s see,” my dad finally said. “How many pounds of milk does she give each year?”                                                                                                                  “Don’t know that either,” said the farmer shaking his head. “But I do know she’s an honest cow and she’ll give you all the milk she has!” 
“Well,” Ike concluded. “I’m kinda like that old cow. You can always trust me to give you everything I have.” 

Life would be so much easier if we could take people at their word. It doesn’t take long to discover that talk is cheap, so we are forced to decide whom or what we will trust. Where do we place our faith and confidence? Do we trust God as our source of life and things? Trusting is not an easy thing to do. We may trust God in some things but not all things. By nature, we are self-reliant, and we live in a society that admires self-reliance and discourages trust in anyone other than oneself. 

Trust knows that God loves us and wants the best for us. Complete trust in God is seeking God Himself, rather than His gifts. Knowing God, through Christ, brings about a self-surrender and total trust in Him. Then our trust is not dependent on what He gives, but Who He is. 

In the same manner that God proves He is trustworthy, God wants us to prove our trustworthiness. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). How blessed we are that our God can be trusted totally and that He loves and trusts us enough to be His ambassadors and representatives here on earth. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, we can be faithful to His trust.
