Christmas is the story of God coming to us through Jesus. This Advent Season, we
are planning to publish a devotional guide that is focused on telling the story of God that is written in our lives. If you would like to share your story of how it intersects with God's story, then please let us know by sending a message to

. We will send you a guide on writing and sharing your story of you and God that includes significant relationships and moments in your life.
We are in need of Community Goups, Sunday school classes, or
individuals that would like to sponsor a lunch on Thursdays at USM at
11:30 a.m. (includes setting up tables and serving). We are serving
approximately 20 people each week. If you are interested, please
contact the church office at 863-9619.
We are expanding our efforts to serve the kids in our local community! We currently pack bags of food to send home with children over the weekends. We are now going to stock supplies for: dinner during the week, clothes (including new socks and underwear), hygiene supplies, washing detergent, and gift cards to Dominos/Pizza Hut/Papa John's. These will be distributed to the schools as families need them. We will also be helping families with funds to grocery shop and do their laundry. We are excited to be partnered with our Open Table Ministry in these efforts. If you would like to donate any of these items, you can bring them to Lori Cripple on Sunday mornings or at the church office during the week. You can place financial donations marked for Backpack Buddies in the offering plate.
