Lydia the 2nd Thursday (Oct 10) and Miriam meeting on the 2nd Monday of the month (Oct 14); all at 9:30 a.m. The study for October is “Receiving grace”: A study of Ephesians. I encourage all women to attend any circle that works with your schedule, all are welcome.

  The Women of Hope are assembling new born kits and are in need of donations of the following items:

-Bath towels—regular size, lightweight, approx. 50x26”

-Washcloths

-Bath-size Ivory bar soap

-Newborn cotton t-shirts or onesies

-Receiving blankets

(between 30x30” and 48x48”)

There is a bin in the narthex for your donations!

¨ A reminder there is a penny jar in the library and the money collected is shared at Spring Gathering. This summer our contributions support Grace House in Grand Rapids which is a nonprofit organization that provides safe, temporary shelter for people experiencing homelessness.

  ALTAR GUILD prepares communion and the altar area for worship.  If you’d be interested in helping, leave a message in the church office.
