 Arianna's Baptism June 1, 2008

 Celebrating the sacrament of Baptism is a joyous event in the church life. It  marks the acceptance of the infant or any who are not baptised into the care of Christ's church. We rejoice in the baptism of Arianna and her mother Juli.

 Decorating the Church for Christmas

 Decorating the church for the Christmas season is a group effort. There is good fellowship as everyone does their part to make the church look and feel festive. The Christmas Tree was moved to Fellowship Hall this year and was enjoyed during all the coffee hours! The angel tree was also there. Thank you to all who purchased gifts for families in the community!

 Blessings Sunday

 Blessings Sunday was held November 11, 2007. We enjoyed beautiful violin music of Margaret Murphy who was supported by her husband, David. Following the service we enjoyed a pot luck luncheon. Ceara and Rachel would like to start with dessert! Jim Rechtin served as our emcee and encouraged us to share with the others the blessings we received over the past year.

Margaret Murphy and husband. Margaret was the guest violinist for the worship service.

 Ceara and Rachel think this would be a good place to start!

 Yummy!

Tables of families and friends gathered to share in the meal, the fellowship and the joys and blessings of the past year.

 Our emcee, Jim Rechtin encourages us to share our joys and blessings with everyone.

The church has a pie and canned jams and jellies table at the annual Holiday Bazaar on November 17, 2007.  The pie bake at the church provided 60 some pies and we had a lot of fun baking together. And several other folks baked at home to provide holiday pies for sale. Thanks to everyone who made the sale a sold-out success.

 Jackie patiently folded and put together 60 plus boxes for the pies!

 Robin has this task down to a science!

Church picnic at the Hall's

 Joan and Bill Hall held a church picnic at their beautiful grounds on August 18, 2007. They have many (I forget the number) acres of hills, meadows and valleys. Beautiful and relaxing as we walked along the trail. This was a pot luck dinner and we never worry about not having enough to eat. Everything was delicious! As the sun set in the west a few of us stayed for a campfire. We inched our chairs closer and closer to the fire because it was quite a cool night! Great fun!

More Renovations of Fellowship Hall

 For over a year we have been renovating our Fellowship Hall. In 1862, 26 years after the current sanctuary was built, this building was built for Sunday school. At that time the sanctuary and the Sunday School (now known as Fellowship Hall) were seperate buildings. In 1957 a new addition was built connecting the two buildings and adding office space and new class rooms.  The interior has been upgraded with new curtains, ceiling fans and painting. Broken window panes have been replaced and the outer windows are repointed. Plexiglas covering has been added to help with heating costs. The congregation voted to side the Fellowship Hall and the connecting building with vinyl siding. At the same time insulation was blown in to decrease the heating costs of the building.

Large double doors with side window panels is removed to improve the energy efficiency.

 Here is the view from outside. The windows above the door were left in place to alow light into the hallway.

 You really have to see this in person to realize how wonderful the new siding looks!

 Once the siding is completed safety lights will be installed by this door and by the handicap parking lot side.
