Looking Toward Sunday…
Do you ever have trouble falling asleep? So did Samuel and his mentor Eli… Join me in worship as we explore just who was keeping the two of them awake in the middle of the night and why as we hear “The Call of Samuel” in 1 Samuel 3: 1-20. We will also celebrate Graduation and recognize Holt Biesecker upon his graduation from High School.
At 9:45am we hold our final Discussion Class on the series about the UCC. This topic is the UCC: A Church of “Firsts.” The UCC has been first in a variety of justice movements since the 1600’s. We are proud to carry out this identity today.
Also, please make sure you read through our June Newsletter. Carolyn Robbins does a fantastic job of weaving together the articles, announcements, and calendar events we submit to her. Thanks Carolyn for helping us keep up with upcoming events, mission opportunities, church news!

“WORSHIP 101: VBS – It’s not just for kids anymore!” - BE A PART OF DISCOVER PROGRAM AT NO COST
DISCOVER is a program that challenges formative middle and high school youth with careful theological and moral reflection prior to college life. In the midst of theological reflection and activity, students will have the opportunity to discover God in new ways, especially as incarnational and interactive; discover who they are as children of God; discover how to live out their faith; and discover what they are called to do vocationally.
