Nursery School is settling in and finding a nice rhythm. The children have begun to know their routines and the flow of the school day. October typically is a great month.

Reflections by Rev. Dan Bogre
I am celebrating that this is the church God has called us to be, and the church we are in so many different ways.

A big thanks to Jason Kraft, Summer Sprout, Backyard Missions team, Next Steps Ministries, Captain Dan McNelly from Fire Station 23, Cahoon Nursery, and the Parrs.
August is National Make-A-Will Month
It is the perfect time to be reminded of the importance of creating or updating your last will and testament (will).
