THE END OF THE PROGRAM YEAR
We celebrate the last Family Service of the program year this coming Sunday, May 19, at 10:00. The service includes the participation of our 8th Grade Confirmation Class and the Carol, Chapel and Chancel Choirs.
SPRING CONGREGATIONAL MEETING – MAY 19
Our annual Spring Congregational Meeting has been scheduled for this coming Sunday morning, May 19, immediately following the 10:00 service. There are three important items of business: a review of our 2019 Church Budget, both income and expenses, the election of Church Council Officers and Team Representatives, and a Search Committee update.
SUMMER SERVICES AT 9:00!
The Church Council recently decided to move our Summer Services to 9:00. We changed the services to 10:00, a couple of years ago, because the Shared Ride Taxi did not begin service until 9:00 on Sunday mornings. They now begin providing rides at 8:00 a.m. Summer Services start on Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, May 26, and continue through Labor Day weekend.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the entire convention, including providing housing for delegates coming from other parts of the country.

LIGHTHOUSE YOUTH MINISTRY
Our church partnered with four other churches in Port Washington and Saukville to form the Lighthouse Youth Ministry. Please check out Lighthouse - Port Washington Saukville Ecumenical Youth Ministry on Facebook to learn more about the group. Click here to view a short video that was shown at the Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Conference UCC at the beginning of April.
NURSERY
Every Sunday morning during the 10:00 service we provide a nursery for children newborn through 4-years-old. Care is provided by our 8th grade Confirmation students and their families. Parents are required to register their children, and to sign their children in and out of the nursery. We want to do our very best to make the nursery safe and secure.
WEDNESDAY LUNCH AT CHURCH
Every Wednesday at Noon, you are invited to meet Jeff at church for lunch and Bible study. The group always takes time to visit before reflecting upon the lectionary reading for the upcoming Sunday. Coffee is provided, but please bring your own lunch. The Last Lunch of the program year is Wednesday, May 22.
MEN’S BREAKFAST
Men in the church are invited to gather for breakfast every Thursday morning, at 8:00, at the Dockside Deli in Port Washington.
