SUMMER SERVICES

During the summer months, from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, we celebrate with one service on Sunday mornings at 10:00.

AN IMMIGRANT WELCOMING CONFERENCE 

A resolution calling on the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ to declare itself to be an Immigrant Welcoming Conference and calling on its Congregations to covenant as Immigrant Welcoming Congregations was overwhelmingly approved at the 55th Annual Meeting of the Conference held, June 9-11, at the Green Lake Conference Center.  As you may recall, our church, along with 81 other churches throughout the Conference, began to study this issue last winter.  We hope to continue the conversation about becoming an Immigrant Welcoming Church this coming fall.

SUMMER CHURCH CAMP AT PILGRIM CENTER AND MOON BEACH

You might be interested to know that a number of kids and adults from our church will be attending summer church camp: Jennifer and Lily Dimmer, Amy, Ella and Simon Gilhooly, Joshua Jacque, Jeanne Mantsch and grandsons Cash and Vegas, Tina and Kylee Olson, and Beckie and Elaina Perez. Have a great time!

MISSED CHURCH?

If you wonder what you missed, copies of last Sunday’s bulletin are always available on the literature rack in the church entryway and CDs of the service are always available in the church office.

GLUTEN FREE COMMUNION

We continue to offer a gluten-free option for receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The gluten-free communion bread is purchased commercially, and prepared separately, so that there is no chance of contact with our regular sourdough communion bread.
