Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Book Group ~ Saturday at 10 AM Book Group @Tub Mill Creek “Mere Christianity”, by C.S. Lewis.

Adult Christian Education ~ Sunday 9:15 AM: “Reflections on the Psalms” by C.S. Lewis.

Kids Sunday School Update

Our fall Sunday school year is off and running! We're learning the story of salvation, starting with Creation and the Old Testament. Soon it will be Christmas, and then comes all of the New Testament stories about Jesus. The same God who created the world, led his people out of slavery in Egypt, and sent his Son to save us, loves each child, too.

Many thanks to the volunteers who have made this possible and to those who have donated craft supplies. The kids really love working on art projects, especially models of whatever we learned about that day, from the 10 Commandments to the Tabernacle and more. All are welcome to join at 9:15am, starting with music in the sanctuary and then moving to the classroom for the lesson.
