TRUSTEES

 

Carpets cleaned - As we told you last month, we scheduled ALL-Pro to clean the carpets in August. Our former carpet cleaner, Brad Patch, served us very well for many years decided to retire. All-Pro sent us two representatives that cleaned the carpets in one day. So far, the feedback has been good, and we look forward to working with them in the future.

Heating Zones conservation – during the winter months we use environmental controls and isolation to manage our heating systems for the best comfort and economy. Please keep the following doors closed while the building is not in use: McLean Hall divider, downstairs and upstairs classrooms main doors, the office door, the multipurpose room door, and the sanctuary doors. If EACH area is tempered differently, not following the signs and procedures can be costly. If you’re in charge of a Bible study, or event please make a point to close the appropriate doors when finished. Also, of you use the kitchen please be sure to turn off the oven, dishwasher, and the exhaust fan if used. We appreciate your help and if you have any questions, please reach out.

Trustee workday –Saturday, October 31we will be asking the congregation to jump in and help prepare the building for the winter months.

We hope to complete some preventative stonework, drainage work and exterior painting. If you feel compelled to jump in and lend a hand, please contact Joe or myself. If you see something you think needs attention let a trustee know. The trustees are Brian Burch, Mark Boyce, Jim Stott, Duane Flower, Scott Lufkin, Guy Wilson, and Co-chairs Joe Lohret and Lou Hoffis.

SESSION RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS - APRIL 2026

  Shepherds & Servants: How Christ Orders His Church At our February Session meeting we revisited Scripture’s teaching on the two biblical offices— Elders and Deacons —and why they matter for the health of our church. Elders are called to spiritual oversight: prayer, teaching, and shepherding the flock with character and maturity. Deacons lead us in practical mercy: meeting needs with hands‑on care and encouraging generous service. Together, these roles help us follow Jesus with both wisdom and compassion . We also celebrated a joyful moment: Session approved believers’ baptism for Sam and Jonah Seeger . Please join us in praying for them as they publicly profess faith in Christ and for all who are exploring the gospel in this season. Two simple ways to help the body right now: we’re praying for a Children’s Ministry Coordinator and a few additions to the music team (a drummer and a bass guitarist would be a gift). If the Lord is nudging you—or if you’d like to learn...

Session Highlights - June 2026

  When we gathered as a session at the end of April, we began with prayer and spent time reflecting on what it looks like to be a healthy church. In our study of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship , the authors keep emphasizing: if a church is going to be a place where people can be honest about their lives, that kind of vulnerability has to be modeled by its leaders. It isn’t something we can ask for if we aren’t willing to live it ourselves. We then moved into the sanctuary and took time to pray. We walked through the room, pausing in different places and praying for people where they sit each Sunday. For me, that was a needed moment. I realized I mostly sit in the front corner. And while I recognize faces and I know names, I don’t always know which names belong to which faces—especially those behind me. In that moment, I was able to more effectively pray for those who sit in proximity to where I normally sit. It was a simple reminder that being the church means we move toward ...

Session April 2024

At our February Session meeting we opened our time reading from Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, chapter 5. We discussed what it means to give people the freedom to say ‘no’ to a ministry, how to model and teach healthy boundaries to our congregation, and were reminded that we have limits in our work at the church. Did you know that we dedicate time at each meeting to pray for you? We prayed specifically for many who are going through treatments, surgeries or just struggling. We spent time discussing what we would like to see happen in our church in 2024. What sermon series we would like to hear, changes to worship and changes to both adult and children’s Sunday School. If you have ideas, please talk to a session member about it. For the session, Karen Lohret
