Kingdom Kids, our children’s ministry for grades K-5, is held after the communion service, just before the morning message.

Our love and sympathy go out to the family of Ernestine Summerford. A member of our church since 1950, Ernestine will be remembered as a faithful Christian woman whose life reflected her trust in God and her devotion to both family and church.

If you would like to help with constructing a float for the Railroad Days parade on September 6th, please see Terry Harmon or Danielle Theunissen.

September Food Pantry Items: Canned Fruit (You may choose to bring whatever you wish for the local food pantry. Our list contains suggestions for items that are requested or considered especially helpful.)

Quilt Circle: All ladies are welcome, and no sewing experience is needed. A huge thanks to those who have provided such generous donations. Your gifts are being used to bless others in His name. For questions, see the sign-up sheet in the foyer. The Quilt Circle meets twice a month (on Wednesday) in room 200.

Prayer Chain: We have a new prayer chain/notification service.

This service works only with cell phone numbers, and only by text. When you receive a text from the church, please do not reply to it. We must pay for all texts sent, even those which reply to our messages.

Our September fellowship meal is on September 7th. The church will provide the fried chicken. We ask that you bring sides and desserts to complete the meal. Everyone is invited to enjoy good food and fellowship!

Crocker’s annual celebration, “Railroad Days”, will be held on September 5th and 6th. We would like to enter a float in the parade. If you would be willing to lead the building of a float, please contact Terry or the church office.

Our Wednesday night meals will resume for the school year on September 10. We need people who are willing to help with providing or cooking these meals. If you can help by providing or cooking a meal at any time, please sign up in the foyer. We also need people to provide desserts for the meals. If you can provide dessert for a certain night or nights, there is also a sign-up sheet for desserts on the table in the foyer. The meal is from 5:30 to 6:15.
