In preparation for this celebration we want to share the stories of Jesus that we have experienced in our lives within this congregation.  You are invited to sign up for a time when you can share your story.  These will be recorded and made available at the Anniversary celebration.  The signup sheet will be posted in the Fellowship Hall, or contact Sam Geyer to make an appointment to share your story.

As we make plans to welcome new pastoral leadership, celebrate with former pastors, we make the beginning steps into the next half century of our congregational life.  We rejoice in God’s presence in the past and celebrate God with us in the present.  We step by faith into the future certain that the one who holds us holds the future. 

God cares for us.  Remember, God is always present, leading us as we go “into the world, sharing with all people the love of God, inviting and welcoming all.”
