Join Pastor Dan in the DeWolf Room as it is transformed into a cozy chapel for a Sunday Evening Meditative Service. Each Sunday at dusk. (Times will vary with the setting sun – see the schedule) The chapel will be open 1/2 hour before the service begins for quiet meditation. Relaxing music will be in the background and devotional materials will be available to you.
This service is a perfect end to the week or the beginning of a new one.
The service lasts about 15 minutes.

Humanity is endlessly fascinated with certain fundamental questions. And perhaps its by struggling with the mystery of these questions that we shape a life that becomes part of the answer. This Lent lets live with those questions as we journey toward the answer that is Easter.
The 30 Minute Bible Study will address the 4 Eternal Questions of our faith. All studies will meet right after the main service on Sunday in our beautiful sanctuary. No homework needed. Come as you are!
March 7 – DOES GOD EXIST?
March 14 - WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?
March 21 – IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH?

The Church Office will be closed today, Wed, Feb. 10. Let it snow……
We cannot help but note the individuals from the Midwest Baptist Church who got into serious trouble around their working with orphans. It reminds us how seriously we take our role in doing mission work in Third World countries. One of the key foundations of the work we do through with our Haitian task force and wider church ministries is to do work under the laws, advice and guidance of local people. We are there as their servants, not there to bring our culture’s norms and expectations, but to work with and respect theirs. We do our work on the basis of invitation and respect for those who have asked us to work among them.
Please continue to find ways to help support both our Haitian task force and UCC Wider Church Ministries, (One Great Hour of Sharing) by designating your gifts to either one or both by name.
Members of the task force will be returning this week and will be sharing with us the opportunities for mission they have discerned from their trip.
