Local Family Preservation organizations are requesting school supplies for families receiving services. If you would like to donate some items, you can drop off at St. Francis Community Services (423 SE 10th, Newton) or bring to the church by August 11th.

SAVE THE DATE! Pastor Steve’s Ordination Service will be held on August 25th at 5 pm, with a supper following. There are guidelines and requirements that pastors have to meet before being ordained in the Western District Conference, and we are so happy to celebrate this milestone with Pastor Steve and his family! All are welcome to attend and enjoy fellowship during the meal.

It’s Pastor Steve’s Birthday! Send him some birthday wishes! 🎂 🥓

We will be collecting supplies for School Kits again this year. The supplies can be brought anytime on or before Christian Ed Sunday in September.

It’s First Camp Week and these kids were so ready to get it started! Pray that they have a fun and safe couple of days at Camp Mennoscah.

What a treat it was to have Gabriel’s Trumpets with us for Bethel College Sunday. Kyle and Braden Unruh did a fantastic job with the Children’s Story, and Brad Kohlman’s message on faith formation was excellent.

A broken heater won’t stop the service! Our Worship Service moved to Stauffer Hall and was a great change in routine. The old pump organ (and Kent) got a work out, and the choir did a great job adding to our 5th Sunday music. Thanks for all the flexibility this morning!
