Bright Sunday
Written by Administrator
The first Sunday after Easter has traditionally been Bright Sunday or Holy Humor Sunday, and this year it fell on April 15th. Early church theologians (Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa and John Chrysotom) believed that God played a huge cosmic practical joke on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead. They named this joyful crux of our faith Risus paschalis--the Easter laugh.
We observed this happy message by wearing funny hats to the worship service! Additionally, the children were given funny noses-plus-glasses! Jokes were interspersed throughout the service and we were invited by the pastor to toss the occasional bulletin-paper airplane when the Spirit moved us.
Happy Easter!
Silver Lake Conference Center

Silver Lake is a beautiful UCC camp used year-round for special programs for youth and adults. The summer youth sessions are wonderful opportunities for children and young adults to discover their own individual faith beliefs. All three of my children attended for many years, and my son once said, "it's the only place where everyone is nice." Please visit the Silver Lake website to learn more about the opportunities available at this wonderful place.

Fill-up and Fix-up Saturdays
Written by Administrator
Have you ever noticed something in our beloved, old, church building that needs fixing? Well, once a month on the 1st Saturday of the month, Pancake Breakfast day, we gather together and tackle various projects large and small. You can enjoy the pancakes, too, if you like.
There's something for everyone-painting, cleaning, tightening, replacing, refinishing, and repairing. You can be a good steward of our church building and get to know other members by working side-by-side.
The list of fix-up ideas is provided and you can experience the highly-satisfying experience of checking off an item when you're finished!
Strawberry Supper Coming Soon!
