Join us as we begin a new series, Owned.
We are surrounded by money. While we know that how we manage our money is important, it can be hard to stop acting on our impulses and start making intentional decisions. Join us for a series where we will look at how we save, spend, and give our money so we can start handling our money before it handles us.

Servants At Work (SAWs Ramps) constructs high-quality, wooden ramps for individuals with ambulatory challenges. The ramps are free of charge to the client and built by the loving hands of volunteers.
Tim Thurston as Regional Hub Ops Manager with SAWs Ramps. Tim was introduced to SAWs in 2016 when his late mother dared him to “go build a ramp”. Tim has volunteered as ramp builder, ramp “how-to-build” manual co-writer, and is a former board member. In December 2020, this role opened and, through nudging from his wife, applied and started in January. Tim’s main role at SAWs Ramps is to support ramp-building events throughout the state.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Tapestry Booth at Wine at the Line.
The Reconciliation Ministry Special Offering is received each year in congregations on the last Sunday in September and the first Sunday in October (in solidarity with World Communion Sunday). Funds generated by this special emphasis are used throughout the year to provide grants to ministries and congregations actively developing and implementing programs that promote our Church’s Pro-Reconciliation and Anti-Racist identity. These programs and efforts seek to reveal, re-educate, and remove systemic and structural barriers in our communities that serve to deny the image of God and human thriving based on race.
In Isaiah 56:1 God says “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.”
Your gifts to Reconciliation Ministry empowers our Church’s witness to God’s unfathomable love for all of humanity. With your generosity, leaders, communities, and our congregations are equipped to witness to God’s love and justice in all times and in every season. The time is always ripe to stand up for justice to ensure that all of God’s children are treated equitably. Thank you for joining us on this journey through your generosity.
Under Fund select "Reconciliation"
