Lenten Grief Circle
Monday, April 14, 5:30 pm, Chapel
Walking through the wilderness of lent can bring emotions that are sometimes difficult to process in our fast paced, sometimes-afraid-to-feel society.
If you’re needing a safe space to mindfully walk through the transformative journey from loss to new life, join certified yoga therapist, Erin Alexander, during this transformative gathering.
Bring whatever loss or grief you carry be it personal, global, the loss of a pet or a relationship or even a certain phase of life that is ending and transforming.
We’ll spend time discussing grief as an intimate path to knowing God and engage in gentle writing and movement practices to support you in healing, feeling, and learning to let go into the arms of Divine Grace.
Gather with us Monday, April 14th from 5:30-6:30p in the Chapel and connect with Erin with any questions.

150th Celebration
Sunday, May 4
150 YEARS OF FAITH IN ACTION
Mark your calendars, for Sunday, May 4, 2025, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of our wonderful church. This date was chosen as it is the Sunday before the actual day of the dedication of the original church on May 5, 1875. The theme of our anniversary celebration is “150 Years of Faith in Action.” The special day will start with a historical “sermon of the ages” by Pastor Dan, followed by lunch in Overmiller Hall. Directly after the meal, there will be a program highlighting the history of our church. You will be greeted by members
adorned in attire of the century and a half. A week before the event you will have the opportunity to browse display tables in Overmiller Hall of interesting historical documents and pictures from the past.
If you would like to attend the luncheon, please be sure to RSVP to Jackie Finlay (finleyjacqueline@gmail.com) by April 27. Be sure to indicate whether you would like the chicken breast or a vegetarian selection. If you have any dietary needs, i.e., gluten or lactose intolerant, please add that to your RSVP.
