Prior to the Souper Bowl Cookoff, we will have board games playing cards available in Barker Hall. We do not have judges for this competition but judge the soups on the number of votes they receive. One vote is $1! This competition can be bought! Following the soup competition there will be a dessert auction! There is also an option of getting a take-out supply of soup and a dessert! Please email or call the church office to sign up for take-out! All proceeds go to the Youth Trips!
2025 July Biennial Mission Summit
What is the Biennial Mission Summit? It is the national gathering of American Baptists from across the US and Puerto Rico held every two years. After being on each coast, this year’s summit is back in the Midwest in Omaha NE from July 3rd – 6th. It is at events like this that the diversity within our denomination can really be appreciated among the Pastors, leaders, and church members in attendance. Activities include large worship services, small group workshops and sessions, an exhibit hall, and business pertaining to American Baptists. Click here to learn more
Through The Bible – Spending Time with Jesus in 2025
The reading schedule is adapted for 2025 from one created by Bob Rognlien*, and is meant to be part of a slow, prayerful devotional every Monday through Saturday. With a daily reading of around 10-15 verses at a time, it is paced to give space to reflect on Jesus’ words and actions and how they connect to our lives today. Click here to learn more
