On Sunday, we heard Judy preach about the “Chasm”. I was very moved by this sermon. When she put forth the idea that we are manifesting hell itself on earth, I started to weep because, many times, that is what it feels like. We often talk about how divided we are as a...
In my devotion on Thursday, I spoke about the tension we have chosen to live in as a church, and the tension we are called to live in as Christians related to resources, work, and charity. There is a flip side to living with this tension. A simple demonstration would...
I have mentioned it before, but I grew up on a farm in a rural community north of Purdue University in Indiana. The town is called Brookston. Our first stop light came to the town when I was in high school. It was a big deal! It is important to underscore that I was...

On Sunday, January 19 and Monday, January 20, Children’s and Youth Ministries will host the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Community Food and Household Essentials Drive. The MLK Day of Service is an annual event held nationally to encourage communities to take action and build the beloved community MLK spoke of.
All are invited to get involved by dropping off donations in the Lobby at church on Sunday, January 19, before or after worship or by participating in the drive-through community drive on Monday, January 20, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Walk-up donations are welcome and we’ll have volunteers available to help unload donations. We hope you can participate! All donations will go to local pantries.
When deciding what to donate, here are some helpful hints:
Household items such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent are not eligible for purchase with a Link card
Consider pop-top lids – sometimes people do not have a can opener
Olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and other spices can transform a meal
Remember items like Hamburger Helper are only good if you have ground beef
Baking mixes that require only water are good
Coffee is a luxury
Sugar and flour are always needed
Kraft Mac and Cheese requires milk and butter – consider Velveeta that comes with the sauce
Questions about MLK Day, contact Rev. Rebekah Anderson.
