Hey Everyone,
Happy Friday! It’s hard to believe that we’re almost half way through our hiker season, which means the hiker bubble is on its way. If you don’t know what that means, practically… we’re going to have a lot of hikers the next two weeks. With that in mind, consider how you might plug into what’s going on in the life of our community.
Hiker Evening Prayers
Tomorrow night, Saturday July 27th, we’ll gather together for our Hiker Evening Prayers in the Trail Hiker Center at 8:00pm. Our evening prayers last around 45 minutes and utilize the Chants of Taizé. It’s a great way to prepare yourself for our Lord’s Day gathering on Sunday.
Sunday Worship
This Sunday, July, 28th, we’ll hold worship outside in the yard at 10:00am. This Sunday will be a special service in the life of our church. We’ll be exploring the popular hymn–Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing. We’ll also be ordaining and installing our Class of 2027 elders, Tom Arnold and Marcia Connell. And, if that wasn’t enough, we’ll also be celebrating the Eucharist, so if you’re joining us via Zoom, please bring the communion elements to the broadcast.
We Need Cookies!
That’s right, it’s that time again. We’re having a cookie drive for our fellowship time after Sunday worship services. Consider baking a couple dozen cookies and putting them in freezer bags and placing them in the Darley Hall freezer. From this supply, we offer cookies and coffee for fellowship every Sunday.
Trail Hiker Meal
We’ll also be holding our 4th Trail Hiker Meal of the season this Sunday evening from 5:30pm until 7:00pm at the Trail Hiker Center. This week’s theme is “Breakfast” (or by extension Brunch as well). So break out your favorite first-meal-of-the-day recipes and join us for this community event. For the entree this week, we’ll be serving “breakfast dogs”–sausage links, scrambled eggs, and a special blend of cheese all delivered into your mouth via a hotdog bun. There will be something tasty (and a little spicy) in the fountain this week to amp up your breakfast dog to another level.
Monday Games
We’re playing games on Monday night, July 29th at the Trail Hiker Center at 7:00pm. Last week we had 10 hikers join us. It’s a great time to fellowship with our community and mingle with some of our hikers. No experience necessary and all are welcomed.
Wednesday Bible Study
This week’s Wednesday Bible Study will focus on the both the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation and the Lutheran tradition. Join us at 5:00pm on Wednesday, July 31st in the Presbyterian Annex/Trail Hiker Center as we continue on this denominational exploration. All past sessions are located on our YouTube page which can be accessed through the worship and Bible study menu link above.
