Outreach continues to focus on providing school supplies to children attending Rosa Parks Elementary School as school doors will again be opening in just a few weeks. Please make donations of school supplies: pencils, rulers, paper, crayons, glue, etc., we have found there is always a need for tissues and hand sanitizers. For many children at Rosa Parks Elementary this is the only way they have the supplies they need. So, please give generously. Thank you!

Disciple History Class
April 17, 2014 By
Beginning Sunday, April 27 we are offering a new adult Christian Education class following worship focusing on our Disciple History. We will explore the Stone-Campbell movement on the frontier and who we are as Disciples today. We will be using the curriculum Leaders and Legends: A Study of Stone-Campbell History & Beliefs written by the Disciples Historical Society. Leaders within our congregation will guide us through the study. This class is perfect for those who have recently become a part of our church community and those who have been around awhile. No matter who you are this is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of who we are as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).Outreach February Collection
