Summer Campfire: Sunday, June 8th @ 6PM at the Maust's Sandhill. Join us and invite your friends!


VBS is June 9-13 from 9-11:30am


Summer Sunday School helpers are needed to assist the leader. Both for toddler age children and K- 5th grade. If you are able to help a week or two it is greatly appreciated. Please contact Jenna Maust when you are able to serve our children this summer.


The adults will have an option for further discussion and sermon reflection taught by Pastor Dave. “In the Gospels Jesus asks 307 questions. By contrast, He is only asked 183 questions. Most striking of all, Jesus gives direct answers to only eight of those 183 questions he is asked. It seems clear that Jesus prefers to be the one asking the questions. In fact, Jesus is more than forty times more likely to ask a question than to answer one directly.”[1] What might we learn from studying Jesus’ questions? How might Jesus’ approach invite us to engage our faith with fresh perspective? These are the questions we will wrestle with in our summer sermon and Sunday school series… “Faith in Jeopardy.”

Vacation Bible School registration is stil open. Parents, please save a spot for your kids today! Please invite and encourage your children's friends from school to participate again this year. We want to share the hope of Christ with all!


Youth Mission Trip The youth group Summer mission trip is being planned for June 17-19. And we could use your help. If You’re interested in going, youth, family, or congregation members, let Pastor Bill know by Sunday June 8th . Sooner than that is appreciated however, as background checks will need to be performed on adults and waiver forms distributed to students and

received back. We will be clearing trails, so there will be need for adults to operate chainsaws and a woodchipper. There will also be need for ATV’s, pickups, skid steers and the like to help tie onto downed trees and drag them from the woods to be processed for firewood and trail mulch. If you have questions feel free to contact Pastor Bill.


Consider attending the Multiply event, a conference wide gathering of Rosedale Network of Churches in southern Indiana from July 25-27th.


Save the Date: July 15, 16 or 17 for pastie making in Fairview for the Relief Sale. Contact Emily if interested.


Pastor Dave & Beth will be away June 7-15 on a cruise to celebrate their 25th anniversary. As such he will not be available for pastoral emergencies during that time. Should you be in need during that time, please contact Pastor Bill, Marie, or a member of the pastoral care team.
