NEWS & EVENTS

Sundays begin with Sunday School from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. This Sunday, January 19, Marian Dyer will be the teacher. Her subject is Love, Hate, and Prophet. The frist times these words appear in the Bible.

Worship begins at 10:45 a.m.  You can access a livestream of the service by clicking the link above, or at the YouTube page. A video of each Sunday’s worship service will remain accessible on the church website throughout the week. Feel free to contact the church office for more details. (due to technical difficulties, there was no livestream of Sundays, January 5 and 12, 2025 worship service) We would delight in having you join us in-person!

Sunday, January 19, Ruskin’s sermon text will be Mathew 3:1-17.

The hymns for this Sunday are #395, “Blessed Jesus, at Your Word,” and #69, “I, the Lord of Sea and Sky (Here I Am, Lord).”

The sack-lunch gathering of the Cinephiles, a cinema-loving group, will be meeting in the Adult Sunday school classroom on Thursday, January 16 from 11:00a.m. to 1:00p.m. They will be watching One Life. This is a 2023 biographical drama film directed by James Hawes. Based on the true story of British humanitarian Nicholas Winton, the film alternates between following Anthony Hopkins as a 79-year old Winton reminiscing on his past, and Johnny Flynn as a 29-year old Winton who successfully helps 669 predominantly Jewish children in German-occupied Czechoslovakia to hide and flee in 1938–39, just before the beginning of World War II. Bring your lunch and join in the fun, all are welcome.

In October 2021, Ruskin published a book of sermons entitled, Metanoia and Other Sermons. The book can be ordered through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Wordsworth. You can find more information about the book at this link: Metanoia and Other Sermons

Unless otherwise designated, money given to our church is placed in what we call the General Fund, through which we cover our regular operating and mission expenses. We also have two special funds through which we fund our work. They are: the Audie Lee Jones Ministry Fund, for helping people in financial crisis toward courage, hope, and new opportunity; and the Building Fund, for tending to our building, grounds, and furnishings beyond regular upkeep and maintenance. To donate to these special funds, simply note on your check or envelope the fund you are giving to or you can donate through our website (click the “Donations” button).
