Turkey Stew Success!
Thank you to all who participated in selling and buying raffle tickets! For a list of winners, please contact the Church Secretary.
Thank you to all those folks who came out to slice and dice in preparation of stew making, those who braved the cold temperatures of Sunday morning to cook, those who served the stew and baked cornbread and goodies, and those who stayed to help with the clean-up!
Good luck to Pastor Cindy and Ruben!
With a mixture of emotions ( happy for them, sad for us) we bid a fond farewell to Pastor Cindy and Ruben as they continue to follow God’s calling for them.
Sunday School and worship services will continue with supply pastors filling our congregational needs at this time. Please refer to the newsletter for additional information. Please contact Donna for pastoral care information.

Church renovations have begun! Roof cleaning, trim and steeple painting, and outside gutter replacement have all been completed. On Dec 29th, we “cleaned out the sanctuary in preparation for inside demo and window replacements. New clear paned windows have been installed. Electrical work continues as ceiling lighting and switches are placed in the church. The Sacristy has been completed gutted and new sheet rock has been installed. Our front entry doors have been refinished.
Worship Services will be held in the Parish Hall.
A Bit of Church Renovation History …
On Nov 3, there was a general informational meeting regarding repairs/ renovations to the Sanctuary. This meeting was designed to inform the congregation prior to the vote on Nov 10th. Repairs to the sanctuary, especially the updating of the electrical portion of the renovations are higher than originally anticipated earlier in the summers. The building committee provided a general overview of the suggested projects with more up to date cost.
On Nov 10th, the congregation voted to proceed with the sanctuary updates and voted on the financial support of the renovations. If you wish to contribute to the renovations, please contact Troy or Donna.
During the week of November 25th, renovations began with the washing of the sanctuary roof and removal of the gutters.
On Sunday, December 29th,following a brief worship service, the congregation cleared the sanctuary in preparation of interior renovations.
Worship services will be held in the Parish Hall during the interior renovations.

Blessing Box
A Blessing Box has been placed outside the White Horse Tavern in Burton. The purpose of the box is to provide anyone in need with food. The food might provide some relief so that utilities bills or rent can be paid! Summer is a particular hard time for kids since many rely on daily meals provided through the schools. Consider donating easy to open items for children, dried goods, or canned goods, or easy to prepare items that can survive the summer heat for the Blessing Box.
These items can be placed in the narthex of the church or directly in the Blessing Box.
Christ in Our Home
Daily devotions are available in the church’s narthex.
