This Sunday we begin a sermon series on the book of Micah that will take us from October 5 through November 23. Micah opens with a picture of God descending in power. Shaking mountains and melting valleys. But behind this dramatic imagery lies a God who is grieving. The prophet shows us that God’s judgement is not fueled by anger alone, but by sorrow over how injustice and idolatry distort community and wound creation. God mourns with us, and God’s broken heart reveals both the seriousness of sin and the depth of divine love. We hope that you will join us in person or online.

The Growth Committee has selected the date for our annual Fall Festival for Saturday, October 25th from 2 - 4 pm. We are looking forward to hosting this successful community event again this year. There will be games, prizes and food. Costumes are welcome. We look forward to seeing you again!!

The WAPC Green Team has recently published a new recipe book, Book of Uncommon (Vegetarian) Recipes and they are selling like hotcakes. This new book focuses on both vegan and vegetarian recipes. The rationale for this book is that eating less meat is better for the environment, our health, and the animal kingdom. You may note that there are no recipes with marshmallows or gelatin in our cookbook, maybe a first for a church cookbook of this nature. Copies of our book are on sale through the church office for $10 apiece. So give us a call or stop by for your copy.
