You know all those soda/seltzer/beer can pull tabs our members and visitors drop in the big jar in the fellowship space? When the jar fills, Joan Solar empties it into a bag and adds that to the collection of other bags-full of tabs she has taken home. When the accumulated aluminum starts to interfere with the WiFi* in her house, she delivers the entire collection to the Ronald McDonald House - which recycles pull tabs for money to support its programs. This weekend, Joan and her family delivered 31.6 pounds of pull tabs to the Ronald McDonald House! (One pound is approximately 1000 tabs. People! That's 31,600 beverage cans' worth of pull tabs!🤯)
(*I might be exaggerating this WiFi claim. - Pastor)

We’ll share some additional photos soon! What a great morning! We raised nearly $800 for Torchlight Youth Mentoring Alliance, and enjoyed worship music and a concert by the amazing Chardon Polka Band! Thank you, everyone, for making this year’s polka worship fun and festive!

Our original blessing box gets so many visits, we are expanding! Thank you, Paul Weaver, for building a new, larger box, and upgrading the original. Thank you, Stephanie Braford, for decorating it! The new box will have shelf stable food items for those in need. The original will offer personal care products and books. We’ll bless these boxes Sunday right after worship!

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has issued his first in a series of monthly messages that will continue through the end of this year under the title "All Together in One Place."

Each message will share a pastoral word, rooted in Scripture, that witnesses to God’s presence today, our rich theological tradition and the social teaching that connects us.
