Sunday, September 8th is National Grandparent Day. Thanks to all the grandparents that help share the faith with their grandchildren. Here are a couple resources from Faith Forward. The first is for Grandparents to help foster faith conversations with a grandchild. The second is for a grandchild to give to a grandparent.

Please worship with us this Sunday (and every Sunday) at 9:30 AM. This week we study the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes in John 6. As part of the children’s message I am inviting everyone to bring a food item or paper product (or bring 2-3). A list of the most needed items is placed on our website each month (see below). Thanks for your help! Items will go to the West Branch Community Food Pantry located at the old middle school.

Click here to see a video created by Courtney Heid and shown to the kiddos and parents on the final night of VBS. Thanks to all the pictures taken by many over the week.

We are so ready to start the party and celebrate the good news; however, with the high probability of severe storms this afternoon and into the evening, we have cancelled VBS tonight. VBS will now be held Tuesday-Friday. Thank you for understanding. Please contact the church (319) 643-5998 with any questions.
