If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them. Join us as we resume our study through the Book of Genesis this Fall at Harvest.

Our small, coastal retreats are designed to create space for learning, connection, and encouragement in a peaceful, homelike setting. With our groups limited to 12 or fewer women, each retreat offers women an opportunity to step away from daily demands and experience meaningful fellowship, guided teaching, and unhurried conversations.

This fall our focus is on creating connections through sharing stories, building community, and growing together as women of faith. Come connect with us at the coast and experience the joy of community.

It’s important for us to have places to talk with one another about how to live as Christians in our world. Let’s Talk! is just such a place. Our goal is to bring a Biblical perspective to the questions and issues that are on our minds. We’ll start with questions related to the Sunday sermon text and then open our time up to address any other issues on your minds. Bring your questions, and let’s talk!

The elders propose the following change to Article 2, Section B of our Constitution & Bylaws, concerning the office of Elder:
Current wording: The ratio of Lay Elders to Staff Pastors must not be less than 2:1. In the event the ratio falls below 2:1, the Lay Elders may appoint a former Lay Elder who is currently a member in good standing to fill the position, until a new Lay Elder is selected as specified in Section C below.
Proposed new wording: The ratio of Lay Elders to Staff Pastors must be a simple majority. In the event the ratio falls below a simple majority, the Lay Elders may appoint a former Lay Elder who is currently a member in good standing to fill the position, until a new Lay Elder is selected as specified in Section C below.

Since this motion concerns a change to one of our Core Documents, a congregational vote on the motion will take place at the next Members’ Meeting on November 15, 2026. The Elders welcome questions and feedback in the meantime.
