** 1st Wednesday Kids Club has likely run its course. With most of our teachers and helpers not getting any younger, we simply do not feel that we can provide adequate care for our kids. We do encourage you to sign up through the United Way to be a lunch buddy! If they get enough help they will be able to cover 3rd and 2nd graders! You can reach out to Melody Couchman from the Logan County United Way at [email protected]. There will be an orientation on Tuesday, September 19 and begin in October, but you will need to get a background check prior to September 19. 

** Light Hours has been a great resource for our college age young people. They will be meeting again soon. They are looking for a way to help our church and are going to be starting a fundraiser to help us get new chairs in our fellowship / gathering area!

** Logan County Youth Worship Night is being planned for September 10th at Indian Lake High School.
