A Word from the Pastor

Dear Friends,

Today is “Celebrate the New York Conference of the UCC” day! We have a special dialog sermon that Steve and I have prepared and there are litanies found in your bulletin. We are blessed to have such a wonderful denomination, and such a faithful conference and association. Join us for the big party in the fellowship after the service!

Grace and Peace this week ahead, Pastor Deborah


September Mission is Livonia Food Pantry!

Livonia Parish Pantry Update...what a difference the food cupboard will be enjoying! So far you have filled 4 grocery carts with non perishable and cleaning supplies.  We're going for full Grocery Cart #5 today! You also have contributed $461.30 so far to help with the purchase of dairy, meat and eggs, and several people have volunteered to help with the packing/ delivering of food to people in need. Volunteers also needed!!

Did you know? 10.5% of New York households have lower quality diets or must resort to emergency food because they cannot always afford the food they need.


"Bargain" & Bake Sale

As usual we can use all available help to help set-up for our famous "Bargain" & Bake Sale! Bring a dish to pass & enjoy our luncheon as we take a break from the work. We will be setting up from 10 am to

2 pm Monday thru Thursday, this week, and Tuesday evening from 7 to 8:30 pm. Let Mary Lou Spencer know if you can make any goodies for the bake sale.


Social Hour Hosts are needed!

The sign-up list to host Social Hour following worship each Sunday is posted on the hallway bulletin board. Please help keep our weekly tradition going! It's easy to do, especially if you team up with another person/couple.  For healthy snacks (like fruit and vegetables), we still have money from a Noyes grant for reimbursement.  If you have questions, please see Rhonda Wert.
