For our families with children
If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.
On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.
Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.
Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.
Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

Secret Sisters: Christmas Edition
Calling all ladies! Would you like to participate in a fun way to stay connected during the holiday season?
We will draw names next Sunday, November 16, after service in the prayer room. If you can’t be there and would like to participate, contact Haley Senatus.
We will exchange white elephant /gently used gifts on 11/23, 11/30 and 12/7. There will be a “reveal” party on December 14 at 5:00pm in the family center. Everyone will bring a finger food to share and a $20 gift for their secret sister!
Haley will explain more details at the meeting. Come join the fun!
Community Help Needed
Our community needs your help! The government shutdown means that some people may struggle to feed their family. As Christians and the church, we can help provide some assistance to those who provide food to those most affected.
HOW CAN WE HELP??
We can collect nonperishable items or cash to help ease the difficulty many are facing.
If you would like to help, bring your nonperishable items to church and place them in the marked container in the foyer or place your cash in the “cash donation” container. The money will be used to buy perishable items such as eggs and milk.
If you have questions, see or call Cindy (812-691-1924) or Bill (574-249-1775) Stearns.
Veteran’s Day
Thank you for your courage, dedication, and hard work. And thanks to the military families for their support, resilience, and sacrifice.
