 Lenten Monday Study

Lenten Monday Study

Lenten Sermon Series and Study: The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin with Mark A. Miller.  The 40 days leading up to Easter are, traditionally, a time to prepare our hearts and lives for the resurrection as we focus on the difficulty and sacrifice involved in following Jesus.  Yet, we often spend little time contemplating how Jesus’ resurrection transformed the lives of his first followers and brings the joy of new life for us all.  That 3rd Day changed everything!  Join us during the season of Lent, as we consider the impact of the Resurrection, “the beginning of all of our stories and the day when hope broke through so many forms of darkness that attempt to cloak our lives.”  Studies will be on Monday evenings (March 3-April 7) at 7 pm on Zoom and on Wednesday mornings (March 5-April 9) at 10 am in MPR. Books are available in the church office for $16.00, or you can purchase the book or eBook online at Amazon.  You can sign up using the connection card or click here.

TP Challenge!

TP Challenge! During the Lenten beginning Wednesday, March 5, we will have a toilet paper collection competition between worship services. The 8:00 and 11:00 am services will be competing with the 9:30 am service to see who can bring in more rolls of toilet paper. Toilet paper is always needed at our partner pantries because individuals cannot use money from government assistance programs to purchase it. We will be donating the rolls to GRIN. Please bring your donations to the Welcome area and place them in the box labeled with your regular service time! The deadline to participate is Sunday, April 13.

Prime Timer Bus Trip

Prime Timer bus trip  You are invited to join a group of adventurers to travel to Sugarcreek, Ohio, for a full day of activities.  On Thursday, May 15 we will ride a bus to Amish country for a delicious lunch and a musical show in the Ohio Star Theater. The Road To Damascus tells the transformative story of Saul, later known as Paul, whose journey from a zealous persecutor of Christians to a devoted follower of Christ offers a powerful narrative of redemption, faith, and inner conflict.  The stage will be filled with music, dancing, and animals.  Those who went to last year's performance of Ruth will agree it's a unique experience.  The trip is not limited to Stonybrook members; you're welcome to invite friends.  We leave at 8:30 am and return at 5 pm.  There is a minimum amount of walking involved and there will be time for shopping.  Cost is $105 per person, and will be due after we determine if there are enough sign-ups.  Click here to fill out the online form. The deadline to sign up is Sunday, April 13. If you have questions, contact Bill Bartter (wbartter@att.net).

Midwest Mission trip, August 24 - 30, 2025. There will be an orientation meeting for a mission trip to the Midwest Mission warehouse in Springfield, IL on Sunday, January 26 at 1:00 pm. Midwest Mission sends tangible resources to those in need to make an intangible difference in their lives through hope and empowerment. Tangible gifts of soap, detergent, gloves, deodorant, sleeping mats, plastic garbage bags, plus so much more are turned into gifts of hope for people in the United States and across the world.  Midwest Mission refurbishes bicycles, cleans old sewing machines, creates desks from recycled wooded bleachers, prepares cleaning buckets, hygiene kits, birthing kits, and more! Volunteers process, revitalize, and assemble all the donations, mostly from North Central Jurisdiction (Midwest states) individuals and individual churches. There is work for everyone of every skill level and seated work is available for those who need it. If you have wanted to go on a trip, but are not up for the construction, this is a fantastic way to offer hope to those who are in need during crises and those lacking simple resources that could improve their circumstances. Pastor Lauren will be leading a group to Springfield, IL, August 24 – 30, 2025.
