Wednesday Women’s Doctrine Study begins September 21. This year we will be focusing on Christianity & Culture. In the Fall we will be reading Strange New World by Carl Trueman. This Spring we will be reading Making Faith Magnetic by Daniel Strange.

Join us for book discussion, testimony panels, guest speakers, wonderful fellowship, and great food! Childcare is provided and homeschool classes will be offered. Registration open through the end of August. More detailed information and registration is available by clicking the button below.

Join us for an evening of dessert, fellowship, and a kick-off for the upcoming year on Wednesday, August 17 at 7:00 p.m. at URC. Please RSVP here.

The Diaconate is launching Summer Serve 2022 at the request of our pastors. We are encouraging each family or individual at URC to WATCH, PRAY, and ACT.  WATCH (look for an individual or family in need), PRAY (ask the Lord for wisdom on how to proceed) and then ACT (take initiative and “just do something”). Consider serving a need that has an internal (URC) focus as well as an external (outside of URC) focus.

For more information, examples, and a survey form:

Join us for a casual pizza dinner Sunday evening, July 3 following the prayer meeting for a chance to fellowship with Confex Makhalira, founder of MRN, while he is in the States.

DIG kids are invited to join us for a fun-filled day at Michigan’s Adventure in Muskegon, MI, on Wednesday, June 29th. We will leave from URC at 10:00 a.m. and return around 10:00 p.m. The cost is $60/person which includes a ticket, lunch, dinner, and travel. More information and registration found HERE. Contact Dave Hinkley with any questions.

A baptism service will be held Sunday, June 26. If you would like to have your child baptized, please fill out the form found here.

The repairs to the church basement will soon be completed and during the week of June 13th we’ll need about 10-20 volunteers each day to help move and re-settle our staff back into their offices. Moving furniture, cleaning offices, and shelving books are a few ways that you can help. Please sign up at the link below. Contact Thom Spalding with questions.

Sound the Trumpets and “Prepare ye the way of the Lord!” Join us July 25-28 for VBS! Children 4 years old through children going into 5th grade in the fall will have the opportunity to learn about how the Old Testament prophets warned the people of Israel to prepare their hearts for the coming Messiah. In the New Testament, John the Baptist cried out in the wilderness for repentance because the Messiah was at hand. John, the disciple of Christ, closed the book of Revelation with the promise that the King is coming again to take his people home. “The King Is Coming!” rings out with the hope that Christ’s return is near and bids us prepare for the glorious moment. Each day will include singing, teaching, crafts, and recreation.

Please contact Katie Middlestead with questions.

VBS will be from 9:00 – 11:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday at URC.

REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED ~ THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN REACHED.

There are a couple book study opportunities this summer. Consider joining one (or both!).

Women ages 16 and older are invited to a book study on Matthew Henry’s “A Discourse on Meekness and Quietness of Spirit”. It will meet just 3 Wednesday evenings — June 8, 15, 22 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Spencer’s home. Contact Danielle Spencer to RSVP or with any questions.

Women are also invited to participate in a book study starting on June 29 (NEW START DATE) to discuss Nancy Guthrie’s book “Even Better Than Eden”.

The 2^nd annual Chick-fil-A breakfast and 3v3 basketball tournament will be held June 25 at 8:30 a.m. Last year we had a great time with over 100 men and boys at breakfast and 17 teams in the basketball tournament.

Sign up below for the breakfast so we can guage numbers for the breakfast and if you’d like to participate in the basketball tournament, sign up as a team of 3-4 (each team must include at least one player under 16). This is the perfect event to include your boys and invite friends to participate.
