Inreach Board

 

The mission of the Inreach Board (IB) is to serve and support the church family, welcome and foster visitors and new members, deepen relationships and encourage spiritual growth through worship, music and fellowship. 

    The board is responsible for Sunday coffee hours and monthly birthday cakes, and includes a Membership Committee, a Congregational Concerns Committee, and a Sunshine Committee to minister to those who are ill or recently home from the hospital. The music program also falls under the Inreach Board. 

    The Congregational Concerns Committee keeps in touch with our members in retirement and nursing homes. A member of the committee goes to see them at least once a month. Homebound people are also contacted in the same way, as well as those with special needs. This group also delivers flowers; any Sunday that the donor of the flowers for the altar chooses to leave them, the flowers are delivered to someone recently returned home from the hospital or who is homebound. After memorial services, the committee arranges and, occasionally, serves refreshments.

Inreach Notes

Get ready! It’s almost time for the Welcome Back Picnic! The big kickoff to the new year is Sunday, Sept. 11. Following the worship service, the Inreach Board invites you to join us for lunch. In addition to hot dogs, corn and potato chips, we will celebrate Birthday Sunday that day. We hope to see you all there. Please talk with your groups and sign up to make coffee and tea for the Sunday Fellowship Hour. Everything that is needed is provided, and there are several people willing to show you what to do if you are unfamiliar with the kitchen. We need everyone’s help to make it possible to have this fellowship time each Sunday. The signup sheet is on the bulletin board outside the library. If you need mentoring, talk with a member of the Inreach Board. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the choir room. Rehearsal last about an hour. We also gather at 9:15 a.m. Sunday mornings prior to worship. The first rehearsal for the new church year is Thursday, Sept. 8, in preparation for worship on Sept. 11. If you are interested in singing with the choir, please join us for our rehearsal. The Inreach Board is looking for a few people who would be willing to be called upon to organize a reception following a memorial service when the family would like one here. Marie Edmister did this for many years and we are most grateful to her for her years of service. We feel that she deserves a well- earned rest. Would you be able to help continue this important mission? Please see any member of the Inreach Board.
