Mending Workshop | January 24th

Updated: Jan 7

Join us for a hands-on mending workshop! Bring sewing supplies and an item in need of repair. Sally Kirkpatrick will guide the mending and share tips as well as Christian reflection on mending.

Mending clothes isn’t just practical—it’s meaningful. Repairing what’s torn saves money, reduces waste, and creates something unique and beautiful. Even more, it reminds us of God’s grace: choosing restoration over discard, hope over despair. Just as we mend garments, God mends our brokenness and relationships, weaving new life into what seemed beyond repair.

Think of this as a mending potluck: everyone brings an item in need of repair—along with any materials you have—and we share the work together. You won’t mend your own item; someone else will lovingly repair it for you, and you’ll mend something for another member of the community. At the end, everyone goes home with their own garment, renewed and wearable again!

No experience necessary—just a willing heart and a need for repair. If you don’t know how to fix something, someone else probably does, and we’ll help each other along the way.

This is more than mending clothes—it’s about creativity, hope, and community. Things are often more beautiful after they’ve been broken and patched up, and the same is true for us. Healing is better when it’s shared.

After-Church Yoga

Sundays in August from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon We are told in the Bible to love the Lord with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. That’s a lot. Yoga is an ancient framework, not a religion, that originated in South Asia; through philosophy, movement, and breath work, it provides a structure for doing just that. Over the past five years or so, Sally Kirkpatrick has been practicing yoga and have found that it has deepened and enriched my love of and faith in Jesus

Breaking Ground: A New Chapter Begins Sunday, July 5th

After years of faithful planning, prayer, and dedication—and following months of demolition—we have reached an exciting milestone in the life of our congregation. The Arlan A. Baillie building has officially come down, marking the end of one chapter and the hopeful beginning of another. What once stood as a familiar space in our community has now made way for something new. Beginning the week of July 6, our project turns the corner from demolition to construction as we move f
