Yellow Bag Sundays

January Yellow Bag Sundays

Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter.  In January our contributions go to the food pantry at the Center Church. This is the building that used to be Mt. Vernon Presbyterian. The Center Church continues to operate the food pantry. Consider bringing canned fruits and meats.

Messy Church

Messy Church: January 12

Messy Church happens at 4:30 pm on January 12. Invite your neighbors and friends to this fun, interactive hands-on ministry.  Dinner is served at 5:30 pm.

This is our chance as a congregation to make a heart connection with our kids and families who may be new to our church or even new to Christian faith.  Passing on our story means that every believer gets the opportunity to share the ways in which God has rescued them.  Life is Messy, why should our faith be any different?
