Sunday Morning Book Study: Most Sundays beginning September 7, 8:45 a.m., in room 203

Family Fun Day for local schools: Friday October 17 (10 a.m. – 3.00 p.m.)
As part of our ongoing vision to support and partner with local public schools we will be hosting two Title 1 elementary schools (Greencastle and New Hampshire Estates) on our property. This will be a fall festival with games, face painting, pumpkin carving, hayrides, nature walks, a visit to our bees, firepits with s’mores and a tasty lunch. If you are available during the daytime to help, please contact Briana Teller at brianat@crcc.org.

Gathering for Compassion and Capacity: Sunday October 19 (11:30 a.m.– 1:00 p.m.) in the barn
Twice this year, Cedar Ridge has hosted gatherings for those affected by sweeping actions by the current administration. Initially, we called it a compassionate space – aiming to hold space for those whose livelihoods were affected by the administration’s actions. This fall, we want to be intentional about making space for everyone – those affected personally, those recognizing the fear that neighbors and fellow community members feel. We will use our time together to both exercise compassion and grow in our ability to understand, connect, and respond. The next gathering for Compassion and Capacity will be held in the barn on October 19 after the main service. We will check in with each other, talk with a local expert in immigration law to better understand the current legal and law enforcement environment, and discuss ways to respond – spiritually and practically. A pizza lunch will be provided.

Fall Day of Service: Sunday October 26 at 10 a.m.
Join us at our usual time of 10 a.m. for coffee, bagels, and donuts before departing in groups to serve our community. Some projects will occur in the church building or on our farm or property. Others will take place off-campus. Then we’ll all join back together for a pizza lunch and community time. Save the date and more details about projects will be released shortly.

Stand in solidarity and empathy with others as a Prayer Companion
Do you enjoy listening and praying with others? We’re gathering a team of Prayer Companions to be available to pray with people at the back of the auditorium during communion on Sundays. Join us in October to discuss interest, types of prayer, and training needs. Email Kate Thomas at creativekate@gmail.com for more information. 

Toiletries for Greencastle Elementary Families: currently on hold
Thank you so much to everyone who has given so generously to our toiletries donations program over the last two years. These items have been very gratefully received by vulnerable families in need. Due to changes in staffing at Greencastle, we are pausing this program, and will work with school staff to  reassess the most pressing needs in the coming months. Thank you again for your generosity!
