On August 24 during the worship service we had the kickoff for the upcoming Sunday school year. The teachers were introduced and children were welcomed to "Come Gather 'Round." The message was "Warning: Life Change in Progress" by Pastor Dave Stevens. With the help of Jean Regier at the potter's wheel, he shared the message of Jeremiah 18:1-12. Following the worship service everyone was given the opportunity to look at displays in the fellowship hall showing what different Sunday school classes have planned for the year. We were also able to get a glimpse of the upcoming Wednesday night activities and enjoy some treats.

The Eden Retreat weekend is a time for all to relax and enjoy God's beautiful nature. It is also a time of intergenerational interaction. The event takes place at Camp Mennoscah each summer. There is time for fishing, swimming, playing games, relaxing, and most important, worship. See the pictures from the event below.
