November book selection will be chosen at the October meeting. Also, remember our service project is donations for the Blessing Box. Please place your donations in the box anytime during October.

We want to celebrate anything you are doing at the Fairfield County Fair this year! We’d like pictures of what you are submitting, and we invite you to share with the congregation on Fair Sunday, October 15th!


Be a Part of Music at First Have a good time, grow in your faith, enjoy awesome fellowship, and experience God’s presence while making music in God’s name. NOW is a GREAT time to become part of our music ministries. You will be a blessing, and you will be blessed by serving in this way. Prayerfully consider it!

We’ll celebrate Grandparents Sunday on October 22nd during both worship services. It’s the 4th Sunday of the month but we will be celebrating Family Worship so families can be together that day! At the end of each service, we will offer an opportunity to have pictures taken with grandchildren and grandparents! Photos will be available in the Parlor the following Sunday. So, kids! Bring your grandparents (or friends and neighbors who are like grandparents!), and grandparents bring your grandchildren, so we can all worship together on October 22nd!

A reminder that cyber-criminals and con artists are using more and more technology to scam people. Please know that should you ever receive an email or text from anyone on staff asking for money or gift-cards, it’s not from the staff. Should you receive an email or text or are ever in doubt, please feel free to call the church at 740-653-3330, and we will take the appropriate action. Thank you!
