"We exist to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ

and to go make disciples of Jesus Christ." 

Worship Service, Aug 16, 2026

Take some time this week to invite someone to worship!  Pastor Wayne’s new Message Series on Football and Faith might be just the “hook” you need as you follow Jesus as one of His fisher-people!  Invite your favorite football fan!  Watch the game together on Saturday (1 pm on channel 5), or go to your favorite High School game on Friday, then bring your friend/neighbor/child/grandchild to church with you, to hear “the rest of the story!” 

Stay after worship for an ice cream social in the fellowship hall, on September 13th.  If you would like to bring a topping for the ice cream, please see the sheet on the hall table.

Rev. Dr. Dan Gildner, our new Associate Conference Superintendent, will visit each circuit across the Allegheny West Conference.

Our Men’s group is planning to go to a football game together in the coming weeks.  Be sure to express your opinion on when and where.  Lots of great High School, College, and Pro games to consider!  We’ll car-pool and make a night (or afternoon) of it!

Celebrate 80 years of ministry at Camp Wanake!  

Sept. 11-13 will be a wonderful time of celebration. Wanake began as an E.U.B. camp. Children from Fairhope went to camp there, to meet Jesus there!  Maybe you were one of them? Celebrate this wonderful heritage!  Full details can be found at campwanake.org.
