Bible Study
2026-07-11 18:32
New Participants always welcome at our Monthly Bible Study Series!
Based on Walter Brueggemann’s commentary Genesis, “Beginnings” takes a fresh look at some familiar Bible stories. Discussions of creation and creationism, the rebellion of humankind and the Flood bring new perspectives on today’s issues. The experiences of Abraham, Esau, Jacob and Joseph speak to Christians seeking to live responsibly in our world.
In the Friendly Room, we’ll continue our monthly Bible Study series, entitled “Beginnings.” The sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board.
Questions? Contact Pastor Sarah.

Prayer Vigil
2026-07-11 18:32
Volunteers are needed for the Maundy Thursday Vigil. The Vigil will begin April 1 at 9:00 P.M. after the Maundy Thursday Service and end at 9:00 A.M. on Good Friday, April 2.
This year we will hold the Vigil in the Chapel. We can easily be socially distant. We do ask that you wear your mask. Volunteers are needed for a 1-hour time period throughout the night. The Holy Week vigil encourages the church to remain faithful to our Lord Jesus who is faithful to God and who gave his body and his blood for our sakes and the sake of the world. Helpful readings for this vigil time will be provided for those who spend this time in quiet worship.
Two or three people are needed for each 1-hour period, with one person seated quietly in the chapel and the other(s) in the lobby area. A volunteer begins with a 30 minute period in the lobby area and then moves for the next 30 minutes into the chapel. This coverage ensures that there will always be two or three people present in the building. Church doors will be locked. Entrance at the beginning of your vigil time may be gained by quietly knocking at the Eichelberger Street entrance; the person(s) stationed there will open the door and let you in.
To sign up to participate in the Vigil, simply call the church office, 314-353-2288. The office is open Monday through Thursday 9:00 A.M. to 12 Noon.

Lent Mid-Week Class
2026-07-11 18:32
“In this series, author Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Brueggemann calls out our 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Brueggemann shows readers how keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life. Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance.”
Contact Pastor Sarah to sign up and there is a sign up sheet posted on the bulletin board
