First Annual Children’s Led Worship was Awesome!
Special thanks to all of the children that participated in our first annual children’s led worship service.
News and Announcements
Children’s Led Worship
Join us on Sunday, October 28th for our First annual children’s led worship service. Please come and support our youth.
Inklings
An “inkling” is a hunch or hint of something. Many of us have a notion that God exists, a suspicion that there is more out there than we can see. But, it’s hard to be confident in anything more than an inkling. Brandon Perry-Hudson and Pastor Peter are wondering how many other guys would be interested in joining them for a monthly, multi-faith discussion around questions that are hard to answer. Please contact Pastor Peter or leave your name and contact information on the sign-up sheet if you are interested.
What is Reformed?
We’ve had a number of new people express interest in joining the congregation. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the Reformed tradition and what it means to be a member is invited to remain after worship on November 4th and 11th for a not-too-long conversation about where the Reformed Church came from and what it believes.
Yoga for the People
Don’t forget that SCRC hosts yoga twice a week. You can join other members of the community and congregation on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 pm and Friday mornings at 9:00 am. Yoga is led by Claudia Collins and is free for everyone (but we are taking donations).
BBQ on the Hill
Saturday, September 8th at 5:30 pm
Join us for a potluck BBQ the the 2nd Saturday of every month. The grill will be hot and ready to go. Please bring anything you would like to grill for yourself and a dish to share.
We will conclude our time with a “Fireside Chat”. A conversation about the following quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Feel The Rhythm
One of the desires expressed in our congregational conversations was to be “more than a Sunday morning congregation.” With that in mind, we are going to start moving in that direction by hosting two monthly gatherings.
The first is Jazz Vespers which will happen on the first Sunday of each month. If you would like to be on the planning team to resurrect Jazz Vespers, please speak with Pastor Peter.
The second event, is a monthly BBQ Potluck which will happen on the second Saturday of the month. The next BBQ will be Saturday, August 11th at 5:30pm. The BBQ grill will be hot and ready for you. The campfire will be lit and ready. Please bring what ever meat you would like to grill for yourself and a dish to share. BYOB.
Office hours: Pastor Peter will be in the Church office on Monday-Thursday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm this week. Feel free to call him if you’d like to set up an appointment. He is also available outside of office hours if there is a more convenient time and place for you. He can be reached at (616) 450-9774.
Fellowship, fun, and of course food!
In case you missed our 4th of July potluck BBQ at the Church, don’t worry. We had so much fun that we are planning to do this on a regular basis. Stay tuned for more details….

Celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism
For you Jesus Christ came into the world;
For you he died and for you conquered death;
All this he did for you, little one,
Though you know little of it as yet.
We love because God first loved us.
Water cleanses, purifies, refreshes, and sustains. Jesus Christ is living water. Today we celebrated God’s promise to Lena and Nora Kammerzelt.
