Daily Devotional

“Feed Your Spirit” is a daily devotion that includes scripture, reflection, and prayer.

It is found on the UCC website which can be reached here: http://www.ucc.org/feed_your_spirit

Other devotional articles and items to ponder are also located there.

Prayer Cell

Individuals who have felt called to spend time in prayer meet in the sanctuary every Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.  Prayers are lifted for those listed in the bulletin along with individual requests given to the group.  After updating the weekly prayer list, the group sits in silence to pray.  Each member spends time daily praying for those listed.  If you have a prayer request for the group, you may contact the church office. All prayer requests given to the group are kept confidential.  The group is open to anyone who feels called to pray for others.

 

WOMEN’S GUILD

 

The Women’s Guild meets on the third Wednesday afternoon of each month. We are a group of women of all ages. We enjoy our study time, brief business meeting, and fellowship.

The Guild is active in many projects throughout the year. These include:

  • serving celebration of life dinners for church family and friends
  • hosting the Confirmation reception
  • leading a birthday party for California Care residents
  • delivering gifts and cookies to our church family members in care centers
  • serving a meal for the annual Community Service Project
  • cleaning the kitchen and other such projects as needed
  • supporting and promoting the Festival of Sharing with monetary gifts, kits, and Best Choice labels

They also willingly take on other projects in the church as needed or asked to do.

MEN’S BROTHERHOOD

All men of the church are invited and encouraged to be a part of the Brotherhood meetings on the fourth Monday evening most months, at 7:00 PM. Typical meetings include a devotion, hymn singing, informational and inspiration program, and closing with fellowship and refreshments. An offering is taken each month to support various projects around the church and our community.

The Brotherhood is involved in a variety of projects and programs throughout the year. These include:

  • Community service project with the Methodist Men and Tipton Correctional Center inmates
  • Family fish fry meal with the Central UCC Brotherhood in Jefferson City
  • Decorate the sanctuary and outdoors for Christmas
  • Christmas Caroling to care centers and invited homes
  • They are often involved with the community Crop Walk and help around the church or assist with other projects as requested

Traditionally, the Brotherhood provides a special anthem during a Lenten service each year.
