Fall Hike - September 14

On Saturday, September 14, join your church family to hike Conkle's Hollow in beautiful Hocking Hills! For the more adventurous hiker, the rim trail encircles the top of the gorge with great views from the cliff's edges, but other parts of Conkle's Hollow are designated wheelchair and ADA-accessible, so no matter your age, mobility, or fitness level - we welcome all!

Carpooling from the church at 1:30 PM, we will journey to Conkle's Hollow and enjoy some time on the trail, then dine together at the Olde Dutch Restaurant in Logan before heading back to Westerville.

Questions? See Amy McKibben or any member of the Parish Life Board.

Our High School and Middle School youth groups are going to Cedar Point on Monday, July 29! We'll meet at the church at 9 AM and will be home by 9 PM. Hope your child can join us for a day of fun! Parents/grandparents are welcome to join us.

Cedar Point Sign Up

Do you love kids? Would you like to hold a baby? We're looking for adults who would like to volunteer once every other month in the church nursery with the "little ones" during worship. Please get in touch with Lyn Kiger for more information! Or stop by the church nursery - we have all the fun!

The Board of Christian Education is also looking for Sunday School teachers for the fall. You will be provided with a lesson plan and will have a teaching partner, so you will have fun with kids and adults! With enough volunteers, it would involve one Sunday a month.

To volunteer in the Nursery or Sunday School, you must be a church member for at least six months. Contact Marilyn Waldsmith for more information!
