Corn Shucking - Sep 21st
We will need volunteers to shuck corn at 10AM in the church kitchen on Saturday the 21st. The more, the merrier!
Corn Roast - Sep 22nd
The annual Corn Roast will take place on the 4th Sunday of September, the 22nd, immediately after the 10AM worship service. The church will supply the juicy corn on the cob, as well as butter, salt & pepper, salad, rolls, and lemonade, and we ask you to bring your favorite pie to share.

Lay Servant Fall Classes
There are a number of Lay Servant classes being offered this fall, including the Introduction to Lay Ministry Basic Course on November 2nd and 9th. For more information, please visit https://dscumc.org/lay-servant-ministries-training-sessions/
A Call for Liturgists
Ever consider being a liturgist? On Sundays they make announcements, lead the Call to Worship, say the opening prayer, and read the scriptures.
It's not that scary (we promise!) and you will be given a clear script to follow, so you needn't worry about making anything up on the fly. The sign-up sheet is on the Social Hall stage on Sundays.
Volunteers Needed for Kitchen Duty
We would greatly appreciate having more volunteers in the kitchen for food prep before the 10AM worship service and especially for clean-up after Fellowship hour. It's not difficult work at all, but it's time consuming with only a few people.
Thank you to everyone who has helped so far with your gifts of time, energy, money and food! We couldn't do this without you!
