Advent 2019
Join us each Sunday in December for the season of
Peace, Hope, Joy and Love.
Candlelight Christmas Eve Service (x2)
What’s better than our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service? How about two Christmas Eve Candlelight services? Due to overflow of the sanctuary, this year we are going to offer the same worship service at two different times, Tuesday, December 24 at 5 pm & 7 pm.
But what about cookies you ask? That depends on whether you prefer your cookies before or after worship! There will be a time for Cookie Fellowship from 6-7 pm in Fellowship Hall for both services.
Knowing that there should be some extra room in the pews, invite friends, neighbors and loved ones to this light-filled, inspirational service!
Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed in (Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 13) that grows quickly into a small tree. The parable illustrates the power of tiny ideas, beliefs and acts that grow into large and significant endeavors.
The Upside Down Kingdom
A new thirteen-week series
Starting Sunday, November 3, 2019
The Mustard Seeds class is discussing The Upside Down Kingdom by Don Kraybill. This biblical study explores how Jesus’ life, teachings, and vision of the Kingdom of God turns everything upside down.

2019 Volunteer Interest Survey
The work of the church body is carried out by its members, and we are grateful for the many gifts and talents among us at Etown CoB.
The intention of the 2019 Volunteer Interest Survey is to match interests to the many positions that help us carry out our mission of Practicing Peace, Service & Openness to All.
The Gifts Discernment Committee, Pastors and Office will receive this information. We want 100% participation! Click here to fill out the survey. It should take approximately 3 minutes to complete. Paper versions are available in the office/in the narthex. All church attenders are invited to complete this questionnaire.
PEACE, SERVICE AND OPENNESS TO ALL
Our interest in spreading our love and faith goes beyond our small Etown community.
