Our next Men’s Breakfast will be January 3rd at 9:00 a.m. at Frisch’s Big Boy. All men are invited to attend.
Our next Administrative Council meeting will be Tuesday, December 9th at 6:00 p.m. A hearty “Thank You” to Deb Lutz, Ed Smith, and Jeanne VanBuskirk for your three years of service on our Administrative Council Board. Helen Emerine will be rejoining the board starting in 2026, so we need one more volunteer to join the board. Please see any council member (Marcia Abbott, Morgan Johnson, Bob Manz, and Shelby Lopez are remaining on the board), Lori Clay, or Pastor Dean if interested in joining.
We continue our tradition of supporting a family for Christmas this year. Our family this year has three children under the age of six. Please select an ornament from the tree in the narthex and return the wrapped gift (along with the ornament) to the church.
A memorial celebration of Pastor Dave Culp’s life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, December 22, 2025, at St. John’s UCC in Tiffin, Ohio.

The church will be making Super Bowl Subs on Saturday, February 7th. Orders will be taken in January. Questions?? Please see Ron Lutz or call him at (419)448-8675.
Our Sunday School Class will be led by Pastor Dean in December as we dive into the season with “Advent” by J.D. Greear (available on RightNow Media). In this study, we will be taking a deeper look at Jesus as Emmanuel; our Wonderful Counselor; the Everlasting Father: and the Great I Am.
As you see family and friends over the holiday season, we wanted to remind you that Vacation Bible School 2026 will have different dates this year than what we have done in the past. This year’s VBS will be held from June 22-26th. We will also be having a community churchwide blended service on Sunday, June 28th at our church to recap the week. Please mark your calendars!
If you would like to send a card to Don Asselin, his address is on our website.
