ANNUAL MEETING - JUNE 30, 2013
All members of Spring Creek UCC are encouraged to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting on Sunday, June 30 immediately following the worship service. A 20% quorum is required to vote on important business of the church, including the incoming slate of Council officers and the proposed budget for 2013-2014. Please mark your calendars!
 Adopt a Garden Bed! The sign-up chart has been posted to maintain your favorite area of the Spring Creek memorial gardens. Please volunteer to help keep our grounds beautiful this summer. We have a big pile of bark mulch that needs spreading to keep the weeds away, and there are piles of leaves and sticks to haul back to the hidden brush piles. There are plenty of jobs for folks with chainsaws and weed whackers, too. If you some time to spare, the church office will get you in touch with a member of the groundskeeping committee for task assignment!

 "We are loved by God so ferociously that God will go to the death for us, and that love is ultimately the strongest power in the Universe. Death does not destroy. Life prevails and truth perseveres. The walls that divide us will one day be broken down, and peace will come to this world."
– Pastor Ivan Schoen, February 17, 2013 Installation Sermon

Come on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Worship in our light-filled sanctuary with a service of singing and instrumental music, praying, reading, and reflecting. Dress in whatever manner you are most comfortable – lots of us prefer casual attire. You may expect to hear spirit-filled music, spontaneous sharing of both joys and concerns, and messages that you can relate to your daily life. A staffed nursery is available for little ones under age five. Our sanctuary, fellowship areas, and restrooms are easily accessible for those with mobility challenges.
- Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month. All are welcome to partake in the sacraments. Those who participate may choose between wine and non-alcoholic grape juice, and gluten-free wafers are provided in addition to bread.
- On the second Sunday of each month, our service includes a time of peaceful meditation during which those who wish to share personal concerns with the pastor may come forward for anointing and Healing Prayer.
- Following the service at about 11:45 AM, there is a time of fellowship, coffee, and refreshments in our Fireside Room. Our members love to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries!
