Here’s our Waneta passionately, reading scripture of the week. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 05/14/2026 Our scripture and lesson this week was based on the scripture of John 14. Pastor Jeannine showed us that Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit, in that whomever believed in him would have everlasting life. He asked us to obey his teaching and his commands. Jesus told his disciples that he was going to prepare a place for them. This is a foundation of our Christian faith. Our sincere condolences to the family of Sally Thomas. Sally was a faithful member of our congregation whom we will miss dearly. Her memorial service is planned at church at 2 PM on Saturday, May 16. Sally always had a smile on her face and a good word for others. We also send condolences to Sharon Jenks and family in the recent passing of Wes Jenks. Wes was our pastor for many years in the 1980 and 90s. After his retirement, he and Sharon settled in Florida. We will always remember his guitar playing, and the trips that he and Judy White Wunder planned to many places, including Pigeon Forge! We will be replanning the date of our pancake supper to our next brunch Sunday, the second Sunday in June, at church. Road cleanup is May 15 at 9 AM. Others are welcome to join us. It usually only takes an hour and beautifies our road near the church on 54-a. Please meet at church at 9 AM where we will divy up the route. Pray for no rain, but if it does rain, we will reschedule. See you at church on Sunday! Remember music Sunday is May 31!
Thank you, Ron Miller for all you do musically for us. Our choir always sounds awesome! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 05/07/2026 Pastor Jeannine gave our lesson today about the good Shepherd. She started with the kids telling them that Jesus was there to protect them and all of us. The sheep know the shepherd‘s voice and come to him, but scurry away from other people if they do not recognize them or their voice. Pastor Jeannine continued on, showing the adults that Jesus was the gate to the sheep. Whoever enters the gate will be saved. The Shepherd knows all his sheep by names. He knows all of us too, our names and even the hairs on our head and chest. Jesus rose again to be the shepherd for all of us. We are saved because of him- he gave his life not only for his sheep, but for us. Max Lucado‘s study on taming your thoughts begins with Bible study at 9 AM Saturday. All are welcome. Trish DeMondfort will be leading the Bible study. Road cleanup of our section on 54-a will begin at 9 AM on Friday, May 15. All are welcome to join in. We meet at the church at 9 AM and split up for our assignments. All are welcome to join. Several of us traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania recently for the memorial service for Bruce Westerdahl. The family did an awesome job with the service with plenty of memories and videos of both Bruce and Nancy. Bruce was our pastor for many years during the 1980 in 1990s. He lived a long life passing in December 2025 at age 94, in joining his beloved wife, Nancy in heaven. The memorial service for Meredith Nielsen will be at church at 11 AM on Friday, May 8. Our dear Meredith was a lifelong member of our church and is so missed! Another music Sunday! There are five Sundays in May so our next music Sunday will be May 31. The kids will begin practicing their numbers. Come and join us. Thank you to Warren and Melissa Kinsey for after church snacks this week!
Blanche Fingar show some of the prayer shawls she has made this winter! We are so lucky to have her and our congregation, with all she does to help others! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 04/30/2026 If you were going for a walk, and Jesus came by and walked with you, would you recognize him? Two men, likely two disciples, were on the road to Emmaus were joined by a man who came to them as a stranger. They did not recognize him. They were full of grief as they walked along, having recently lost Jesus. When they came to Emmaus Jesus acted like he was going ahead. The two men urged him to stay for dinner. Jesus took a seat at the table. He took the bread, blessed it and broke it and gave it to them. At that point their eyes opened; they recognized him as Jesus and they discovered that he had indeed risen from the dead. They returned to Jerusalem and told the other 11 what had happened and that Jesus had really risen. Pastor Jeannine showed us that the resurrected Jesus doesn’t promise us, wealth, health, or prosperity but he promises us peace. He changes us and how we see our current circumstances. We can face troubles, illnesses, and tragedy, knowing that with God trying times and events will never have the last word. Death has been swallowed up in victory. Pastor Jeannine asked us if we have ever seen Christ through the actions of others. What ministries are you involved in with a church where you can experience Jesus Christ through loving service? What ministries is God calling you to do? As you can see in this picture, Blanche Fingar is very involved in the ministry of making prayer shawls to comfort others in their sadness, pain, or grief. This is one of our churches important ministries, and Blanche and others have been called to help others in this way. Thank you, Christie Mosch and Marilyn Sands for our delicious treats after church this Sunday. We appreciate the time for fellowship and sharing. Remember, Bible study will begin on May 2 at 9 AM with the book by Max Lucado, Tame your Thoughts. We are planning a celebration of life for Meredith Nielsen at 11 AM on Friday, May 8 with a reception to follow. We so miss Meredith. She was active in our church and such a follower of Christ throughout her whole life. Nice to see the spring flowers, although coming to church today, we did have a little snow on the ground. Hopefully that’s the end of that for the year! Come join us in our Sunday worship at 9 AM!
