Music has always been a big part of life at Ivy Chapel… and now Ivy Chapel is a big part of one St. Louis music school, too!

Calling all eighth graders to Confirmation

Rich — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:45:17 +0000

We’re assembling our 2010-2011 class of Confirmands. Do you know an eighth grader who would like to join us this year? Come to our Informational Meeting on August 29th right after worship (the meeting should start around 11:15 or so). For more information, contact Linda Lowry or Pastor Dan.

Sing out loud!

Have you always thought about singing in the church choir — but never felt up to the task? It’s time to put your inhibitions aside and lend your voice! Rehearsals begin September 1.

Watch this space for information about other upcoming opportunities to express yourself during worship. Do you have an idea? Share it with us.

Thanks for a great VBS!

UPDATED: Lego House Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser

Rich — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:05:51 +0000

Update: After only two weeks, we have surpassed last year’s total and are almost there for our 2010 goal of $1,000! Can you help us reach — or even surpass the goal? Buy a block for Dad in honor of Father’s Day… or anytime during June. Check out the lego house in Fellowship Hall after worship on Sundays. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far… you are helping make a local family’s dream of home ownership come true! If you have questions, please contact us.

It’s time again for the Habitat for Humanity Lego House Fundraiser! Last year we raised $890 for Habitat for Humanity in St. Louis. Help us top $1000 this year. Look for the Lego House table in Fellowship Hall after worship or designate your special offering during worship for this very special cause. They say your home is your castle… let’s help a St. Louis family build their own castle, while we build a miniature one! Lego blocks are $10 each.

New this year… Want an extra-special way to honor someone on a holiday or birthday this summer? Buy a lego block in their name! Instead of a gaudy tie this Father’s Day, give Dad something that will have a lasting impact on the community! If you wish to designate a gift, visit the table in Fellowship Hall during coffee hour or see Marsha Ramey.

Please pray for our Pastor, Rev. Dan Wilson

UPDATED: We are pleased to announce Pastor Dan Wilson will return from his sabbatical on June 27. Please join us on this Sunday to give Pastor Dan a warm welcome home.

Congratulations to our Confirmands…

Uplifting new video from the United Church of Christ

God speaks to and through each of us in so many ways. In the United Church of Christ, it’s our mission to keep our ears, minds and hearts open to His message. In God’s language, there are no periods, no endings – only beginnings and possibilities…
