Next Joint Worship with New Era
July 16 @ New Era, 9:00 am
After hosting New Era in June, we’re looking forward to joining them in their church! Our offering will once again support the Iowa Bishop’s RAGBRAI for Hunger Initiative. If you’d like to be a part of the choir and missed signing up, contact Delene McConnaha for more information.
Baking Pies for RAGBRAI
Saturday, July 29
We’re excited to join with 10-14 other congregations to provide pie to RAGBRAI riders as they come through Muscatine! Though this is a fundraiser for SOTC, this is also an opportunity for us to unite ourselves with other congregations in the greater Muscatine area and provide a witness to our community.
We need your help though! We need bakers to make pie and volunteers to help sell/take money on July 29. Sign up in the narthex or contact Melissa Booth, Mackenzie Gilbert, or Delene McConnaha. Thank you!
Big Questions Adult Course
Beginning September 2023
Are you unsatisfied with “everything happens for a reason” approach to difficult and confusing moments in your life? Or, have you ever felt naming your questions in the church?
Big Questions is a group that will explore common, yet complex, questions of faith and life. Examples of questions we’ll consider are: Why do bad things happen? What happens when I die? What is truth and how do I know what is true?
To honor the complexity of the questions named, Big Questions will not offer simple, pat-answers. Rather, through instruction, conversation, Scripture, and formative spiritual practices, the intent will be to explore the deeper truths behind the questions while also shaping a faith that is more substantial and richly personal.

Growing and Going Initiative Continues!
Have you noticed new leaves on our vine? Expenses for the ministry of Jesus through SOTC continue to be added to our bulletin board. Next time you’re at church, check it out!
