Our Presbytery of Geneva WV Mission Team returned this past Saturday from another successful trip to West Virginia. The team’s mission work involved building a handicap ramp, installing a new kitchen sink cabinet, and plumbing hot and cold water to a new kitchen faucet. The Presbytery has a long history of mission work in West Virginia. This photo is from April 2010, and many of these faces could be found on subsequent trips, including last week's. #flashbackfriday

Today's Throwback Thursday is a little different... I came across this book on ebay - does anybody remember this? Do you own a copy? I'm curious to find out more about it! #throwbackthursday #tbt

Our church schoolyear kicked off on Sunday, September 10th. We enjoyed Walt the Balloon Man, games, and hot dogs! Sunday School meets every Sunday during the 10:00 a.m. family worship service from September-June. For more information, call 315-331-2255.

God made covenant with all creation and all creatures - let us honor that covenant together! Bring your beloved pet - with water, a leash for dogs and carrier for cats (to keep them apart), and each animal will receive an individual blessing. Rain date TBD.

Two of Park Church's finest. It takes a LOT of work year-round to show at the fair. Congratulations on your successes, Gabby and Luke!

A fun evening out!

One year ago today, we celebrated the baptism of four cousins at the same time. Here, the cousins are pictured with their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. What a happy day!

Service and picnic with friends from other churches. Bring a dish to share, lawn chair, table service, and a willingness to worship. Please use the Washington Street entrance.

Our Chartered Organization Representative, Seth Burgess, examines the Pack 138 flag before leading six Cub Scouts off to summer camp at Camp Babcock-Hovey BSA. Looks great!
