Churches

Cheney Congregational Church

Sunday, Oct 3 is Communion Sunday at Cheney Congregational Church. As usual, on the first Sunday of each month, our communion table is open to everyone who is old enough to understand. One need not be a member to share the sacrament.

The sermon text will be Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7. God speaks a word of hope to those who feel they are living in exile, cut off from a life of joy and wholeness. Join us to hear this word of hope!

Children are welcome in our congregation. Young children can play in a designated area in the back of the sanctuary. Parents can be part of the service while their children play in quiet activities right in front of them. Children who are generally age 4-10 can participate in Children’s Church following the opening parts of our service.

Following services a fellowship hour for everyone offers an opportunity for refreshment and conversation.

We are joining other churches in Cheney to sponsor a youth group for children in grades 6-12. Children and their parents are welcome to meet Oct. 6 from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at United Methodist Church.

The Lunch Bunch will meet on Thursday Oct. 10 at noon in the fellowship hall. You are invited to bring a dish to share and enjoy fellowship and an opportunity to meet some of the members of our congregation.

Put Oct. 12 at 4:30 p.m. on your calendar. There will be an installation service for our new pastor, Matt Goodale. He will affirm his ordination vows and the congregation will affirm its calling of him to be our pastor. Join the congregation in the sanctuary for this service.

Church office hours are Monday 1-4 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m.-noon and Thursday 11 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Please call ahead to be sure that someone is in the office. Pastor Goodale is available by appointment. The office e-mail is [email protected]. Office phone is 509-235-4103 where a voice mail message may be left if no one is available to answer.
