Churches

Cheney Congregational Church

This Sunday, June 7, we will continue to explore how God is at work in our ordinary everyday lives.

It can be hard to feel as connected to God when our normal church routines are interrupted. But the good news is that we worship a God who we can encounter anywhere and everywhere, not just in a church building.

Pastor Matt Goodale continues to send out a recording of his sermon each week along with an at-home worship guide. If you’re interested in receiving either, then email Goodale at [email protected]. We hope this message finds you in good health.

Blessings to all this week.

Our Free Community Pantry remains open to the community and all are invited to take what they need and leave what they can.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

We are a welcoming haven, nourishing all God’s people in body, mind and spirit. Rev. Kathryn Lamphere is our vicar.

Our church services and gatherings are suspended for now due to the threat of the coronavirus. We will keep you updated on future plans. Meantime you can go online to http://www.episcopaldioceseofspokane for online Sunday services.

The memorial service in honor of our deceased priest, Rev. Christine Soule, is postponed and will be rescheduled later, to be held at St. John’s Cathedral. We will keep you informed.

For your contemplation: “When we are truly in this interior simplicity our whole appearance is franker, more natural. This true simplicity...makes us conscious of a certain openness, gentleness, innocence, gaiety, and serenity, which is charming when we see it near to and continually, with pure eyes. O, how amiable this simplicity is! Who will give it to me? I leave all for this. It is the Pearl of the Gospel.” Francois Fenelon

United Methodist Church

Join us for worship this week at the United Methodist Church. Each week you are invited to worship with us at home online or with a worship guide while our church building is closed. This Sunday pastors Alissa Bertsch and Pat Sleeth will begin a new sermon series based on the book, “Three Simple Rules, A Wesleyan Way of Living.” The first rule is ‘do no harm’ and we will explore that topic especially as it relates to returning to our building for worship.

An at home worship guide is available weekly for those not wanting or able to access the online worship service. You can download it from the church website at http://www.cheneyumc.org or contact pastor Alissa Bertsch at 509-879-2278 if you would like be added to our mailing list for a hard copy. We continue to pray for health and safety for all as we worship apart but together in spirit.
