Recently, Ben talked about the survey, Listening to Our Neighbors.
We’d love your help reaching more people in our community.
If you have Facebook, please take a moment to share our Facebook post that includes a short community survey. You can find it on our church Facebook page.
And, if you’d rather send it directly to neighbors, friends, or family, you can share this direct survey link via email or text message https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5uVpoaz0R7_zorjkvelmdli14M5thWovxuAVBezPt5DJWbA/viewform?usp=header
Thank you for your help!


This Week (October 20-26)  

Singles Supper Club- Thursday, October 23rd - 5:30 p.m. at House of Chow at Crossroads on Stadium - We have formed a new group for Christian singles within and outside of our congregation. If you would be interested in meeting for dinner at various restaurants around Columbia please contact Catherine to be put on the email list. These would be weekly, relaxed, come-if-you-can gatherings on Thursday evenings and there is no pressure to attend every week. We simply want to enjoy good food and great company. - To RSVP contact Point Person: Catherine Shanahan, catherine@mwlocustgrove.com

Future Opportunities/Events

Gorgeous Girls - October 27th - 11:00 a.m. - Just Love Coffee - Point Person: Kathy Koehler, kkoehler1976@gmail.com

Final Give Back Day of 2025 - Coyote Hill, Harrisburg - Saturday, November 1st - 9:00-12:00 - This is a wonderful opportunity to bless an amazing organization that supports children and families — and we’ll need all hands on deck to make it happen. We’ll be helping with outdoor cleanup, yard work, home maintenance, and other projects around the property. There will be jobs for all ages and skill levels, so everyone can pitch in and make a difference.  Unlike some of our other service days this year — the Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House, Midway Meals, and Fisher House — this project requires a big crew to get the work done. Please make plans to join us if at all possible!  The timing couldn’t be better: it’s before deer season and an off-week for Mizzou football, so let’s use the day to give back together.  Thank you for being a church that loves and serves our community so well. Let’s finish the year strong together at Coyote Hill! More details on getting there and what to bring will be shared soon, but for now — please mark your calendars, plan to serve, & RSVP so we can have a head count for who will be there. RSVP here. Point Person Jessie Kempf, jessica@weicherthob.com
