​Join us on Sunday, Nov. 12th immediately after worship for our November Congregational Meeting. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary and you can attend remotely via Zoom by staying in the same Zoom room that we use for worship (http://www.uccmanhattan.org/online). All are welcome to attend and members will also be invited to vote. We will be previewing the 2024 budget and approving the slate of officers for 2024. 

Hard copies of the draft budget and slate of officers will be available in the church building. If you need a digital copy, please contact the church office so we can email you a link.

​On Nov. 5th, we join with Christians around the globe in remembering our saints on All Saints’ Day. We will name those who have died in the past year who we hold dear to our hearts. Please join us for worship as we remember our saints together. 

​Since the late 1990’s, our faith community has held a Thursday night worship service of prayer and song, inspired by the worship tradition in the community of Taize, in southern France.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, we moved this worship experience online, meeting over Zoom on Thursday evenings.  We have been on a summer vacation since May, however, and as we resume, we will be making some changes.  Beginning on October 19, we will resume worshipping together in person only, in Pioneer Hall.  We will meet once a month, at 7:00, for prayer and song, on the third Thursday of each month thereafter.  We have missed the communal aspect of our songs and prayer, and look forward to being together again.  We extend a loving invitation to all of our church family to join us for this quiet, approximately 30-minute time together.

Sunday, Oct. 15 is our celebration of Second Helping volunteers. Join us as we give thanks for the hard work of the many volunteers who make Second Helping possible. Linda Thurston will present a history and current state of Second Helping as the sermon. The Mission Board is organizing a reception to follow during the Fellowship Hour. We would love to have you join us!
