Serving God Since 1840!
Our church made a huge "splash" with it's sea of blue at
the Schweizerfest parades. We had 90+ walkers in bright blue
EvUCC t-shirts between the Saturday and Sunday parades. We
walked, sang, danced, threw candy and even had a few of the bell
choir on hand. Thanks to Hug Upholstery for the use of their
antique trucks and Andrew and Kevin Kimmle for their showmanship on
the unicycles. The community definitely knows who EvUCC is
now!!

Fun & Faith
The Mom 'n Me Group has changed their name to Fun & Faith.
We wanted a name that was inclusive of the activities and events we
want to sponsor through the church. Look for announcements in
the Weekly Word, Evangelines and on this website for upcoming
events! Some of these events include a Guys Night Out, Ladies
Night Out, Couples Night Out, Trivia Night, Couples Retreat, Pumpkin
Patch Party with hayride, and a stand at the Pb&J Festival on
the square, just to name a few!
If you have any ideas for activities/events, please feel free to
contact Beth Grohmann, Jacqueline
Hegger, Marianne
Kohrmann, or Angela Smith.
