Ice Cream Social

Join us after church on Sunday in Fellowship Hall for our summer Ice Cream Social provided by the Worship Committee. Enjoy your favorite ice cream treats! This is also a great opportunity to invite your family and friends to church so they too can enjoy the tasty treat.

Activities Survey

For years, our Spiritual Life Committee has organized fellowship activities for the church. We have attended Sacramento Republic Soccer matches and watched the Rivercats play baseball. In the past, these events were well-attended but lately, attendance has decreased and we're wondering what sort of new all-church fellowship activities you would be interested in attending.
To help, we have created a list of potential activities survey to help us find events you would like to attend. Please take a few moments to check the boxes and help us find the activities you would like to do. We have also created a space for your additional ideas. Once this list is compiled, we will select new activities for our church members and friends. Thanks!

Food Pantry Donations

We collect non-perishable food pantry donations and travel-sized toiletries on Sunday, August 18. We will collect and dedicate them during the service and then take the donated food to the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership’s Food Closet and the toiletries to Wind Youth Services during the week.

Choir Rehearsal

The Pioneer Choir presents music of a great variety of styles – Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, traditional spirituals, brand-new choral anthems, and more. Rehearsals are at 6:30 on Thursdays in our choir room. New singers are welcome anytime. Music-reading skills are helpful, but not required. The choir will be out for the summer beginning on June 2 and will return on Sunday, September 1.

Bell Choir Rehearsal

Pioneer Bells rehearses on Tuesdays at 6:30 in our choir room, and presents some of the rich repertoire of music for bell choir in worship services – and occasionally in front of the church, serenading Sutter’s Fort Park!
