Cheney Community Church

Vacation Bible School (VBS) begins next Monday at Cheney Community Church. The dates are July 25 – 29. Hours: 9 a.m. – noon. The theme this year is, “Ocean Commotion, diving into Noah’s flood!” All children preschool (must be potty trained) through fifth grade are welcome. Don’t miss this exciting time. Come and bring a friend, too.

The church is located at 1307 Third St. in Cheney. Call (509) 235-4841 for information or pre-registration forms. Registration for VBS is available on-site as well.

Cheney United Church of Christ

Pastor David Krueger Duncan will present the sermon, entitled “Tricky Gnosis,” on July 24, at 10 a.m. The text will be Acts 20:28-32. We will explore the various interpretations of portions of the Bible including some that are often provided with truths and power that they do not actually have. Kate Francis will provide special music. A coffee hour will follow the services in the church fellowship hall.

Prior to services on Sunday, July 24, men’s breakfast will meet at Cheney Marketplace Bakery & Eatery. Summer church office hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Call the church office at 235-4193 for information. Messages may be left if no one is in the office when you call.
