Upcoming Dates

Sunday Service: 

Sunday, October 20th worship will be held in the sanctuary at 10:00 a.m.  Come, worship with us and share the joy.  After the service Mendenhall Presbyterian Church and Unionville Presbyterian Church will join with us to package 10,000 meals for Rise Against Hunger.

Produce Sharing Table

Has your garden produced more than you and your family can consume? Or perhaps you didn’t get a garden planted this year but would love some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers or zucchini? We have placed a Produce Sharing Table in the rear of the sanctuary. This is the perfect spot to bring your excess produce, or to pick up a few items that you don’t have access to from your own garden. The only thing better than your own, home-grown, fresh produce is sharing your bounty with others!

Homecoming Sunday

On Sunday, October 27th we will celebrate our first annual Homecoming Sunday—a special day dedicated to celebrating and giving thanks to God for the ministry of Doe Run Presbyterian Church. We will recognize long-time members, acknowledge ways that we have reached out into the community, celebrate the ways that we have stretched and grown over the past year, and honor those we have lost. Bring your stories, memories and pictures to share. We hope you’ll plan to join us for this special worship service and time of fellowship.

Rise Against Hunger

Rise Against Hunger is a growing global movement to end hunger by nourishing lives, empowering communities and responding to emergencies. They primarily target remote communities within hunger pockets that have been designated as “serious” or higher by the Global Hunger Index. In addition to providing those communities with food resources, they work within the communities to find ways to fight their food and nutrition insecurities internally as well. How can we help? On Sunday, October 20th we will partner with Unionville and Bethany Presbyterian Churches to pack 10,000 nutritionally dense shelf stable meals to support Rise Against Hunger’s efforts. We will gather together at Doe Run for worship at 10:00 am and then move to Fellowship Hall to pack meals before sharing a fellowship meal together. Many hands make light work! If you’d like to financially support this effort, checks can be placed in the offering plate made out to Doe Run Presbyterian Church with “RAH” or “Rise Against Hunger” in the memo line. It’s hard work, a good cause, and excellent fellowship. What a great day!

Women’s Bible Study

 Join us in the fall for our study of the book, The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels. Please contact Deb Leonhard for more information or a copy of the book.

Fall Bible Study on the Book of John

We’ve been invited to join UPC’s fall Bible study unlocking the hidden depths of John’s Gospel. John’s Gospel offers readers a new language―of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”―that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith. With her characteristic wit and charm, Amy-Jill Levine introduces readers to the world of the Gospel of John by unpacking the stories in their original context, along with examining how the text is read today. This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God. Unionville Presbyterian Church, Thursdays, Sept. 19-Oct. 24, 9:30-11:30 a.m. $25 (Scholarships are available)

Adult Sunday School: 

Join us on Sunday, as we continue our Adult Sunday School Class at 9:00 am in the Fellowship Hall. Our curriculum is titled “Worship in the Covenant Community”, a part of the Present Word series. Over the course of the year we will move through three units: Leaders Set Worship Example, Songs of the Old Testament, and Psalms of Thanksgiving and Praise. Bill Dyke will lead this class.

Volunteers Needed:

The Fellowship Committee is looking for volunteers to assist with Sunday morning coffee hours. We all enjoy the fruit of the teams’ labors, but would like to add a few more people to the teams! If you would be interested in helping out by providing goodies with a team once every 7 weeks, please contact Lathea Moskel. Many hands make light work!

Boy Scouts:

Boy Scout Troop 48 meets every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.  Did you know that you can recycle your scrap metal and support our local Boy Scout troop at the same time? Visit “Scouting for Scrap Metal—Boy Scout Troop 48” on Facebook, or speak with Jake Hewson, to discuss ways that your junk can help fund Scout projects. This is especially relevant to us as one of the troop members is working on his Eagle Scout project right here at Doe Run—building steps and a handrail to make our fire pit area more accessible. 

Splinter’s Group Gathering:

On the first Friday of each month the Splinters Women’s Fellowship will gather in Fellowship Hall at 11:15.  There will be devotionals and a brief business meeting.  Bring a sandwich cut into four pieces to share with others.   Come join us for the fun and fellowship.
