Our congregation is composed of people from all walks of life who come together to offer healing and comfort, learning and encouragement, much like a family. We welcome all, and believe that extravagant hospitality is central to the role of the church.
At Beaver UCC, we help our members grow spiritually, while at the same time understanding that everyone has their own spiritual path. Our church is a place where you can think for yourself and differing views are respected. It is our hope that through education, fellowship, and service we can, as a community, come closer to God and each other.
In all things we seek to offer an atmosphere of informality, spontaneity, fellowship, and fun. We hope our church is a place where all feel both welcome and comfortable.

September, 2018, Events and Announcements
Listen to Pastor Brian's Sermons When available, Pastor Brian's sermons are posted on our website by Thursday each week. Sermons are available on The Pastor's Page™. Choir Resuming - September 2 The choir will be starting up again, and I know we are all looking forward to that. Choir practice will begin after service on Sunday September 2nd at noon. We will have practice every Sunday after that at noon. The choir will start singing in service on September 9th. As stated every year, all, and yes that means you, are invited to sing in the choir. You don’t have to read music, or even sing well, all you have to do is want to sing. United Church Homes Golf Outing - September 14 - 8:00 AM You are invited to participate in the United Church Homes golf tournament on Sept. 14th. This is a fundraiser for the organization that runs several of our UCC nursing homes including Trinity here in Beavercreek. The tournament will be at Beavercreek Golf Club and start at 8:00 am on Friday September 14th with breakfast. The cost per player is $100 and includes breakfast, 18 holes, and lunch. The registration deadline for the tournament is September 1st. Online Registration September/October Video Series: Welcoming The Other We will watch 3 episodes of the Netflix TV show “Queer Eye”, rated TV-14. This show nominated for 4 Emmys is a show about five gay men who go to help others to dress better, cook better, and decorate their houses etc. On the surface this might seem like a shallow show, but the show has dived deeply into important issues such as self-worth, coming together, and welcoming the stranger. In today’s world of division, a show that brings different people together in a meaningful way is a great thing to see. We will be watching one episode and discussing it each Tuesday for 3 weeks, starting Tuesday September 18th, and ending Tuesday October 2nd. Each Tuesday we will show the episode twice, once at 1:00 PM and once at 7:00 PM in the fellowship hall. Each episode is about 45 minutes long. Sunday School Resuming - September 9 We will resume our Sunday school programs for both youth and adults on Sunday, September 9th. Sunday School details are here. Cookie Walk Volunteers Dear bakers, and even people who can sort of bake something. Beaver church needs your help again this year. The church will be doing a cookie walk fundraiser again in November of this year. For those who don’t know what that is, it involves us baking a whole bunch of cookies and then people buying them from us. They get to fill a box for a certain amount of money, and they walk down a long selection of cookies and pick whichever ones they want to fill the box. We felt it would be a good idea to have people start signing up for this now, to give people time to bake and freeze cookies etc. Look for a sign-up sheet at the back of the church in May. Each signup spot is volunteering to bake 5-dozen of a particular cookie. Once cookies are baked they can be frozen for many months and we have a freezer at the church if you don’t have room in yours. |
