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.

July, 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™. Hope Ride Water Station - July 26 - 10:00 AM On Thursday July 26th, Beaver Church has volunteered to man a water station for the Ohio Hope Ride, a bike ride across Ohio to raise money for the Hope Lodges in Ohio and cancer research in general. We need at least 10 people for the event. We will be handing out a signup sheet, as we get closer to the event. We will be meeting in Xenia at 10:00am on the 26th at “Xenia Station”, located at 150 South Miami Avenue, Xenia, OH 45385. All you need to bring is yourself. Barbecue Lunch at Pastor Brian’s Home - July 28 - 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM On Saturday July 28th, I will be hosting a church barbecue at our house from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Burgers and dogs will be provided; please bring a side dish if you can. If you want to bring anything to drink or something extra for the grill, feel free to do so. Come enjoy the summer fun, some good food, and some wonderful fellowship. Our house is located in the Oregon District downtown at 236 Green St. There is usually plenty of parking in the neighborhood nearby our house. Sign Project Update First and foremost, many thanks to all who have supported our fundraiser this year for fixing our sign and adding an LED system to it. As stated during the annual meeting, the estimated cost for this project was between $5,000 and $10,000. We have currently raised almost $7,000 and have enough to proceed with the project. We will not know the exact cost until we finish, but any left over funds will go towards other church maintenance projects. We are currently putting together all of the documents and drawings needed to receive permits from the county. We need to do this before we can really start. Hopefully we will be done with this part soon and can then start the actual work on the sign. Again, thank you to all who donated and are helping with this project. 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. |
