HARVEST FEST SEPTEMBER 7

 

On Saturday, September 7th, the Stanley Union Church will be hosting a community outreach project whose purpose is to bring the light of Jesus to people who might not otherwise enter the doors of a church on Sunday.

Dedication Day March 17, 2013

This was a wonderful day in the life of the Stanley Union Church. A near capacity crowd gathered to be witnesses and supporters of the Dedication of the Building to the Lord. Here are a few pictures from that memorable day...

The following article was on the cover of the Mountain View Telegraph this week:

Dedicating faith

by Rory McClannahan | Mar 14, 2013 | Filed under: News

More and more churches in urban areas are backing off denominational labels.

It's something the Stanley Union Church did more than 100 years ago. The reasoning for the Stanley church to be open to those of all faiths came about more from necessity than a desire to fill the pews.
"There were lots of different churches in the early days," said Don King, a life-time member of the Stanley Union Church. "Eventually, they all ended and we were left."
Pastor John Nash, who's been on the job in Stanley for four years, put it even better.
"God's word has no denominations," he said.
Through the years, the church has been located in different buildings in the village, but since November, services have been held in a new 15,000-square-foot building.
A dedication ceremony will be held at the new church building on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
Although the church has about 90 members, its sanctuary can easily seat more. The church also has numerous classrooms.
Nash said the idea is to have a church that can serve its parishioners and well as handle growth.

 

A beautiful spring arrangement greeted the attendees.

This is the church foyer.

 

Three pastors gave a message this day.

Stanley Church has a heart for helping the community

John and Ginger volunteer at the Bethel Storehouse in Moriarty, New Mexico. Families who have found themselves down on their luck are able to come to Bethel and get food for their pantry. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, members of the congregation donated bags of groceries that were sent home with families for the holiday meals. Because of their missionary spirit, other members of the Stanley congregation have since begun to volunteer at Bethel Storehouse.
