Faith and Finance Presents: The Gift of Preparation

As part of our ongoing "Faith and Finance" series, we invite you to a special two-part educational workshop focused on preparing for the future with clarity and peace of mind.

Join us on Sunday for our second session, where licensed counselor Anne Swartz will present "Peace of Mind for You, A Gift of Clarity for Your Family". During this second session, you will learn the importance of pre-planning for cremation and burial, recognizing it as a profound gift to your loved ones. Together, these workshops provide a holistic approach to safeguarding your family and exploring end-of-life planning.

Step into an amazing theme in the Bible spanning from Genesis to Revelation, the Tree of Life. Below you will find a video from The Bible Project and an infographic to help to dive deeper.

NEW First Connect Class: Just Jesus

Are you looking for a space to deepen your faith while connecting more meaningfully with your church family? We would love for you to join us for "Just Jesus," a special four-week gathering designed to help us grow closer to Christ—and to one another.

Using a beautiful curriculum created in partnership with Union Presbyterian Seminary, this class is less about lectures and more about journeying together. We will sit down each week to take a fresh, honest look at the scriptures that tell the story of Jesus's life and ministry.

Through open conversation and shared reflection, we’ll explore Jesus’s deep passion for building God’s justice right here on earth. As we support one another in these discussions, our hope is to gently move past the comfortable, familiar pictures of Christ we might be used to, and uncover a deeper, life-changing understanding of who he is calling us to be today.

Whether you’re a lifelong student of the Bible or just looking for a welcoming place to ask questions and share your thoughts, there is a seat at the table for you. We can’t wait to share this time together!

Facilitators: Susan DeWyngaert and Dave Householder

Dates: April 26, May 3, 10 &17

Time: 10:05 AM – 10:55 AM

Location: Room 203
