Faith Formation

Discover Epiphany


The Church entered the season of Epiphany, the period between Christmas and Lent. Join us on Thursday morning from 9-10 at Java Central, 20 S. State St, to explore the meaning and how to observe this season in the church year. Contact person is Pastor Sigrid.

Wednesday Noon Book Study


The Wednesday noon book study will begin the book, Even After Everything by Stephanie Duncan Smith on January 15.


In Even After Everything, Duncan Smith traverses the church’s circle of time and reorients herself and us in the sacred story told through Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Ordinary Time. She reveals the sacred year—through its endless interplay of love, loss, risk, and resurrection—as a mirror to the human experience, an anchor for turbulent times, and a womb strong enough to encompass every human care.
