For the fall we are offering five opportunities to grow deeper in the Christian Faith.
Care for Others. The Christian call is to care for others in need. Deacon Jan Halstead’s passion for pastoral care and mission is the class she will be teaching.
Lectionary Study. What are we hearing in Scripture at worship for the week to come? Join the discussion. We always ask: What would you like to hear the preacher say about these scriptures?
Bible Study and Spiritual Practices.
The Tuesday morning discussion group will continue their study on Tuesday, November 19. They are reading the book Small Victories by Anne Lamott. The group is self led and involves much lively discussion. All are welcome to join on Tuesdays from 10:30 am to noon. If you have questions please contact Carol Monroe (
