Growing with God: Early Childhood Faith Formation

Saturday, November 14 • 9:30-11:30am

The last time we were together, someone asked a question about anxiety and kids. There’s so much to unpack around anxiety in our culture, so we’ll talk about it as a group!

Save the Date: Holiday Festival

Saturday, December 12 • 10-11:30am

Mark your calendars for one of our favorite events of the year! We’ll decorate cookies, create ornaments, decorate cards for loved ones, and sing favorite Christmas songs! Please sign up HERE to RSVP and/or volunteer.

Save the Date: New Year's Retreat

Camp Koronis • Thursday, December 31-Saturday, January 2

We loved this retreat so much that we booked it again as soon as we came back after the holiday! There is no better way to relax after the busy holiday season than a retreat where someone else does the cooking and you just relax and enjoy both indoor and outdoor winter activities! Our accommodations are different from last year. We will have dorm style rooms and shared bathroom facilities. We’ll return to our hotel style accommodations in 2027 - it’s already booked!

Adults: $200. Kids under 18 are free! Click HERE to register.

Living The Questions

Sunday Mornings • 11:30am-12:30pm

On November 8th &15th we’ll dig into the life of Jesus and the ways that Jesus challenged the status quo. We’ll talk together about what we can learn from his prophetic life and how we can carry these lessons into our future.

This Sunday, November 8: Teens Help Lead Worship

Christmas Caroling

Sunday, December 13 • Carpool Leaves at 12:15pm • Walker Place

Let’s share some Christmas spirit! Many of our older congregation members live at Walker Place. This is a great opportunity for small and tall alike to enjoy some caroling, hot cocoa, and crafts with our older members. Plan to have brunch at church, then meet in the East Entry at 12:15pm to carpool over to Walker Place.

Youth Music Ensemble 

11:30-Noon • Grades 6-12 • Church of Youth

We’ll continue to meet weekly to learn music for engaging practice and lead worship at various times throughout the year. We are excited to learn compelling and challenging music, beginning with singing and branching out to other instruments as there is interest. Let’s add to our numbers and have a great time making great music!
