SUMMARY:2025 Lenten Study
DESCRIPTION:Join a Lenten Study Group! Each year for the season of Lent\, we invite the community to participate in a book study that helps prepare our hearts and minds for Easter — the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord\, Jesus. This year\, we will be reading From Wilderness to Glory by N.T. Wright which contain daily devotions that start on Ash Wednesday and walk all the way through Holy Week! Join us on this adventure of experiencing Lent anew! Click this link for more information and to join a group for discussion and community building. Questions? Contact Pastor Chris Baldwin for more information. \nStudy Glimpse: The church has always known that the best way for us to be shaped into the people God wants us to be — the people whose difference from the world around is vital to our witness — is to think and pray slowly and carefully through the stories of Jesus’ life\, death and resurrection. In From Wilderness to Glory\, best-selling and beloved author N. T. Wright encourages readers to do just that throughout the seasons of Lent and Easter. Join us for a season of study and reflection by reading these daily devotions in a small group or read it on your own. \n2025 Lenten Study Groups:\n1. Jeff Eyet — Open to All (Sundays\, 11:15am-12:15pm — Limit: 8-12 people)\n2. Cliff Smith — Open to All (Sundays\, 6:30-8:00pm —  Limit: 8-12 people)\n3.

SUMMARY:Praying the Psalms: How do we pray in times such as these?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays October 23 – November 13\, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.\, in the Chapel \nWanting to go more in depth with your own prayer life? Then join Pastor Jane to explore the prayers in the book of Psalms which speak to the vast expanse of human experience and emotion (from lament and rage to joy and praise). With the current turmoil and chaos in our world\, the psalms give us words to pray. They teach us how to tell our story\, cry out in pain\, and show us ways to move towards praise and gratitude for God’s faithfulness\, the community around us\, and the beauty of the created world. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Alpha Series: Fall 2024
DESCRIPTION:Following Worship\, 11:15 am – 12:30 pm\, Davies Room \nSundays\, September 15 – November 24 (dates below) \nWhat is Alpha?: Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What’s the purpose of life? What’s next? If you’re looking for a judgment-free space to ask hard questions and share your own opinion\, there’s a place for you. \nVideo Series: \nWeek 1 – Sep 15 – “Who Is Jesus? \nWeek 2 – Sep 29 – “Why Did Jesus Die?” \nWeek 3 – Oct 13 – “How Can I Have Faith?” \nWeek 4 – Oct 27 – “Why and How Do I Pray?” \nWeek 5 – Nov 10 – “Why and How Should I Read the Bible?” \nWeek 6 – Nov 24 – “How Does God Guide Us?” \nCourse Experience: Following the worship service\, the group watches the videos together and then has breakout conversations about faith. The hope is for people to begin making themselves aware of God in the world and their everyday lives. \nQuestions? Contact Michelle Browning. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Stephen Ministry Workshop: The Presence of Grief Throughout Life
DESCRIPTION:The Stephen Ministers invite you to join them on Saturday\, April 27 in the Oak Room from 8:45 a.m. to noon for a workshop led by Pastor Jane Mackenzie. We’ll be focusing on The Presence of Grief Throughout Life. Most often\, we think of grief at the death of a loved one\, but there are many other types of loss which wrench our emotions. Grief can be ambiguous when prompted by the loss of a job or income\, loss of identity\, divorce\, loss of community\, or a newly empty nest. We can also experience anticipatory grief due a cancer diagnosis\, a terminal illness\, or in caring for a loved one with declining cognitive capabilities. Grief is a normal part of life and a response to having to let go when we don’t want to let go.  It is also an invitation to spiritual renewal and healing.  Join us for a conversation on how we compassionately sit with ambiguous and anticipatory grief in our own lives and the lives of others\, and lean into God’s promise of hope and wholeness. Please register by April 24. \nBlue Button Align Left
