Upcoming Events

April 30 | 6:30 PM
Psalm Writing
​​​
Our Ancestors were no strangers to deep emotion, and psalms were a frequent form used to express deep joy, sorrow, hope, and everything in between. In this workshop--led by Pastor Alexis and Linda Wisniewski--you will be guided through a process that helps you pour out the fullness of what you are carrying, while grounding yourselves in the steadfast care of our Creator.

May 3 | 9:00 AM
Breath, Sound, & Movement Workshop
​​​
Join us for a guided experience to reconnect, body and spirit, through breath, sound, and movement—three tools always within reach. We’ll gently tune into the body, move emotions through, and create space to shift your internal state, so you can arrive to worship more present, open, and receptive to whatever comes next. Designed for all mobility levels, this session offers a grounded space to slow down, honor what’s alive in you, and return to yourself with more ease. We will meet in the Conference Room.

May 10 & 17 | 9:00 AM
Faithful Followers (Adult Study Group)
​​
2-Session Focus: "Making the Sausage"
Have you ever wondered who decided to include which writings in the Bible? And how and when these decisions were made? This 2-session study led by Claude & Donna Dencler will include short video presentations and discussion questions to help you better understand how the Old and New Testament “canons” (collections of sacred texts) were created.
