Recap Women’s Group Starts the New Testament

Kick-off Get Together - Friday, October 2 at 7pm

We would love to have new and returning Bible readers join us for the New Testament reading plan through the end of 2026. We will have a kick off get-together Friday, October 2 at 7:00pm (location to be determined) and monthly Saturday morning gatherings for fellowship and discussion (at Grace)

This is a low pressure way to develop a Bible-reading habit, learn about God’s character, and embrace opportunities to meditate on Scripture with other women. Grace is a given for self-pacing with the reading plan and all are welcome!

See Danielle Gliko or Kathy Schmit for details or find the group on the Church app below.

Join Discussion Group

Alpha Course

Gathering Interest - Contact Pastor Mark

Alpha is a safe place to ask some of the deepest questions of life, faith and meaning. It is a free, interactive series of 11 sessions designed to help people explore the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, open, and non-judgmental environment. Everyone is welcome, regardless of beliefs. We have a meal together, then watch a video together that helps us to discuss the issues we each face in our lives. Everyone and all questions are welcome!

This is designed for those in the community as well as those in the church. If you or anyone you know might have an interest contact Pastor Mark. We are considering starting a group later in September if there is interest.

Contact Pastor Mark

Fall Baptism

We are planning for a fall Baptism and Membership Service. If you would like to be baptized or to join the church please talk to Pastor Aaron ASAP so we can be sure to get you in! Contact Pastor Aaron.
