What Has Formed Me: Interview about Faith and Life

May 1 and May 22

Church Lounge

Leader: Pastor Chris

We have all been influenced by our life experiences. Each of us has important stories to tell. Join us on these two Wednesdays as we hear the stories that have shaped the faith of two different friends in our congregation.

Thinking Biblically About Immigration

May 15 and May 22

Room 305

As a congregation, we have been finding news ways to support and welcome immigrants into our church and community. This class will use a combination of Scripture and facts about immigration law and the process of immigration to create a discussion about why, as Christians, this topic is so important. There are many differing views on how to handle immigrants in the United States. While we won’t solve any cultural problems in this class, we hope to offer a place for concerns and questions to be met with respect and conversations to lead to a better understanding for each of us.

Becoming a Love and Logic Parent

April 10 - May 22

6:15 - 7:45 p.m. Room 106

Leaders: Kelly & Matt Johnston

Come away from this class with some specific strategies and practical suggestions to lower stress and make parenting more enjoyable. Class size is limited, please call the church office to sign up. A fee of $12/person or $20/couple is charged to offset the cost of materials. Financial assistance is available.

Following Jesus

May 1 - May 22

Section 3

Leader: Allen Horstman

Your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service... This is what we have to offer Jesus, but how do you begin to use these offerings as you follow him? Join us for the second and third segments of this Bible study as we explore scripture that will lead us into a deeper relationship with God and more passionate faith.
