Faith in Motion

Saturday, 9:00am

Faith in Motion

We are a group of women united by our love of the Lord, our desire to view life through the lens of laughter & joy, and our love of respectful, spirited conversations about topics of faith, current events, work, and family.  We regularly engage in study of the Bible and faith-related topics - but also seek out opportunities to put our "faith in motion" through community service and outreach activities.

We use books and/or online video resources to guide our Bible studies, based on the recommendations of the church or our own mutual interests.  We will schedule serving activities around our study schedule.  Decisions about who and where we serve will be based on community needs and suggestions from our own group members.  We will begin meeting again in the Fall - on Saturday, September 15th - and would love for you to join us on Saturday mornings!  Contact Sheila Coleman at .

JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion)
JEDI Book Club includes eight monthly classes exploring race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual identity, abilities, age, and national origin. Participants are responsible for reading six secular books, watching one film, and investigating how these factors currently impact our lives, church, and community. The workshop is set up to be experiential, interactive, and discussion-based. Each class is designed to

  • first focus on the issues of the text assigned for that class session (reflection on the text),
  • then focus on the connections of the text to our lives, church, and community (the text in our lives),
  • and finally, focus on how the equity issues of the text are addressed in the Bible (going beyond the text).

The class is based on The SEED Project on Inclusive Curriculum, originally designed by Peggy McIntosh and Emily Styles.

Pickleball - Beginners to Intermediates

Pickleball - Beginners to Intermediates
Sept-May:  Tues/Thurs 12:45-2 PM
Jun-Aug: Tues/Thurs 10-11:30 AM

Do you enjoy Pickleball or are interested in learning how to play? This is a great place to learn and enjoy the company of others!

This group is for beginners up to intermediates.  Our leader will teach you the rules and the strokes you will need. Once you have practiced the strokes, you will get into game play - usually in the first session. For the slightly more experienced player, our leader will periodically give you skills to work on before game play begins. All sessions will always include game play.

There is no charge to participate, but we will collect a free will offering. Most players make donations to our food pantry. Questions? Call Doug Semisch (402) 415-4809.
