Wednesdays, 6-8pm
Sept 23-Dec 9

We help make spaces where people can freely explore the basics of the Christian faith together. Alpha helps create space for honest conversation around some of life’s biggest questions through a series of interactive sessions. The sessions are designed to provide guests with an opportunity to share thoughts, ideas and opinions in a safe and caring environment.

We'll meet at the church on Wednesdays from 6-8pm. Dinner and childcare provided.

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. And, we'll use Wesley's quadrilateral-reason, experience, scripture, tradition (REST)-for studying and responding.

• September 20 (Introduction) - excerpts from Outraged, ch 6 of Jesus is Lord

We are the Debbie Stranberg Memorial Mahjong Fellowship (DSMMF: Do Something to Make More Friends)!

Join us the second Tuesday of every month for a time of fellowship and fun as we gather to play Mahjong! This is a group for adult fellowship.

Please consider bringing food for the Food Pantry when you come.

This will be a weekly time for men to come together for coffee, fellowship  and conversation with a short devotional.  

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.
