- First Tuesday of Each Month: Senior's Breakfast Club: The first Tuesday or the month approximately 12-16 senior citizens meet at nine o'clock a.m. for breakfast at the Park Ridge Cafe on Church Street. There are those who are single or have spouses--it makes no difference. We spend an hour with prayer, sharing, making new friends, and just having fun! Dorothy Tiede has been leading this group for the past eight years and generally brings special stories, jokes, and bits of wisdom. All are Welcome!
- Women's Book Club:Thursdays at 3:00 p.m. Currently we are meeting at Brookdale.
- Social Justice Advocacy Committee: We have our own page! Hover over "Going to Serve" on the menu to be taken to the Social Justice Advocacy page.
- Wednesday Night: This year we are offering a few new options for those who wish to dive deeper into their understanding of the Bible and how one’s faith intersects with one’s everyday life. Like last year, our Confirmation class will be involved, but they will have their own conversation group while adults and young adults will have their own small groups. Wednesdays will have the following opportunities:
Messy Church: This is an all-generations gathering that explores a verse/story of the Bible through activities: art, conversation, journaling, experimentation. The night begins with the Bible verse/story and brief conversation, then folks are invited to go to as many different stations as desired: maybe just one, maybe all the options that night. Each station will have a different way to explore aspects of that Bible Verse to help us apply the Word to our Lives. Exploring the Word in Community = Church (just a bit messier than Sundays!) Messy Church will be the first Wednesday of each month (September’s first gathering is an exception to this rule as this is Orientation night for the classes).
M&M Nights: Yes, you read that right: M&Ms! And we don’t just mean the candy (but there will be some of that as well).
Dan Erlander wrote an extensive retelling of the Bible, focusing on God's grace and never-ending love for humanity. Manna and Mercy is a book about God—more specifically the God of the Bible who is present and active in human history and all creation. Using Jesus' life, death, and resurrection as our guide, we will journey through all of Scripture to reclaim its message of life, justice, and inclusion for all people.
On M&M nights, we will begin as a large group (Confirmands and adults) to review that night’s reading (yes, there is homework). Then the Confirmands and Adults will split up into their own small groups for conversation, discussion, questions and contemplation. We will come back together at the end for community prayer. M&M will happen twice a month (most months) until we wrap up in February (just before Lent). This is an opportunity to let the Word break open into your life in a way, perhaps, it never has before now.
CTM: Conversations that Matter:
This is open to members of the Beloved Community, but also to anyone interested in the issue/topic. We plan to bring in speakers (either in person or via video) with a wider grasp of the topic to bring about a fruitful conversation. Mark your calendars and invite your friends.
