Special Events |
| Seekers and Joiners Class
Classes run two consecutive Sundays and are held at 9:30 am (during Sunday school). This is an opportunity for new and prospective members to learn about the church and meet others who are also new in the congregation. Communicant's Class Communicant's classes are conducted as needed. Mentoring is the method we use to match each seeker with a covenant partner. The covenant partner is a mature member of the church who accompanies the seeker through a study of Luke, a service project, and faith experiences (interviews with three church members). Communicant's seekers are usually 7th grade and older.
Lenten Luncheons Held Wednesdays in March and April. These are ecumenical community events with speakers from various churches. Vacation Bible School Conducted each summer. Designed to be fun with a lot of child participation activities. |
