Volunteers are also needed to make coffee, fill up hot water urn, cut donuts in half and place on platters, ice down cold drinks, place plates, napkins and donation basket on table.  At the end of Fellowship time, help is also needed to empty coffee pots and hot water dispenser, wash any dishes, and place items back into refrigerator.

Adult Sunday School: Resuming on Sunday July 18, 2021

Please join us at 9:00 on Sunday mornings.  Please contact Ed to connect via Zoom.

Nature: Our First Way of Knowing God

Presented by Beth Norcross Join the adult Sunday School as we study Nature: Our First Way of Knowing God, a seven-session small group Bible study from the Lewis Center for Church Leadership, associated with Wesley Seminary. A summary from the publisher:

No longer can we simply ask, “What can we do to get people to come to our church?” We must also consider, “How can we go into the world to encounter those in need of the gospel?” Nature: Our First Way of Knowing God includes videos, discussion questions, and a suggested spiritual practice in nature for each week that can be done either individually or as a group.

It’s time to get back into the classroom!
