The last year has been full of challenging sermons and we have covered issues that may have raised questions. You have questions, we want to talk them out.

Join Paul Needles and Steve Bagdanov as we grapple with the Big Words of the Bible and more.
This class starts October 8 and runs through October 29 at 6pm in the Fireside Room. You don’t need to sign up but you can do so here for our planning purposes: Prodigal Journey Registration

Project Unlonely

April 7- May 11 – 6:00pm Sanctuary
Are you lonely? If you find it tough to answer, you’re not alone. Loneliness often carries a stigma, making it hard to discuss openly. But the truth is that we all feel lonely from time to time. It’s part of being human. Think about loneliness not as a problem, but as a chance to get to know yourself better.
Through being curious about your own loneliness, you start a journey of self-discovery that can lead to stronger connections with both yourself and those around you. Being curious means asking where your loneliness comes from and what it feels like. Our goal is to keep your curiosity alive by sharing insights about loneliness and how it relates to you, the people you know, and society as a whole.
We hope you’ll gain a new perspective on your own experience with loneliness and how to navigate it!
