Dates: Beginning Sunday, February 9
Time: 10:00–10:50 AM
Place: Upstairs above the Narthex
Coffee. Because adulting is hard.
Are you one of our adults looking for a place where coffee and friends make the perfect blend? A place to espresso yourself? Having conversations of faith, life today, what’s happening in your world, all fueled by coffee and good company?
Then we have a new Adult Education class for you, Caffeinated Conversation! Beginning Sunday, February 9, we will meet upstairs above the Narthex at 10:00–10:50 AM between services and during Kids Sunday School (for those of you who are parents).
Here you can settle in with your coffee or tea and goodies from downstairs as we begin a journey of faith and fellowship together in a comfy, casual setting where everyone can feel they belong.
Spilling the beans with friends on Sunday morning is a great way to begin your week. It’s what you might call one of God’s little perks! Join us!

Join us for Sounds of Christmas: A Carol Sing-Along and Talent Showcase! This festive gathering is open to everyone—come sing along to traditional carols and, if you’d like, share your own musical talent during the showcase.
Click the button below where you can sign up to perform. If you need accompaniment, simply note that on the form and Scott or Charis will be happy to play for you. You can also view others’ submissions to help decide what song you’d like to offer.

Sign Up Here

(Repeats are fine… though hearing Mary, Did You Know three times in a row might test Charis’ sanity! :D)
Even if you don’t plan to perform, we hope you’ll come enjoy an evening filled with music and community.
Everyone is encouraged to bring goodies or sweets to share in the Narthex afterward.
A huge thanks to Scott for dreaming up and championing this wonderful idea! We can’t wait to see the talent and joy you bring to this celebration.
