Sunday Morning Worship
Sundays at 10:00am, Outdoors and/or via Zoom
Join us for outdoor worship every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. We will email a song sheet each Sunday morning for anyone who would like to follow along.
Sunday School with Karen Nell
Outdoor Sundays after worship
The children will gather after worship for a lesson, story, or activity, and spend some time with their church friends.
Absorbing the Warmth of Community and the Sun
Mondays at noon in a sunny (or shady) spot on our campus
Come enjoy the warmth of community, absorb a little sunshine, and share in conversation and prayer. If it’s raining, we will not gather.
Book Group with Karen Nell Smith
Mondays at 4:00pm
We’re reading The Good Good Pig by Sy Montgomery through October 4. It’s a delightful book; you can read more about it here.
On October 11 we start Harlem Shuffle, a new book by Colson Whitehead. This “ingenious story plays out in a beautifully recreated New York City of the early 1960s. It’s a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem.” Read more here. We pace ourselves reading about 100 pages a week, then meet for an hour or so on Zoom with questions to spark our discussion. There will be no Monday book group on October 18. New members are most welcome—join us for interesting reading, spirited conversation and lots of laughter! Contact Karen Nell for the Zoom invitation, reading assignment and questions for reflection
Picnic Lunch Bunch with Debbie
First and third Wednesdays at noon (10/6, 10/20)
Weather-permitting, Lunch Bunch will continue to meet outdoors this fall, gathering in the shade near Edwards Hall. In case of rain, we will move onto the office porch.
Outdoor Hybrid Bible Study
Second and Fourth Wednesdays at 4:30pm (10/13, 10/27)
The Wednesday evening Bible Study has just begun our study of the Gospel According to John. Already we are in awe of the glorious poetry and the unique set of questions John raises. We are only just getting started; it’s not too late to join in. We are currently experimenting with an outdoor hybrid model. You can come in person and join us near or on the porch of the office building, or you can join via Zoom. We’ll figure out what to do next when it gets cold!
“Flowers and Fluff of Hope and Healing“ with Fran Bogle
Thursdays at 1:00pm
This group begins with nature photos as a jumping off place for people to share stories and prayers. Participants are welcome to share their own photos and prayer moments connected to nature. Email Fran (fbog@aol.com) if you would like to join.
Music Appreciation with Rick
Thursdays at 6:30pm
Throughout our virtual period, Rick Seaholm has been talking music on Thursday evenings, and new learners are always welcome. No music knowledge is required. We talk about composers, their works, and the many patterns that emerge when you look at music across the centuries. You will get exposed to score reading and critical listening, and hopefully take some skills which you might be able to use in your own mindfulness practice.
Bible Study with Karen Nell Smith
Fridays at 4:00pm
All are welcome to join us in this continuation of our Sunday morning Bible Study group. Each week we gather to check in with each other, read the scripture for the upcoming Sunday morning service, reflect, share and pray. Please email Karen Nell (choresis@comcast.net) for an invitation to join the group.
