Sunday Morning Worship
Sundays at 10:00am, Outdoors and via Zoom
Join us for outdoor worship in the Rousseau-Tanner yard every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. If it rains, we will move to the sanctuary. There will always be a Zoom option and we will email a song sheet each Sunday morning for anyone who would like to follow along from home.
Sunday School with Karen Nell
Christian Explorers will gather with their Sunday school friends on the Prayground. Following the service, they will gather by the church office, visit the children’s herb garden, and spend time in fellowship.
Absorbing the Warmth of Community and the Sun
Mondays at noon in a sunny (or shady) spot on our campus
The weather is fine! The conversation is inspiring! The group is caring! Join us every Monday (unless it rains). We’ll pick sun or shade depending on the weather.
Book Group with Karen Nell
Mondays at 4:00pm via Zoom
This month we read Wish You Were There by Jodi Picoult. When the coronavirus interrupts Diana’s career, relationship and vacation plans, she finds herself alone and stranded in the Galápagos—days before her thirtieth birthday. Picoult’s new book promises to be “a powerfully evocative story of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit.” You can read more about it here. The group reads about 100 pages a week, then meets for an hour or so on Zoom with questions to spark our discussion. New members are most welcome; join us for interesting reading, spirited conversation and lots of laughter! Contact Karen Nell for the reading assignment and questions for reflection.
Lunch Bunch
First and third Wednesdays at noon (6/1, 6/15 AND 6/29)
As we wait for local COVID numbers to go down (please!), we will delay our special take-out meal until the fifth Wednesday (June 29). On that day, if it is safe to do so, we will share a meal from one of the new restaurants in Saxonville. Watch for more details and to sign up. In the meantime, we will gather on June 1 and June 15 outdoors at noon. For those two gatherings, please bring your own lunch.
Bible Study Revels in Jesus’ Love!
Second and fourth Wednesdays at 4:30pm (6/8 and 6/22)
The Wednesday evening Bible Study is continuing our study of John’s gospel. This month we will read Jesus’ farewell address to his disciples, delivered at their last supper together. It is a love letter to them—and also to us. We will gather outdoors and via Zoom. Please join us!
Flowers and Fluff of Hope and Healing with Fran Bogle
Thursdays at 1:00pm via Zoom
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
OCCASIONAL THURSDAYS at at 6:30pm
Join us as 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 gain some skills to use in your own mindfulness practice. Rick plans to host a few classes during the summer. Watch for more details!
Bible Study with Karen Nell Smith
Fridays at 4:00pm via Zoom
