Social & Learning Opportunities
Game Night & Communion Bread and Wine Tasting – 2/6 Join us Monday night, 2/6, at 7:00 in the fellowship hall, for some fellowship and fun as we play games and do some thoughtful communion bread and wine tasting. Bring a bottle to share or suggest. We’ll rank our favorites and discuss pairing them with seasons of the church year, for some fun! We'll also sample some different communion bread options for possible use in the future, in place of the wafers.

Weekly Bible study Thursdays, 7:30-8:30pm on Zoom, led by Pastor Brett. (Zoom link here!) We're reading together the book of Acts from the New Testament. Feel free to join in whenever you can - no prior experience or continuity is required. See you Thursday nights! You can use any online Bible to follow along (a simple NRSV, same translation we use in worship, is here: bible.oremus.org), or recommended print Bibles include the Harper Collins Study Bible and Lutheran Study Bible (with the blue cover, published by Augsburg Fortress).
Kids & Parents:
Sunday school for grade school children is on the first and third Sundays of each month, 9:00-9:45, meets in the fellowship hall. Please let Pastor Brett know if your child plans to participate so that we can plan.
Little Lutherans, a gathering for parents and littles, infant to Pre-K meets on the second Sunday of each month, 9:00-9:45, starting October 9. Little Lutherans will provide fellowship for parents and some simple ways to talk about and start growing faith in your little ones.
If you are an adult who might be interested in leading, helping, or teaching (or learning how) adults, kids, or youth, please also reach out to Pastor Brett.
If you haven't already, parents of kids infant through school age, please complete our parent survey here, to help us plan for group sizes, children's ages and interest. This fall for all ages we'll be using the excellent Manna and Mercy curriculum, which uses excellent theology, engaging lessons, and real-life application, to learn the story of the Bible and our faith.
Study Guides & Resources
On our Read & Explore Faith page there are a few blog entries on various topics, which also point in the direction of further resources. We've also (just) started a Goodreads page to share reviews of different books - detail here.
Early in the summer we had two one-session topic studies - on topics which, given current events, our wider church has encouraged us to study our denomination's statements and faith perspective/resources on. Pastor Brett created a study guide for self study or learning more about each topic: Abortion and Community Violence.
