The Chosen Small Groups
The Chosen is a biblically-centered, quality TV series that tracks the life of Jesus through the gospels. This fall (September-November) Diane McFalls is launching two small group opportunities (one in person, one on Zoom) to watch and discuss the life of Jesus in a fresh way, in conjunction with reading the gospels and interacting with others about it. All are welcome and invite a friend!
- Register or get more info on the in person group which will meet from 6:45-8:45 pm Mondays at the McFalls House.
- Register or get more info on the virtual group which will meet Wednesdays on Zoom.
Volunteers Needed in the Nursery
Beginning this fall, we have an urgent need for volunteers to help care for our littlest of littles in the Nursery. Volunteers commit to one Sunday morning each quarter (or four times a year). This is one great way to fulfill the Baptismal vows we make to our young families. Background clearances are required, but we can help you with those applications. Questions or interested in helping volunteer, Jill Reichert, Director of Children & Family Ministries.
