Wednesday Wisdom will offer a wonderful space to bring your favorite book(s) or podcast to share with a web of wise women. Our intent is to discuss how these readings shape your way of knowing, offer new insights or perspectives and give you wisdom for these days.

We Need You!

We need YOU to help our workshop leaders with their workshops! We need more ADULT volunteers in the morning and the afternoon to keep us compliant with our safety policy and legal mandates for Camp Spark. We can also use as many youth volunteers as possible to help with workshops AND all of the transition times and connecting with the kids during lunch, snack times, etc. Morning help needed with: Drama, Dance, Percussion, and a fun “What’s THAT?” workshop designed to learn more about the church building and transitions. Afternoon help needed with: Baking, Art, Outreach – packing backpacks & lunches, and other presentations. No experience with those skills needed. Just a willingness to offer helping hands! Time is ticking! Click here to sign up and/or register your child(ren). Questions? Contact Cacila Rollet.
