Sunday Adult Forum
Sundays at 9:15am
Join us in the sanctuary to discuss a range of topics, from family life concerns to spirituality and world religions, led by Interim Pastor Kristi, members and guest speakers. A schedule of discussions is below.
Schedule of Topics NOV 6 “Ghosts from the Nursery: How our experiences in the first three years of life shape our adult lives”. Neuroscience and psychology studies show abuse and neglect in the early years literally change the way the brain develops. This raises questions about parenting styles, early childhood education, and early intervention services for our youngest at-risk children. NOTE: I AM NOT A DOCTOR, so I'll be presenting the information as I understand it as a parent and layperson. Led by Amanda Eklund. NOV 13 “Why do humans want to explore outer space?---What has been accomplished and what's next?” led by Juan Roederer NOV 20 “Theological and Liturgical Similarities and Differences between Lutherans and Catholics ” ever wonder what the similarities and differences are? Come find out in this informative, light-hearted discussion led by Susi Doyle Larson.
NOV 27 “TBA” led by Pastor Kristi?
DEC 4 Ministry Site Profile Review and Q & A on the Call Process led by Alaska Bishop Don Maier
during the 10:30 service each Sunday. Sorry it's not available during the summer.
Children's Church is a time for little ones, ages 3 through 13 to leave the sanctuary and talk about the lesson of the day in a manner that is easier for young ones to understand. Children sometimes sing, talk about great things that have happened in their lives, pray about sad things that have happened, and relate all of these to the Gospel or lesson of the day and week.
This social time is for anyone. Join in for wonderful food and great conversation. You're welcome to stay for Confirmation, a meeting or choir!
Spirited discussions and great friendship are the hallmarks of this delightful group that meets every Thursday at noon with their bag lunch. Topics are wide ranging from political issues to Bible studies. Group members share in the leadership. People on the senior side of life are invited to become a part of this lively group.
In the past we’ve read Life Among the Lutherans by Garrison Keillor, discussed The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen, The Healing of America by T. R. Reid, the ELCA’s Statement on Human Sexuality, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Year of Plenty byCraig L. Goodwin.
The women's group meets once a month (usually the 2nd Saturday at 9am) for fellowship, studying God's word, and good food.
Our next Women's Breakfast and Bilble Study is November 19th!
Join us! Bring a dish to share and your Bible.
The outreach the group does is support ministries throughout the world through our once a year, Thank Offering. We support a young woman through Global Missions in India. We Adopt a Family through Love, Inc. which helps to make a families Christmas a little brighter. We help out with Love Inc.'s gift bazaar.
Our holiday bake sale and our spring garage sale funds go to helping out these and others in need.
This group is temporarily not meeting but hope to resume soon.
This is a small group that is using a contemplative program of centering prayer. This type of prayer encourages a deep and thoughtful engagement with God.
We meet Tuesdays at 4:30 at the home of Beth Butcher. Please contact the church for more information and directions. Please note that Beth does have a cat.
