This is a great time to visit and get to know each other over coffee, juice and snacks.
The kids use this time to show off what they did in Sunday School and play with each other (on the playground as weather permits).
The Youth (7th -12th grade) tend to grab their snacks and head for the Youth Room to hang out until Mom or Dad are done.
Adult Sunday School
9:20am each week
Learning our faith and living it out are the two objectives in the Sunday Adult class. Whether we’re studying the Bible or spiritual practices, open discussion is the norm. We don’t want you to leave your mind at the door when you come to class. All perspectives welcome!
“Good God Questions” is the topic of our Sunday morning series. Guided by the reflections of Luther Seminary professors, we will talk about such questions as “Why is there suffering?” and “What about my child who has been baptized but doesn’t believe anymore?” Those will begin in February following our annual January meetings.
during the 10:30 service each Sunday
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.
We meet for early morning coffee and to read and discuss the coming Sunday’s texts in light of our own personal current events.
All are welcome no exceptions. We’ll have the coffee ready when you get here!
This social time is for anyone. Join in for a varied menu of tantalizing dishes and great conversation. You're welcome to stay for Confirmation, Adult Forum or choir!
On Wednesday evenings through Lent, we will be focusing on what it means to be “Transformed by the Cross” both in our 6:15 Adult Discussion Class and during worship at 7:00pm.
Our worship will feature a variety of settings with faith stories each week by members of our congregation. Those who will share their transformation stories include Mike Wheat, Karl Eklund, Laura Lease, Ed Albright and Kelsey Barnum.
In our first discussion, we’ll talk about the meaning of transformation. Succeeding discussions will focus on different signs of transformation:
Please join us on Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:30 for a pot luck supper followed by discussion and a brief Lenten WorshipEarthbound: Created & Called to Care for Creation
This adult study, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday nights in Lent, has been postponed and will now begin on April 7. I look forward to talking about caring for creation on Wednesday nights throughout April and May as Fairbanks begins to feel the warmth of springtime. -Intern Kim
Spirited discussions and great friendship are the hallmarks of this delightful group that meets every Thursday noon with their bag lunch. Topics are wide ranging from political issues to Bible studies. Pastor Susan, Intern Kim and group members share in the leadership. People on the senior side of life are invited to become a part of this lively group.
Our new study is “Have a Little Faith” by Mitch Albom.
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 is Saturday, March 13th at 9am
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.
4D-Days (pronounced like forty days) – This play on words stands for the purpose of this group of men and women in their 20s & 30s - Dinner, Discussion, Devotion, Discipleship. The group meets monthly, rotating its activities between theological discussion over dinner, service to our community, and fellowship with one another.
Our next meeting will be announced. All 20 and 30 somethings and their families are welcome. Please contact Intern Kim for more details.
