On Monday, April 15, anyone (and everyone) is invited to a discussion and conversation about “next steps” as it relates to our connection with our immediate neighborhood. This conversation will pick up where the Neighborhood Prayer Group left off. As you might remember, a Neighborhood Prayer Group met every Monday from early February through Palm Sunday to pray for our neighborhood. In our attempt to be “good neighbors” in our immediate environment and to build connections with those who share this space with us, we want to keep this mission and purpose ever before us. Any decision we, as a church, make regarding anything formal or official will made through the church council. We envision this kind of a meeting to be one that keeps the conversation going as we seek to discern how and where God might be leading us. If you’re interested, join us in the Disciples Room at 5:00 p.m.
Do you knit, crochet or use a loom? The volunteers of the Prayer Shawl Ministry donate their time and talent to make prayer shawls, hats and pocket prayers shawls. We meet the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30pm in the Connection Cafe.
Please come and join us! We have patterns available for most skill levels and will be happy to help you get started. Contact the church office for more information.
