SUMMARY:Adult Forum
DESCRIPTION:Anchored in the theme\, “The Welcome of a Steadfast God: Inviting All the Questions\,” our learning will focus on the intersections of faith and daily life. Because each of us has experienced faith differently\, we each have our own story of places and experiences of God’s steadfast love. Through a variety of topics\, we will unpack and seek understanding of God’s presence and continued relationship with us. Guest presenters this fall will include Dr. Gary Simpson and Dr. Marty Stortz. Come with your questions. How has God been (or not been) steadfast for you? \nNovember Adult Formation Schedule \n  \nOctober Adult Formation Schedule \n  \nSeptember Adult Formation Schedule \n

SUMMARY:Worship (Sa)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday evening worship is a contemplative communion service. Whichever pastor is preaching on Sunday\, preaches and leads worship on Saturday night. The service is guided by a contemplative sense: a slower pace\, room for silence\, and a simpler service order. The altar is on the main floor\, and much of the music is led from a piano within the gathered community. The service is generally about 45 minutes long\, with 40-50 people regularly gathering. After worship\, there is a social time with non-alcoholic beverages\, wine\, beer\, and finger food like cheese and crackers\, dip\, and sweets. \nJoin the Livestream
