Women's Bible Study

September 9 - November 4, 2026, 6:00 - 7:30 pm

Join us once again for a Women's Bible Study led by the dynamic duo of Peggy and Kim!  This fall, the group is reading Luke in the Land: Walking with Jesus in His First Century World, by Kristi McLelland. The group begins on September 9th and will meet every Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30 pm through November 4th.

Book Description: The four written Gospels describe Jesus's time on earth: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Land-the place Jesus walked and taught during His earthly ministry-is often referred to as the 'fifth Gospel'. The land speaks in its own way and reveals a deeper understanding of the life of Christ.

Through seven sessions revealing snapshots from the Gospel of Luke, join Kristi McLelland to explore the fifth Gospel together. Challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus in video teaching sessions that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. See how Jesus brought true hope to the world by following His footsteps in the Gospel of Luke.

Confirmation Info Meeting

September 13, 2026, 12:00 pm

Youth confirmation is a structured process of education and mentorship in which baptized adolescents learn the foundations of the Christian faith so they can publicly affirm it and become full, professing members of the church. This informational meeting is open to all youth in 7th grade and up who have not yet completed confirmation, along with their families.

Youth who participate in the confirmation process will attend weekly class with Ms. Kennedy in preparation for Confirmation Sunday on November 1st.

Bible Presentation Sunday

September 20, 2026, 11:15 am during Modern Worship

Bible Presentation Sunday is a special day in the life of the church, especially for our Kindergarteners and 3rd graders. These two ages mark meaningful milestones in a child's life. In Kindergarten, children learn to read, and for the first time they're able to open their very own Bibles and read the word of God for themselves. In 3rd grade, students' reading has reached a more advanced level, and they're invited to spend worship with their families in the sanctuary instead of in Children's Church.

To honor these milestones, our church gifts each child a new Bible that marks this rite of passage. The presentation will take place during our Modern Worship service at 11:15 am.

Bible Camp

September 25 & 26, 2026

Read, Play, Hike, Study, Swim, Fish, Worship, Learn, Serve, and Craft with us! 

Everybody knows the Bible's greatest hits — but how do all those stories actually fit together? How do the Old and New Testaments connect, and what's the big story they're all pointing to? Glen Lake Camp's Fall Retreat is for 3rd - 6th graders, featuring an introduction to the Bible that connects the dots — walking through Scripture's major themes and showing how every piece builds the larger story. And it's not all lessons — campers will make new friends, dive into fun activities, play silly games, and get crafty, all while soaking up everything a Glen Lake retreat has to offer!
