Adult Ministries

WEDNESDAY ADULT FAITH FORMATION

The book of acts
April 8 - May 13

The Holy Spirit is clearly at work in Acts, pouring out on people from many nations on the day of Pentecost, giving Jesus’ disciples the power to speak boldly, gathering early believers together for worship, and sending out Peter and Paul as missionaries. Pastor Carlson facilitates a conversation about how the church learns how to live after the resurrection of Jesus—guided by the Holy Spirit, shaped by grace, and sent into the world. Participants will listen for what the Spirit may be saying to the church today.

Sunday Adult Faith Formation

music presentation
Sunday, May 3 at 9:30 am

Join Zach Rohlwing and Stephen O’Baker in the sanctuary as they explore modern trends in hymnody--the writers, the composers, and how they combine tradition and innovation to create music for today's worship. Musical excerpts will be drawn from the ELCA's newest hymnal supplement, "All Creation Sings."   

Sunday BIBLE STUDY

Each Sunday, Pastor Gregory Davis leads a study and discussion on the Gospel lesson assigned for the coming Sunday, giving congregants an opportunity to reflect on the Gospel text and let it percolate as they prepare to hear next week's sermon.
