YAZ = Young Adultz

If you are a 20 or 30-something, you are welcome to be part of the YAZ gatherings throughout the year.

Sometimes we meet for socializing, sometimes we meet for faith-Bible-God learning and conversation.

One thing’s for sure: there is always food.

The next YAZ gathering will be on Monday, February 9, 6:00-8:30 PM.

We’ll gather for a meal, then move into the Parlor to talk about prayer — what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can be a meaningful part of our lives.

The circle is open to newcomers.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent.

Our worship service will include confession, scripture, congregational singing, extended quiet, contemplation of our mortality, and the imposition of ashes.

Benedictine spirituality is a set of practices that emphasize prayer, work, holy leisure and humility.

What is the “Rule” of St. Benedict? Why has its wisdom endured? How might we, in our time and place, incorporate the spiritual practices into our own lives?

Our Godly Play classroom is for children in preschool thru 2nd grade.

The "Doorperson" greets each child and helps them get ready to enter the classroom.

The "Storyteller" tells the Bible story using the Godly Play curriculum, props, and the desert box, and then asks the children wondering questions. The class concludes with worktime and the feast.

Godly Play is a wonderful approach to faith formation thru storytelling.

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM, in the Godly Play classroom on the lower level.
