Tuesday Prayer Group
This prayer group is open to ALL! Mason Buckingham and Pastor Paul leads a prayer group which meets weekly, every Tuesday at 12:15pm in Narthex (the hallway next to the Sanctuary).
The purpose of this group is to gather at the church to lift the needs and concerns that people have. We invite you to come and fellowship with us. When we gather, we certainly pray for each other and the needs within our church family, but we also pray for those who have experienced disasters, conflicts around the world, and for leaders within the church and in our world.
Respect for each other is a core understanding with-in the group.
We do not require that any person within the group must pray aloud. Their presence among us is enough to encourage us in an attitude of prayer. It is open to all who wish to attend. Join Mason, Pastor Paul and others Wednesdays - an exciting opportunity to serve Christ and your church family!
Encountering God Wednesday Service
Facilitated by Paster Jeremy Touroo and Jordan Kettlewell, Encountering God meets the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:15 pm.
Join us in the Sanctuary for an intimate worship experience and message, followed by an open discussion.
Invite someone you know to join you. It is a worship service
different from our regular worship experience.

Care + Support
"Reflections for the Grieving Soul" Grief Support Group
Facilitated by Melanie Riling, this group meets on Fridays at 2:00pm in the Church Library. The group is starting a NEW 3-week study from, "Imagine Heaven" by John Burke on March 14th, 2025.
There will be no class on March 7th.
All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets?
This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined.
If you are interested in being a part of this group, please contact the church office: (989) 732-5380.
