Lenten "Soup and Supper" Study focus on "Growing Good"

Screen Shot 2022-03-25 at 6.10.43 PM.png
For each of the Monday evenings of Lent, members are gathering in the Fellowship hall to enjoy a bowl of soup with breads. We are preparing for personal growth and church growth as we study the scriptures and participate in a video study series. The study series is called" Growing Good." Each session has been designed to generate discussion about our personal and church outreach. 

Topics for the series are broken into: Presence, Perseverance,  Hospitality,  Adaptability, Participation, and Next Steps. Each session begins with prayer and follows with a video that challenges the participants to consider where they can grow in each of the areas presented.

Through a set of interactive activities, members share thoughts about our strengths as well as our weaknesses, guided by a series of worksheets that accompany each video. The goal of each evening gathering is to challenge our members to consider our ministry and how we can be 'Growing Good" together.

New Flooring.jpg
Thanks to generous gifts to the church by members, the work to renovate the nursery is now completed. The walls have been repainted, the cabinets have been restored for useful service, and a new vinyl floor has been installed. The floor is composed of a product called "Lifeproof Vinyl Flooring." Mark Ellingwood of Faith Floorcovering laid each of the planks. The material is designed to interlock with a waterproof seal, and also offers maximum stain and scratch resistance. The anti-microbial flooring also resists growth of mildew and mold. The color of the flooring is "trail oak."
