This study is for the dreamers in all of us—those who dream of a deeper connection with God and those who dream of a better world. It’s for those who dream of comfort and for those who have given up on their dreams. It’s for those whose dreams have been crushed and for those who show us that dreams take time. Join us as we seek and sow God’s dreams for our world.

Faith in Motion

We are a group of women united by our love of the Lord, our desire to view life through the lens of laughter & joy, and our love of respectful, spirited conversations about topics of faith, current events, work, and family.  We regularly engage in study of the Bible and faith-related topics - but also seek out opportunities to put our "faith in motion" through community service and outreach activities.

We use books and/or online video resources to guide our Bible studies, based on the recommendations of the church or our own mutual interests.  We will schedule serving activities around our study schedule.  Decisions about who and where we serve will be based on community needs and suggestions from our own group members.  We would love for you to join us on Saturday mornings!  Contact Sheila Coleman at .

Study:  Questions Jesus Asked
Author:  Magrey R. Deveja
Trailer

We all have questions for God, but growth happens when we turn things around and ask what Jesus wants to know about us.

• Who do you say I am? (Luke 9:18-20)
• Why are you afraid” (Matthew 8:23-27)
• Why are you anxious? (Luke 12: 25-31)
• What do you live for? (Mark 8:34-38)
• Whom will you love (Luke 6:27-36)
• What are you looking for? (John 1:35-38)

In Questions Jesus Asked, author Magrey deVega explores these six questions Jesus posed to others. When we dare to raise them, these questions bring us a fuller appreciation for the wisdom, power and presence of God in our lives.

NOTE: This is an in-person study utilizing the book, a video presentation of Pastor deVega, and a lively group discussion.

JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) Book Club
JEDI Book Club includes eight monthly classes exploring race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual identity, abilities, age, and national origin. Participants are responsible for reading six secular books (below), watching one film, and investigating how these factors currently impact our lives, church, and community. The workshop is set up to be experiential, interactive, and discussion-based. Each class is designed to

• first focus on the issues of the text assigned for that class session (reflection on the text),
• then focus on the connections of the text to our lives, church, and community (the text in our lives),
• and finally, focus on how the equity issues of the text are addressed in the Bible (going beyond the text).

The class is based on The SEED Project on Inclusive Curriculum, originally designed by Peggy McIntosh and Emily Styles.

Texts for 2023-24

• September - Introduction
• October (Black) - Youll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey
• November (Sexual Identity) - This Is How It Always Is or Mad Honey
• December (Ability) - Crip Camp (film)
• February (Addiction, Foster Care) - Demon Copperhead
• March (Gender) - Lessons in Chemistry
• April (Socioeconomic Status) - Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America
