Faith in Motion

Saturday, 9:00am

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 will begin meeting again in the Fall - on the second Saturday in September - and would love for you to join us on Saturday mornings!  Contact Sheila Coleman at .

JEDI Light

Wednesday, 6:00pm

Monthly on Wednesdays, 6-7:30 pm
Jun - Aug
Location: LL3 (with an option to call in)
Group Leader:  Kim Samuelson

JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion)
JEDI Light will explore themes such as small town living, sports culture, and assault that are highlighted in Fredrik Backman's Beartown series. Participants are responsible for reading the books 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.
