- Middle and High School FLY - Any youth in grades 6-12 are invited to the FLY Room, each Sunday for faith-filled discussions about what is going on in their lives!
- Adult Sunday School Class in the Conference Room. All are welcome to attend as we begin a new class discussion of the book, "Separation of Church and Hate” by Jon Fugelsang.In his book Fugelsang’s message is about standing up for the love, mercy, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. The book is a blend of radical honesty, comedy, and deep political and religious knowledge. It’s a good guide that promotes compassion and clarity for anyone of any faith who opposes religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.
