Coffee Hour on Sunday Mornings
All are invited to “Coffee Hour” on Sunday mornings in the Fellowship Hall between 9:00 and 10:30. It is a great opportunity to meet people. This time overlaps the education hour which is generally 9:15-10:15. Education programs also afford opportunities to develop friendships. Young parents have opportunities to learn and share together. These friendships sometimes spill over into the playground while the children play after church and parents visit.
Presbyterian Youth
PYA (Presbyterian Youth Association) is an opportunity for friendships to develop between middle school and high school youth. It gives the youth an open and accepting environment where youth feel comfortable asking the hard questions about faith and life. Youth challenge each other and learn to grow in their faith together. The youth meet most Sundays from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in the Youth room. Check the Learning Page Posts for current PYA activities, service projects, events, and other opportunities for youth. Youth with adult chaperons participate in a mission trip each summer.
Young Families
The Young Families Ministry was started in June 2007 with the purpose of creating opportunities for the young families of our church to get to know one another and do some sharing about the joys and challenges of parenting. The group typically meets monthly, offering both family and “adult-only” activities such as game nights, outdoor movies, service projects, bowling, camping, etc. The Young Families group also meets during the education hour on Sunday mornings, sharing and learning through participation in parenting education curriculum.
Saturday Morning Men of Faith
Men of the church meet the first Saturday of the month at 8:00 a.m. for breakfast fellowship and discussion of topics of interest. All are welcome. If possible sign up in fellowship hall the week before so the host knows how many to prepare breakfast for.
PW (Presbyterian Women)
Presbyterian Women, is a group of Christian women who come together to share their faith. PW hosts Wednesday noon luncheons several times a year. PW has a Mission Sewing Group. PW is part of the ecumenical group Church Women United. Smaller groups called “Circles” are open to all women. The circles meet once a month for Bible Study.
Presbyterian Women (PW) participate in mission:
The PW sewing group sews quilts, baby gowns, and hospital gowns. Other projects are baby layettes which are sent to a mission in northern Minnesota, collecting and sending soup can labels and box tops for education to Menaul School in New Mexico. Contact Judy Mellenthien (921-6636) for more information
PW helps support the weekly Sunday morning radio ministry broadcast.
Women In Faith
A friend is someone who reaches for your hand, but touches your heart. Women in Faith extend an invitation to join them for fun and fellowship. Women in Faith meet one evening a month from 6:00-8:00 pm. A light supper is shared together followed by a fun time of fellowship, devotions and crafts or games. Bring a dish to pass if you can – or just bring yourself - or invite a friend to come along. Women in Faith is open to women of all ages and everyone is welcome. Contact Jennifer Zander at the church office with any questions (922-0425).
