Summer Congregation Retreat

Friday, August 2, 2013 - 7:00pm - Sunday, August 4, 2013 - 12:00pm

It's time for our third annual summer retreat! The topic is LifeKeys Spiritual Gift program. While we won't cover the whole book, you will learn more about your personality type, values and passions.

This year we are heading back to Lutherdale Bible Camp where we will have access to a spacious lodge (single beds, shared bathrooms) with A/C as well as a large lawn where we can pitch as many tents as we'd like.  There will also be options for nearby hotels for those who don't like a lot of "rough" in their "roughing it."

Flock O'Readers

We meet in the kitchen beginning at 7:30pm.

Upcoming Schedule

June 27, 2013 - a book with a circus theme

July 25, 2013 - The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro

August, 2013 - no meeting

 

We are always looking for ideas of books to read, and we cover wide ranges of subjects.  You don't have to attend all of the dates. If you like to read, come join us! 

Meal Shepherds

Imagine that you are recovering from surgery or dealing with a sick loved one. Now imagine that a friend shows up with a basket filled with a warm dinner for your family. That is what the Meal Shepherds do. From time to time there are several families that need meals, but each Meal Shepherd is responsible for one or a few meals. Call the church office if you would like to be on the list of people who make meals.

Lunch with the Rev

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 11:30am - 1:00pm

Summer is here with a possibility of al-fresco lunch at Mancini's for Lunch with the Rev.Join Pastor Kathy at  on June 20th for Lunch with the Rev. She will be there from 11:30am until 1pm, you can come when you are free and leave when you need to move on

Have a question for Pastor Kathy, but don't need an appointment? Like to eat out, but don't like to eat alone? . Mancini's is located at 1111 Lake Street.

Movie Night

What can be better than dinner and a movie? How about joining friends for a potluck meal and sharing your thoughts afterwards. On the 3rd Satuday at 5:30pm (or other Saturdays when holidays interfere) gather in the church basement for Movie Night. No reservations are needed, just bring some food to share - home made or store bought are both great. The idea is to have an easy night of entertainment. For more information see John Hayes.

Y.A.M.S.

Young Adults in Ministry is a group of 20 and 30 year olds who meet twice monthly. The focus is building connections, sharing food, and having fun.There are opportunities for service projects and mentoring high school youth. Y.A.M.S. have their own facebook page. For an invitation to the facebook group contact Pastor Kathy.

Coffee With the Rev

Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - 7:30pm - 9:00pm

The topics change with the differing mix of people. What could you bring to the table?

Join Pastor Kathy for conversation and food at the Eastgate Cafe, 102 Harrison, Oak Park on Wednesday, June 12th. While Pastor Kathy will begins at 7pm with a meal, most of the group meets from 7:30pm to 9pm. Come when you can and go when you must.

Feast of Friends

Did you miss the first gathering? There is still time to connect with a group. This Fellowhship group connects a group of 6 to 8 people over dinners in a home between February and May.  The group decides when and where to meet. Many groups are formed anew each year. This is an opportunity for old friends to get to know each other better, and new friends to be made.

Have you participated in a Feast of Friends event yet?  Has your group met at least once and are they trying to figure out their second or third meeting?  If you haven't participated in a Feast of Friends, please consider it next time around.  For more information on Feast of Friends, contact Liz Lemke.
