Wednesday Night Dinner runs September 10, 2025 – May 6, 2026

Wednesday night is church night!

Dinner is available 4:45-6:15pm in the Sanctuary Fellowship Hall. All are welcome!

Suggested donation is $4-6 for children (ages 3 and up) and $6-8 for adults. Cash, check, debit/credit cards, and Apple Pay are accepted. “Pay-as-you’re able!” VOLUNTEER! We can use your help! Join our volunteer teams that prepare the meals on Tuesdays and set up, serve, and clean up on Wednesdays. It’s a fun way to be part of our church family while giving back.

The Chosen has quickly become one of the most popular historical dramas about the life and teachings of Jesus. Each week we will discuss an episode from Season 1. Pastor Amy will summarize the episode you watched at home that week, and then lead a discussion about what you’ve seen and the Bible stories it portrayed. How close is the show to scripture? How can art expand our Biblical Imagination? Who is Jesus to you? We’ll explore all these questions and more in this intergenerational Bible Study open to High Schoolers through Adults!
