Children’s Church
After the children’s message, kids pre-K through 5th grade will move to their own time and space for faith formation. We’re using Road Trip—a creative and engaging curriculum that helps children explore faith in ways that connect to their everyday lives.
Adult Faith Formation | November 9
"Showing Up for Palestine."
Joan Deming is a retired United Methodist Pastor whose career included local church ministry in Wisconsin and nonprofit work on behalf of Palestinian Christian organizations in the West Bank and Israel. Since 2009 she has led many "Living Stones" Pilgrimages to Israel/Palestine to visit holy sites and hear stories from Palestinian and Israeli Peacemakers. She has traveled to the West Bank and Israel four times in the last year and a half to volunteer as part of a protective international presence on the Tent of Nations Farm southwest of Bethlehem. In both worship and a Forum on November 9th, she will share from her experiences at the Tent of Nations as well as recent experiences with friends in Bethlehem and in the Galilee region of northern Israel. Joan will have handmade items from Palestine for sale as well.
