EfM Registration

It is registration time for the Education for Ministry (EfM) program, and we hope you will consider joining us this fall. Our group meets on Sundays from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. downstairs in the Education Building. We have prayers, dinner, group discussion and reflection. It is an opportunity to dig deeper into the Christian faith, study the Bible, Church history and theological ideas, and reflect on connecting our faith with our life experiences. EfM offers an opportunity to discover how to discern and respond to our call to Christian service, whatever that may be for each individual, and it gives us a small group to support us on our journey. We register one year at a time, and the group meets from September through May. There is a fee for the program, and some scholarship help is available. The deadline for registration is August 9, and the first class will be September 6. Contact one of the group mentors for questions or more information: Linda Stewart (lstewart54@aol.com) or Marjie Mack (mmack3108@comcast.net).

Special Coffee Hour for Pat and Carl Rehling, August 9

A Special Coffee Hour, in thanksgiving for the lives and ministries of Pat and Carl Rehling, will be held on Sunday, August 9, following the 10 a.m. service. Pat and Carl have served God in many ways, particularly in our parish in recent years. They will be moving to Texas during that week. Please come out and wish them well in this transition, which will be difficult for all of us.
