Inviting Ministries
Our Inviting Ministries include our public welcome to the community through our website, newsletter, signs, etc. We also reach out to invite others in through the Alpha program. We also help the parish learn how to share their God stories and invite others in.
Alpha:
Alpha is a short course on the Christian Faith. Alpha provides friendly and safe place to discuss the questions of life and learn about Christianity with others. Alpha is a weekly program that includes a dinner, a talk on the basics of the faith, and a small group discussion on that topic, where all questions and explorations are encouraged. Alpha lasts for ten weeks, currently meeting in 2016 on Sunday nights, 5:30 -7:30, beginning August 21.

Connecting Ministries
Our Connecting Ministries grow disciples of Jesus Christ by helping form personal connections and Christian fellowship among parishioners, especially for those new to the church. The Teams that support these efforts are Newcomers, Foyers, and ECW. We also put together special parish events such as picnics and Parish Retreats.
Newcomers:
As noted above, the Newcomer's Team helps our guests and new members connect into the life of the church with personal follow-up. Contact Pam Meijers for more information [email address].
Foyers Dinner Groups:
Foyers provides Christian Fellowship through arranging small dinner groups that meet monthly at parishioners' homes. Sign up every six months (summer and winter) and you will be assigned a group of 6-8 people. Your group then arranges a rotation of dinners among the group, usually at each household's home.
