Making a
Difference Through FELLOWSHIP
Tuesday's Together
Tuesdays Together is an all-church program that features a warm
meal each Tuesday night, followed by a number of elective classes. Many of these
classes are fun and inviting, along with being a great time to get to know
others in the church and learn something new. Classes have ranged from massage
therapy to playing euchre to story-telling to scrapbooking to world religions to
learning how to play bridge. This 8-week long period runs three times throughout
the year -- usually October-November, January-February, and March-April.
What Is It Exactly?
Good question! Tuesdays Together are a conglomeration of
programs that allow for greater participation, and organizes our church schedule
so that to be involved in a variety of activities you don't have to be at the
church every night of the week. The evening begins with a simple yet substantial
meal called "Feed My Spirit", followed by a number of elective classes that you
choose to participate in, plus on the fourth and eighth Tuesday an alternative
worship service featuring the Fusion band
takes place.
When Is It Exactly?
5:45pm-6:30pm...The "Feed My
Spirit" meal is open to all. A volunteer team prepares this simple meal, which
is substantial enough to not have to eat again afterwards but easy enough to be
made each week. Mac-n-cheese and hot dogs are consistently offered each week
(just in case the kids don't like the main meal), plus coffee, tea, milk and
fruit are provided. Not only is this an easy dinner for families on this night
of the week, but it is also a good time of fellowship for church and community
folks alike. The meal is free, but donations are accepted. View the meal
schedule here or contact the church office to
obtain a copy.
6:30pm-7:30pm...To broaden
our educational opportunities for adults we offer an array of classes that
compliment our already existing DISCIPLE Bible Study
and Sunday morning electives. Classes run for 6
weeks with breaks every 3 weeks when we worship together during the alternative
service featuring Fusion.
