Geezers Clinic ~ Open to EVERYONE!

Every other Sunday evening at 5:00 PM, beginning on October 21st


No, this is not the place old guitars go to get their checkups!

Our Guitar Geezers (aka Grateful We’re Not Dead!) are offering free guitar lessons to people of all ages and abilities. Have you always wanted to know how to play the guitar? Do you want to dust off the old six-string and join in on the family Christmas caroling this holiday season? Come join us at the church on Sunday, October 21st, at 5:00pm for an hour of music and fun. Please enter the building through the Student Ministry door. We look forward to seeing you there!




Faith Conversation Facilitators WANTED!

Would you be interested in facilitating one of our Adult Faith Conversations? Is there a faith topic or book study you would be interested in exploring for a seven week session? Please contact Sally Roach by e-mail (sallytomroach@yahoo.com) or by phone (503-846-1816). We are nearing the middle of October and our first round of Adult Faith Conversation Opportunities will be wrapping up by the end of the month. Our task force is hard at work, planning for the winter session of Adult Faith Conversations that will begin on Sunday, January 20th, 2013. If you are interested in facilitating but don't have a particular topic in mind, let us know. We know of some wonderful resources that might be just what your looking for.

It has been a joy to see people of all ages engaging with one another around faith and the Bible during our Faith Conversations hour.  Thank you to Sally Roach, our Adult Faith Conversations Chairperson, and to our facilitators, Rhonda Eppelsheimer, Steve Gross, Chris Moore, Ray Oeltjen and Bill Severson for helping to make our Fall season such a great experience!
