Parenting with Grace
Parenting with Grace is a welcoming community of parents who come together once a month after church to share a meal and meaningful conversation. As Christian parents, we strive to lead with grace in our relationships—with our children, partners, families, and ourselves. Our discussions focus on the joys and challenges of parenting, offering a supportive space for everyone to share their experiences. Whether you're a parent, guardian, or anyone raising children, you're welcome to join us.
Join us for our next gathering: Sunday, Nov 2nd at 12:15pm
Our next Parenting with Grace gathering is Sunday, November 2nd from 12:15-1:15pm - childcare provided! As always, we'll share a meal and engage in meaningful conversation about the joys and challenges of parenting. With the holiday season approaching, we'll be discussing how to navigate time with extended family - from differences in faith perspectives and parenting styles, to conversations about food, screen time, body image, etc. This is a space to share your experiences, concerns, and strategies for maintaining your family's values while honoring relationships with grandparents and other loved ones. Whether the holidays bring joy, stress, or a mix of both, come share and learn together!
Parenting with Grace is a welcoming community for all parents, guardians, and those raising children. Please RSVP using the sign-up link to help us prepare the right amount of food and childcare. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Pastor Tony Katko.

Women Connect
Every Monday Evening | 6:30-8:30pm (Fireside Lounge)
Come join Beth Johnson, Kim Dressel and Dorina Kramer for a 6 week series: The ROCK, The ROAD, and The RABBI
In this study, we will follow Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel as they visit sites in Israel where Jesus walked, taught, healed, ministered, died for our sins, and rose again. Jesus (the Rock) came into this world and walked the lands of Israel (the Road) to show us the way to God. And when we are introduced to the mysteries of God’s Word (the Rabbi) and understand it in the context in which it was written, we are transformed in our hearts and minds. Join us for fellowship, open discussion and the opportunity to get to connect with the women of Peace.
