Enjoying each other’s company.
For us it is fun to find excuses to get together and enjoy each other’s company. Throughout the year we have meals together: some potluck, some potato bars after church, some presented by very talented cooks with a program or slide show, or an occasional sukiyaki dinner for those who have finished reading through the Bible.
We enjoy a fellowship time after church every Sunday as we take turns providing goodies after church. We brew delicious coffee and have tea and juice available too.
Bike trips, canoe trips, ice fishing, hiking, bonfires with a picnic, and going to the theatre together have also been enjoyable times of fellowship.
Women’s Group
We currently have two Women’s Bible studies. They both meet weekly through the school year, on Wednesday mornings at 10 am and Thursday evenings at 5:30 pm. Through the year the women try to meet every other month after church for lunch and a program. They also support one another in prayer, and celebrate special events together such as a Christmas party.
Men’s Group
The men of our congregation gather on one of the Saturdays of every month (September – May) to make breakfast and enjoy a program. Some recent programs have been the report of one of our member’s trip to Turkey and Rome; another was an ice fishing expedition following breakfast; and another was a demonstration in how to make stained glass windows.
Ladies Book Club
For a number of years, we have had a monthly Book Club meeting for the ladies of the congregation. Together they have read many books over the many years. They gather on the third Thursday of the month at 11:00 am to enjoy fellowship and discussion.
