Online Bible Study meets on Thursdays at 5:00 pm. During the Spring-Summer of 2020 shut-down, we're studying the Emotional Psalms and how they might speak to us during this time of pandemic. Join the study time (link below), and show up anytime during the 30 minutes prior for a little catch-up and conversation time together. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85412220756

Leadership Summit, began on February 10, 11:30 am in the upper lounge
We are continuing the work on our Summit, making Choices which will lead us into our future together. From this summit, we made six choices: life over death, community over isolation, fun over drudgery, bold over mild, frontier over fortress, now over later (using Paul Nixon's book, I Refuse to Lead a Dying Church) . Now we're working to build small groups and pop-up church opportunities with lots more to come! |
Congregational Summit, took place on February 24, 11:00 am in the fellowship hall
We began to set to the course for the future of our congregation. We used Simon Sinek's book Finding Your Why to begin to set our vision and focus for ministry in the Southfield community. We had our "Why-smithers" work on the statement and came up with our new Vision Statement to guide our work and ministry! What's our vision? To create a welcoming community where God is known in the lives of others.
