July 5-11 | Alaska
This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Praying Pelicans Mission for an incredible journey to Alaska! Known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming communities, Alaska is a vast land with unique challenges. Home to around 730,000 people, half of whom live in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, many Alaskans reside in remote areas only accessible by planes, boats, and ATVs. Despite its natural beauty and vibrant summer tourism, Alaska faces deep struggles, including poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction. On this mission trip, you’ll team up with local churches, nonprofits, and Christian camps to make a positive impact.

A stroll for your soul. Step outside and into sacred space with Walking in Wonder, a Sunday morning class that invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and draw near to God through movement, prayer, and praise. We’ll begin in the Dining Hall with a brief time of scripture, reflection, and singing before walking together to the labyrinth. Along the way, we’ll open our hearts to wonder—attuning ourselves to the beauty of creation and the gentle guidance of the Spirit.
This is a space for all ages and stages, whether you’re looking to ground your week in gratitude, connect more deeply with God, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk in good company. Come as you are, and come ready to walk, wonder, and worship.
Grumpy Old Men - The Minor(?) Prophets with Pastor Kevin
Mondays, Beginning February 3 | 9:30 am | Room 200 & Zoom
Monday morning bible study resumes with a 12 week series on prophets you may not know. Even though the Minor Prophets are some of the least read books of Scripture, they are also some of the richest. These voices declare God’s glory by witnessing to God’s steadfast love and mercy. They demonstrate God’s holiness in God’s intense anger toward sin. They proclaim a humanity created to live in harmony and justice.

We share a group reading and discussion, often accompanied by a practice opportunity.

Real Americans by Rachel Khong HF
This novel covers more than 80 years, and touches on everything from the Cultural Revolution to Sept. 11 to the fight against affirmative action — it is as much about being Asian in America as it is about the working class, the politically disenfranchised and the universal quest to understand the self.
