COFFEE FELLOWSHIP—The FMC Neighborhood coffee fellowship is on the third Tuesday of each month at 9:30a.m. in the fellowship hall. Everyone is welcome. The next coffee fellowship is May 20.
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES—The Ministerial Leadership Team has designed an LGBTQ+ congregational study beginning February 2nd to help our congregation better understand the LGBTQ+ experience, engage in experiential, biblical and ethical reflection, and—if possible—come to consensus on how FMC will engage/include LGBTQ+ persons and articulate common ethical principles. Pastors Ryan and Emily will facilitate the study.
YARD AND BAKE SALE—Mark your calendars for the yard and bake sale on May 17.
MEMBERSHIP CLASS—Pastor Ryan will offer a five-week Zoom class that explores the mission and values of FMC. Thursday evenings at 7pm on June 5, 12, 19, 26, and July 3. This class is for anyone who wants to learn more about our faith, and it is also a preparation for those who want to become members. Contact Ryan if you would like to attend one or more sessions.
PEACE CAMP—Save the date: Peace camp will be July 28 – 31, from 6:15 to 8pm, with an optional supper at 5:30. This is a multi-congregation event hosted at FMC. Find out more at: https://www.firstmennonitechurch.org/peacecamp
