SUMMARY:Fuel Your Faith Program Fair
DESCRIPTION:Fall is often a season of new beginnings. In this new season\, what do you need to fuel your faith? Spiritual food in the form of a small group? A Bible study or Christian education opportunity for yourself or a child or youth? Social opportunities for a not-yet-launched young adult? Does your soul need community with and the support of others? \nStick around after worship for a program fair that focuses not on what you can do for the church\, but what the church has to offer to help you “grow in your relationship with God” so that you can “live your faith in the world.” Come to “taste” (yes\, there will be snacks) and see the goodness of First Church’s many opportunities. Please invite a new person to come along with you!

SUMMARY:Covenant Groups -- St. Francis Peace Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Long before there was a Campaign for Kindness\, there was a prayer known as the St. Francis peace prayer (Lord\, make me an instrument of your peace…) This well-known prayer has been in widespread ecumenical use since early in the twentieth century. In this five session covenant group members will practice applying the prayer in their daily lives and will engage in reflection and mutual support. Come join us as we work to become more effective instruments of peace in a world which deeply needs them.\nThere will be both a ZOOM version and an in-person version. The ZOOM version will be on Wednesday evenings from 7-8 beginning October 2 and ending October 30 and will be led by Kim Coffing.  The in-person version will be on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 beginning September 29 and ending November 3 (no meeting on October 20) and will be led by Jim Johnson.\nQuestions? Contact Tom Scott at tom.scott.goblue@msn.com.

SUMMARY:Covenant Hiking Group
DESCRIPTION:“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station\, through which God speaks to us every hour\, if we will only tune in.” – George Washington Carver \nThe Covenant Hike Group invites all who have a wonder of the natural world to share nature immersion with each other through 3 seasons while experiencing the presence of God. The format is simple. We begin with a brief reading (scripture or poem)\, hike along while sharing joys and concerns\, and appreciate 5 minutes of silence at mid-point. Each hike concludes with an optional\, brief time of sharing about our experiences on the hike\, closing prayer\, and a cool or hot drink.  All ages are welcome. \nEach month we will meet at a designated location at 2 p.m.\, hiking various paths in our area for about an hour at a comfortable pace for everyone. The group will meet each first Sunday from October through May\, and participants may join in as schedules allow. \nAll who participate are welcomed to share in ownership. The wonder of the natural world and God’s presence in it is limitless. \nFacilitator: Jim Johnson. Contact Jim at jjohnso@luc.edu with any questions and to be placed on the distribution list.
