Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

church picnic_t_ntFirst Christian is holding its’ first ever “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” event on May 17th at 6:00 p.m.  This is an event designed for our membership to become better acquainted.  The premise is a group of “hosts” entertain a random and secret group of guests.  Signup sheets will be made available to choose if you would like to be a guest, a host, or either. The Hosts will be chosen and notified of the number attending their dinner (not to exceed 6 persons).  The names and assignments of the guests will be kept confidential until the day before the dinner. The coordinators will email or call the guests and let them know the address of dinner. The host will provide the main course and beverages; the guests will be assigned either a side dish or dessert. The tighter the secret the more fun.  Let the fun begin!!

Disciple History Class

Chalice_HighBeginning Sunday, April 27 we are offering a new adult Christian Education class following worship focusing on our Disciple History.  We will explore the Stone-Campbell movement on the frontier and who we are as Disciples today. We will be using the curriculum Leaders and Legends:  A Study of Stone-Campbell History & Beliefs written by the Disciples Historical Society. Leaders within our congregation will guide us through the study. This class is perfect for those who have recently become a part of our church community and those who have been around awhile. No matter who you are this is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of who we are as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
