MERCY WEDNESDAY DINNER

We believe that following Jesus happens best when we’re in community with others.

Mercy Wednesdays offers the opportunity to connect outside of a Sunday morning!
During the Fall and Spring, we have a free meal together followed by classes focused on connecting with others and growing in our faith. Childcare is offered for those participating in a class. 
Would you like to volunteer as part of the host team for Wednesday nights?

Mercy dinner is 5:00 - 6:00 PM every Wednesday during the class season.

Session 1

Wednesdays - October 2, 9, 16

Practicing the Way
This class will take place over session 1 and session 2. Please register for each session individually (when the form becomes available) if you plan to take the class for both sessions. Thank you!

Join us for thematic discussion based on the book, Practicing the Way. Together we will explore what it practically looks like to build practices into our lives that resemble those of Jesus. These disciplines such as silence and solitude, fasting, and community can be helpful to growing in likeness to Him. Although these skills are not the end goal, they make room for the Holy Spirit to work in the same way that sailors put up sails and check all the rigging so they are ready when the wind blows. You don't have to read the book but it would be valuable to have a copy and come with background on it.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of watercolor painting, or anywhere in between, this class is for you!  God has designed creativity into each one of us.  Engaging in a creative practice connects us to our creator and helps ease the busy mind. This Wednesday night class series will provide a different prompt every week to get your creativity flowing and explore ways to connect with the community through generosity and mindful artmaking.  No prior art experience is required and supplies are included. Jen is an artist in the Mercy community and enjoys teaching in-person and online art classes to help people experience the joy of connecting to their creativity.  She enjoys combining her love of nature and watercolor by leading art hikes, painting with wild water from lakes rivers, and puddles, and always has a sketchbook and tiny paint kit along on her outdoor adventures.

I said this, You heard that
This is a personality-driven class that focuses on our innate needs through communication. The way we communicate to one another can build up or tear down. The way we receive language can either motivate or destroy our spirits. This class will walk through each temperament type through the assessment, conversations, and videos with the goal of better understanding ourselves and others.
