Coffee Fellowship

"Nourishing the community and environment one scoop at a time" That is the motto of BD Provision of Severna Park, our new provider for sustainably grown coffee from small plantations around the world. Today's coffee is their most popular blend, named Midnight Joe and it is a blend of Brazilian, Colombian, and Indian coffees. Be sure to stop by for a cup in Fellowship Hall and tell us what you think by filling out our review card and in return, get a coupon for a free cup of coffee at the BD provisions store at 844 Ritchie Highway. This also will enter you in a giveaway of a cool looking coffee plantation sack. Great for a wall hanging in a dorm room or breakfast nook, bulletin board, or art project.

See the Property Ministry table in the Ministry Mall for coupons and review/entry cards. 

New Adult Education Class

Adult Education is offering a new study on Sundays, September 14–October 19, 11AM, featuring Matthew: the Gospel of Promised Blessing, by professor M. Skinner. Matthew portrays Jesus and his message as full of tender compassion and urgent warning. This six-part exploration of an enigmatic Gospel takes us into the themes, topics, and tensions at the heart of Matthew’s story about the life and work of Jesus.

We will meet in the Office Conference Room and on Zoom. Books are available in the office.

Confirmation Class Registration

Our 8th grade Confirmation Class will meet on Sundays, September 14–May, 2–3PM. This class is designed for 8th graders to explore their relationship with God, recommit themselves to their walk with Christ, and take the step to join the church. In this class, you’ll learn more about your faith, what it means to be the Church, and how to share your faith with others!

In addition, we are offering a NEW High School Confirmation Crash-Course for any high school students who are interested in being confirmed and joining our church, but might be a bit old for our normal 8th grade class. This also is a great option for students who have been confirmed before, but are interested in taking a refresher class. This class will meet on Sunday afternoons, 3:30–4:30PM, starting on September 14, and will last only one semester.
