Oholiabs  (click for home page)


    "The Lord said to Moses: I have chosen Bezalel from the Judah tribe to make the sacred tent and its furnishings. Not only have I filled him with my Spirit, but I have given him wisdom and made him a skilled craftsman who can create objects of art with gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood. I have appointed Oholiab from the tribe of Dan to work with him, and I have also given skills to those who will help them make everything exactly as I have commanded you." Exodus 31:1-6

 

Our mission is to continue the work of Bezalel and his assistant, Oholiab, to give our own God-given artistic talents in service to this church, so that we may reflect the glory of God and the joy we have in worshipping here.

 

We regularly meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM to share a time of fellowship, devotion, and prayer. Additional dates and times are scheduled for any ongoing projects.

Grief Journey

 

Grief is a difficult journey for all of us. The Grief Journey group meets every Sunday evening at 5 pm.

If you have lost a loved one, and the idea of facing another day seems impossible, we invite you to join us as we support each other through the process of grieving.

 

This group has two service projects: coordinating an annual memorial service open to all, celebrating the life of a loved one, and sending grief resources to persons who have recently lost a loved one.
