TAKING QUESTIONS! Don’t miss this opportunity!

Confirmation, Faith Formation, Latest News, Pastor John Strommenon August 26th, 2010No Comments

If you are a member or friend of Mt. Olivet, you’ve already received the brochure for “Taking Questions” -Wednesdays at Mt. Olivet. We are really excited to begin this new learning center on Wednesday nights this year.

What is the philosophy of this school? Simply this: too often the church is really proficient at offering answers to everything, but not always good at addressing questions real people are struggling with in the “trenches” of life. It is with those questions and in those trenches that we devote our discussions on Wednesday evenings. At Mt. Olivet, we are now taking questions!

Who is this school for? For everyone who is trying to connect their faith meaningfully to their lives! You need not be a member of Mt. Olivet to register. All in the community and beyond are invited.

More specifically, this course is for:
1) Parents with children and youth in any church program. There is nothing more important to your child’s faith development than for your child to see you develop your faith right along with him/her!
2) Curious adults at any stage of life who love to ask questions and then go on a journey to find answers.

If you have not registered yet, make sure you do so online! The link is on our website.

Don’t miss the first course that begins on September 15 with Dr. Pat Keifert who will address the question: “How can I fit God into my life?”

See you on Wednesday nights!

God’s Peace,
Pastor John

Mount Olivet Picture Directory

Latest Newson May 11th, 2010Comments Off

A new picture directory is going to be created on our website – and the goal is to have EVERYONE in it. This will help us get to know each other better and stay connected.

This will be different from past directories because if you have a recent photo that you’d like to have included in the directory, email or bring it in and it will be scanned and returned to you. Choose a photo that tells others what your family is about—formal or informal, silly or serious, traditional or nontraditional—it’s all good! Just remember we need to be able to see bright, shining faces, not hats and sunglasses!

OR Mount Olivet member and professional portrait photographer Sarah Lechinsky will be available to take your photo AT NO CHARGE. Sign up for photo sessions at the Welcome Counter.

Email your photo to mariewagner@mtolivet-plymouth.org, bring it to the church office, or sign up to have your photo taken at the Welcome Counter.
