The Chosen Viewing

We are planning a weekly Watch Party outdoors on the Church property. Bring a blanket or chair! If we have inclement weather, we will be in the Fellowship hall. Water and snacks will be available. For those not aware, The Chosen is a TV Series centered around the early church. It includes a Christian-generated view of what the back-stories might have been of the early disciples Chosen by Christ based on scripture, and what we know from History. The episodes within the series are Very Well written and professionally produced creating a wonderful Outreach opportunity for both the churched and “unchurched” within our community. We encourage the entire congregation to participate within these viewings to 1) Enjoy the awesome story-lines portrayed within the video series; 2) Visibly model €œour church community€ for those who join us from outside for the event. The hope is that by being more visible as a church community (for the surrounding area), it will encourage more people to be interested in joining our compassionate community. Our next viewing of €œThe Chosen€ is Wednesday, 15 September 2021 @ 8:00 PM. If you are interested in being involved, and/or if you have specific ideas to contribute to these sorts of events contact Wayne Van Dine.

Sunday School

Join us each Sunday morning at 9:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall for our multigenerational Sunday school class. All ages are encouraged to attend. If you would like to help, please contact Ursula Pinckney.

Shut In Visitation Ministry

We are in the process of restarting our Shut-In Visitation ministry within the Congregation. Pastor Harris has agreed to visit our shut-in on a monthly basis to offer communion and absolution for those who are interested.  In addition, we have a number of individuals who have agreed to also visit with our shut-ins and other isolated individuals within the congregation.  Consistent with our Visioning, there is a real-need to continually connect with the other individuals within the congregation, especially during these troubling times.  Therefore, if you are a shut-in or know of any shut-ins within the congregation who would like to be visited by Pastor Harris and/or other individuals within the church, please let Wayne or the Church Secretary (churchoffice@felcodenton.org) know. Similarly, if you are interested in Visiting our Shut-Ins or isolated individuals let us know, and we can add you to that list as well.  Regardless, I encourage you to connect with other people within the congregation (and/or the community) in whatever capacity that the Lord leads you.  Caring for others is a specific role that the church has been given by our Lord, for the church.

Adult Bible Study

Join us for Adult Sunday School, each week at 9:00am (right before Church Services).  We have just begun a new series on Household of Faith which covers practical information regarding how to foster faith within our various households.  This study (as the series prior to those one) was initiated from discussions within the Visioning Process whereby it was recognized the need to provide information and training on discipleship into order be more effective as the Body of Christ.  For additional information, contact Wayne Van Dine at  churchoffice@felcodenton.org.

If you are between the ages of 20 and 30 and would be interested in joining our Bible Study, we meet on Wednesdays from 8-9pm.  We are currently studying Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s “Life Together” and would love to add more people to our conversations.
