4th of July Fundraiser - Our church traditionally has a fundraiser at the 3rd Street entrance during the 4th of July festivities. The cause we are raising money for might change each year, but the fun and fellowship are enjoyed each year.

Adult Social Activities - Periodically there are Adult Social Activity evenings. It might be a progressive dinner or a game night, but mostly it's a time to laugh and be in fellowship with others.

After Worship Fellowship (AWF) - After worship on Sunday mornings, all are invited to a fellowship time either in the Fellowship Hall or in the gathering space. Donut holes, coffee and lemonade are the usual fare, but on special occasions other treats are served. This is an excellent fellowship opportunity for our congregation to greet new and old friends.

All Church Winter Retreat- Every February a weekend is set aside for the church to enjoy Moon Beach Camp near St. Germain. The weekend is a relaxing retreat to get to know church friends better and be in fellowship.

 

Annual Church Picnic - The Church Picnic is usually held at a public park in Wisconsin Rapids. An outdoor service has been part of the picnic the last several years. Brats and hot dogs are cooked and the rest is potluck. Often, games are included to entertain.

Get Ready! - Almost every Friday morning at 10 am, we gather to explore the scripture reading that will be read and preached on that Sunday. And so, we are getting ready for that, but Get Ready! also helps us to prepare for everyday Christian life. This Bible study involves a lot of free-flowing discussion and sharing. People who attend this Bible study find that Sunday's worship and sermon are much more meaningful. Feel free to drop in and join us to help yourself Get Ready!

Walking Tall:Working Through Grief Together - Everyone will loose someone they are close to at some point in their life. Grief is a unique journey for each person. Managing it and providing support with the understanding that each person's journey is unique is important. As a caring congregation, we walk with individuals going through grief in a number of ways; during illness and the final days, celebrating the life of the one who has passed and continuing support for those left behind. Walking Tall meetings can be scheduled for those experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one to provide a continued network of support for as long as necessary. Contact the church office at 715-423-0350 for more information.

Hanging of the Greens - The Hanging of the Greens takes place the Sunday after Thanksgiving and involves the congregation in decorating our church for the Christmas season. A lunch is served after the job is done.

 

Halloween Party - There is usually a Halloween Party hosted by adults and older youth serving the younger members of the congregation and their friends. Pinatas are made to entertain the children. A maze is set up for fun. Children come in costume ready to receive lots of treats.

 

Knitting - The knitting group meets monthly during the school year working on learning knitting as well as working together on knitting projects to help others. The knitting group has made prayer shawls and plans to work on children's toys this year.

Open Youth Room - The Youth Room is equipped with a pool table, ping pong table, board games and room to have fun. At designated times the Youth Room is open for youth and their friends to come for fellowship and planning youth events. Open Youth Room is available after church services on Sundays.

Pancake Breakfast Easter Sunday - Often there is a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Easter morning involving many of the youth in a time of fellowship with a cause. In 2011 funds were used for World Vision's Famine Relief Fund.

Potluck Suppers - Potluck suppers are held periodically during the year for fellowship.

 

Quilting - The quilting group meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Quilters can learn from each other, work on individual projects or combine efforts to serve a mission of one kind or another.

Softball Team - Each summer our church sponsors a softball team that plays in a church league. The softball team has certainly been a great fellowship opportunity for players and spectators alike. The team plays most Tuesday nights during the summer, and occasionally they play in a tournament.
