July 5-11 | Alaska
This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Praying Pelicans Mission for an incredible journey to Alaska! Known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming communities, Alaska is a vast land with unique challenges. Home to around 730,000 people, half of whom live in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, many Alaskans reside in remote areas only accessible by planes, boats, and ATVs. Despite its natural beauty and vibrant summer tourism, Alaska faces deep struggles, including poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction. On this mission trip, you’ll team up with local churches, nonprofits, and Christian camps to make a positive impact.
REGISTRATION FULL
Sundays, December 1, 8, & 15 | Dining Hall
Join us for an engaging adult Sunday school series exploring the nativity story through the lens of fine art. Together, we will examine depictions of often-overlooked characters in the birth of Christ and consider the theological themes they highlight. Through the beauty and depth of these artistic works, we’ll deepen our understanding of the story beyond the familiar manger scene.

Contemplative Christian practice quiets the mind to allow for the experience of God’s presence in that moment and (eventually) in every aspect of life. Our Contemplative Christianity class offers the opportunity for group study, discussion, and experience of this ancient-yet-modern Christian approach to knowing God. We share a group reading and discussion, often accompanied by a practice opportunity.
Janis Claflin facilitates the class and is happy to answer questions, 512-657-5498, jcforpeace@gmail.com.
