Men's Forum
The goal of the Men's Forum is to provide a biblically based group support for any
men. The Men's Forum meets in the church parlor from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. on
Tuesday mornings. The group provides a safe forum for sharing thoughts,
feelings, concerns and joys, all on a volunteer basis. The men individually sign up
to volunteer to lead the group study and discussion of a bible passage selected
several months ahead. The biblical lessons often stimulate personal sharing of
events in men's lives. There are no officers, no hierarchy, no dues, and no
attendance is recorded. Volunteers provide free coffee. The group is
ecumenical and welcomes any visitors. There is no obligation to attend, and
participation in discussion is optional. For more information, contact Dennis
Sadilek.
Women's Forum
The Women's Forum is an open forum for women of any denomination utilizing
the scriptures and other inspirational writings as a catalyst for conversation,
sharing and caring. The Women's Forum meets on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30
a.m. in the Church Parlor.
Presbyterian Women
The 2011-2012 Horizons Bible Study will be Confessing the Beatitudes by
Margaret Aymer. The Churchwide Coordinating Team of Presbyterian Women,
as a Bible Study Committee, selected the topic of the Beatitudes in Matthew and
Luke for the 2011-2012 study. Specifically, they requested that the study focus
on connecting faith with daily life, and that it address directly some of the most
difficult issues facing the world today: the economy, hunger, poverty, Christian
community, water issues, a woman’s role in society, faith and the public life, and
justice and peace.
All RPC women and friends are invited to “Confessing the Beatitudes” Bible Study
on Wednesday, February 22, at 10:00 a.m. in the RPC Social Hall.
