Wednesday Night Fellowship
The Wednesday Night Fellowship (WNF) is open to
members, non-members, and visitors of all ages.
WNF is an intergenerational program to provide
a meal, fellowship, and adventures for all age
groups. WNF meets on Wednesday nights in four 6-8 week
sessions throughout the academic year.
So Many Choices – So little Time!
WNF was designed to adapt to your busy schedule.
You may join us for a meal, an adventure, or both.
Commit to an entire session, or come and go as you
please. And, if your child is too small to be part
of an adventure, the nursery is always available,
and it's an adventure of its own!
Meal
The meal is tasty family fare that takes place
in the large fellowship hall at 6:00 p.m.
The cost now is $4.00 per adult, $2.00 per child,
or $10.00 per family, and college students eat free!
Adventures and Quests
Adventures and quests follow the meal, running
from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m. These opportunities are
located in various rooms throughout the building
(and sometimes throughout town).
Faith Factory
Faith Factory is the adventure for Pre-K through
5th grade. The children will watch the Faith Factory
being built as they work on building their own faith
through crafts, games, and activities and lessons
with a mission.
Try It! You'll Like It!
Whatever your interests or age, from Pre-K
through post-retirement, we probably have
something for you. Opportunities include
games and sports, service projects, crafts,
cooking, story times, fellowship times,
music opportunities, and courses on topics
such as spirituality, genealogy, auto mechanics,
and what inquiring minds need to know.
