Next Steps
This Week & Beyond
Here are some ways you can be
involved at Still Waters.
The Sanctuary Course
Join us for the Wednesday Night Small group this summer at 7:00 p.m. beginning June 11, and meeting for 8 weeks as we work through The Sanctuary Course and engage in conversations on the topic of mental health. Designed to raise awareness and start conversations in local churches regarding mental health, The Sanctuary Course was created by Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries and is for anyone who wants to explore the topic of faith and mental health. It requires no previous training or expertise—just a willingness to engage in dialogue with others. This course and films address difficult and sensitive topics, and may not be appropriate for a young audience. It is not recommended for people ages 17 and younger. Facilitated by Jena.
Soul Care Book Study
Join us Mondays at 7:00 p.m. for an hour of study and connection, beginning June 16 for 7 weeks. (I know it’s summer- come when you are in town!) The world has a way of depleting us! If you’re like me, the demands and disappointments of life can leave me feeling exhausted. This study will explore the interconnected nature of restoration of our body, mind, and spirit, that so often feels just out of reach. We will discover life-giving rhythms that involve our physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, our inner worlds, our boundaries and so much more. Join us for a study that seeks to holistically care for ourselves… our souls. When we care for our souls, everyone in our world is impacted! Facilitated by Pastor Lori. The book is $10. Sign up on the Connection Card or on our website.
Summer Walk ’n Connect
Every Tuesday at 9am
Join us for our new Summer Walk and Connect! We’ve had several people start walking on our ‘walking path’ here at church- it’s been awesome! Starting this Tuesday, June 10, we’ll meet in the church lobby, Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. this summer. From there, together we’ll walk on the path around our church property, enjoying nature, each other, and a healthy way to start our day. That walk takes about 20 minutes. For any interested, after our walk, Pastor Lori will lead us for 15 minutes in devotion time outside, using the “Prayers from Iona” resource. Open your day with friends, community, connection, and God! See Robin Olson or Pastor Lori for details.
Each year for Vacation Bible School we do a drive to make an impact on the community around us. This year we are collecting toys for the Wisconsin Children's Hospital. Please see their Amazon wishlist below for their most needed items. The items on this list are the most preferred items to receive at this time. To keep their kids safe from infection, all donated items must be new (store-bought and in their original packaging) and cannot contain latex. All donations must be free from violence or otherwise inappropriate themes, unhealthy habits or religious themes. Bring toys in anytime in July as we gear up to celebrate children through VBS the week of July 28!
