The book of Judges is full of chaos, flawed leaders, and repeated cycles of failure… yet through it all, God’s faithfulness shines. In this study, we’ll see how God works in the middle of the mess to call His people back to Himself, and how His grace speaks into our lives today.

Christianity Explored

Sundays beginning September 28, 2025
Room 201

What’s the best news you’ve ever heard?
For Christians, that’s going to include the Gospel message, simple and clear enough that a child can understand and respond to it, yet complex and nuanced enough that people can study it for a lifetime without grasping everything there is to know.   With that in mind, Harvest is starting a new discussion group this September to help anyone gain a clearer picture of what the Bible tells us about ourselves, God, Christianity – and even the Bible itself.

Would you like more information, or have questions?  Are you already intrigued?  Use the link below to open up an email conversation.  And, because this is for those at any point in their discovery of Christianity, think about whether there’s someone you know who might be interested in something like this.

into the life of our church? If so, you’re invited to the Atrium Seeker Team Introduction and Training! (Current Atrium Seeker Team volunteers are encouraged to attend, too!).

Please email Bruce Wickersheim with the link below for more information.

Women's Fall Retreat  
Living Out Loud: The Joy  of Faith Expressed 

October 10 -12, 2025
At the Oregon Coast

This intimate retreat of fewer than a dozen women offers a rare chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and be renewed the beauty of God's creation and the fellowship of sisters in Christ. Together this weekend, we'll explore how God calls us to place our faith in Him for both the large and small moments of our lives. And, in the process, discover, that joy comes in when faith is lived out. Come ready to rest, reflect, and be inspired to let your walk with God overflow into every part of your life.
