Dwelling on Tuesdays
10am in the living room

Dwelling in Scripture is a simple way to read (and listen) to the Bible. This practice of listening and sharing nurtures faith and community.

Come and join Pastor Beth and others as we read and discuss the Scripture for the coming Sunday.

We will have time to listen to each other and get to know each other. Coffee and treats will be found too. Each month we venture to a new breakfast spot to carry this dwelling into the world.

Come give it a try. You are welcome each week or as your schedule permits.

Voice of Community Conversation Circles
September 22 at 10am

In the flurry of too much, Mount Olivet is creating space to listen and to speak as a church -- to hear another's story and to share our own. We trust that what is shared will shape the future for Mount Olivet, and most importantly, offer the rarest gift, the gift of being heard.

Come be a part of small group circles where you listen to other community members.

Voice of Community - A Bible Study
October 13 - November 3

Come to connect and learn stories of community from the New Testament led by Dr. Ron Troxel. Ron is a retired Pastor and Professor of Religion and Semitic Studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and has found a place at Mount Olivet with his wife Jacki.

Over four weeks, Ron will dwell and teach from stories of the early church, as we all discover the joys and the challenges of forming Christian community.
