Getting to know yoU . . . and everyone else
Rev. Dr. Rebeca Radillo
We are constantly reminded of the cultural diversity in our neighborhood and city. We will celebrate and honor one another as we look at some of the histories, values, and expectations of the diverse families and individuals we encounter.
Watch our website and newsletter for details and location as the brunch dates approach; some will be here at Middle and others out in the neighborhood!
IGE events are experiences where children, youth, adults, and seniors come together to learn and grow.
Church Family Bingo, Movie Nights, Church Family Bowling, Game nights, and much more will be interspersed throughout the year to encourage us to fulfill our commitment to be “a village that raises our children.”
Led by Dr. Jacqui Lewis, these are advanced classes for those who will be or are currently serving in leadership positions at Middle Church. Engaging in current literature, sharing in provocative dialog and pushing each other’s assumptions helps us to not only become community but also create it at Middle Church.
