Fall Equipping 2023
Equipping is a time for everyone in our community to receive training, resources, and to learn together. Below are the opportunities being offered this Fall.
GriefShare
Led by Led by Dennis and Jill Jezierski
GriefShare is a thirteen session, Christ-centered, support group for those journeying through one of life’s most difficult experiences – grieving the loss of a loved one.
Group members gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help them deal with loss and look forward to rebuilding life. Each week the GriefShare group will watch and discuss a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects as well as what is going on in their lives. During the week group members will have the opportunity to use a workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out emotions through journaling.
Dates: Wednesday, September 20th – Wednesday, December 13th
Time: 6:30-8pm
Location: The Lounge, Mill City Church (685 13th Ave. NE, Minneapolis)
Led by Brian Turnquist and Kyle Marsh
Technology Today: Seeing Reflections of Ourselves in Black Mirror
Led by John Dunne
In this class we will explore together the big questions posed to us today by the exponential growth of technology by diving into Netflix’s dystopian anthology show, Black Mirror. With stand-alone episodes/films, Black Mirror probes what it means to be human in a technological world. While the show raises interesting, if not disturbing, questions, it refrains from giving answers, putting the onus on viewers to continue the conversation. This ongoing conversation is the prerogative of our class, as we reflect in Socratic fashion on what the show asks us to (re)consider about our tech use and tech habits in the light of the Christian tradition. To facilitate this discussion we will watch an episode each week and read an essay from John Dunne’s book, Theology and Black Mirror (published by Fortress/Lexington).
Disclaimer: This show is rated TV-MA. Only a few episodes will be watched for the class, and if you want to preview an episode prior to signing up we encourage you to avoid episode 1 as it does not represent the show well and has unusually disturbing themes.
Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:30AM, 10/08-11/12, Atrium room
Mindful Money
Led by Generosity Team
Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:30AM, 10/08-11/12, Atrium room
Discipleship & Mission Intensive
Led by: Stephanie O’Brien, Aashish Baskaran & Jeremy Snoberger
At Mill City, our hope is to equip people to follow The Way of Jesus in an increasingly complex world. While there are many equipping options at Mill City, this fall we are launching a new opportunity called The Discipleship and Mission Intensive. This intensive will create a high challenge/high support environment for those who are ready to engage in a more intentional and intensive format of learning and practicing The Way of Jesus.
Our hope is that this intensive will deepen the discipleship culture in our community, leading to more individuals and families living as committed disciples on mission in their everyday spaces. The Discipleship and Mission Intensive is for anyone who is ready to be challenged to grow in their trust in Jesus and to commit to going deeper in their dedication to live The Way of Jesus.
