We Are Not Alone: Lessons from Faithful Jesus Followers
Led by Pastor Rose Gallatin & Caleb Ellingson
This Equipping Hour is open to all middle and high school students.
Following the way of Jesus in an unpredictable world has been the experience of generations of Christians, and learning their stories can help us feel like we are not alone as we face our own challenging and unpredictable situations. In this Equipping Hour, we will look at the lives of different Jesus followers throughout history, and the lessons we can learn from their imperfect but faithful lives that will equip us to follow Jesus faithfully, too.
Sundays, February 15th – March 15th, 9:45-10:45 AM

Covenant in Real Life
Led by Pastor & Therapist Christian Ann Larson
This seminar has two tracks – one for those not currently in a relationship and one for couples to participate in together.
How do couples build thriving, trusting marriages in such a complex world? How can couples grow their trust in God and one another so they feel more confident to the life God has called them to? Take a day to learn (together) about what matters most in healthy covenants. During this evening, we will learn about attachment to God and one another. Time will be focused on building deep connections in the midst of vulnerabilities. Marriage is not for the faint of heart, so join us for this bold seminar!
Friday, March 20th, 6:30-9 PM
Location: Mill City Church (685 13th Ave NE) – Great Room
Many Journeys: Immigrant Stories in Their Own Words
Led by Pastor Steph O’Brien & Karla Bonilla
This seminar featuring members of the Mill City community who will share their personal immigration stories through a panel conversation. Together, these stories will reflect the wide range of experiences, paths, and realities that shape what it means to be an immigrant today. By listening directly to our neighbors, we are invited to learn beyond headlines and assumptions. This seminar matters because a single, simplified narrative can erase the complexity, dignity, and humanity of real people – and listening is one way we resist that.

Come join us for a morning of stories, community, and bacon! We’ll start with breakfast, move to hearing from a panel on what God has been doing in their lives, and end with an opportunity for table discussions on what stood out.

Groups
New to Mill City Group
Led by Amy Corriher
New to Mill City groups are designed as an intentional space for those who are newer to Mill City to get to know others who are also newer to our community. During this time we’ll discuss sermons and share our stories as an opportunity to connect with other group members. This group is highly relational and discussion based.
Every week we will spend time getting to know each other through community time questions (similar to the worship services) as well as engage with recent sermons through Dwelling in the Word, which is a way of engaging with Scripture, spiritually submitting to the text as one way God speaks to us with a willingness to be shaped by what God might want to say through the Scripture. It is listening for what God may be saying through a specific scripture passage. We will use these questions to guide our listening:
What grabs your attention in this passage?
What questions would you want to ask?
Where and in what ways do I feel the Spirit inviting me to listen and respond this week?
We’ll also leave some time at the end of each gathering to talk about ways to get more connected to the larger Mill City community and answer any questions you have.
