Faith Formation
SOTH is a community of people on a journey of Christian spiritual formation. This is a lifelong process of greater wholeness with God, with others, and with oneself. We see education as a key component of spiritual formation but believe it also encompasses aspects such as spiritual practices, service, worship, play, retreats, music, creation care, engagement with neighbors, justice, relationships, and experiences. Here you will find opportunities for all ages to explore, discover, and grow in faith. All with the goal of deepening our capacity to impact the world with God’s love.
Sunday Morning Adult Faith Formation
Rhythms of Sabbath
April 27 - June 22
​
What does Sabbath mean to you? While Pastor Matt is on sabbatical, our Adult Formation classes will explore themes of Sabbath and Rest. Do you practice Sabbath or intentionally set aside time for rest? After an introduction on April 27th, we will be experiencing some practices that may help re-frame your ideas about sabbath and help you connect more deeply to God.

Children's Ministry
Kids Connection is for kids in grades K-6th. They meet during worship on Sundays. This is a time for kids to learn Bible stories, develop relationships, and grow in God’s love. Sign your kids in and out at the downstairs counter.
We will meet through May and then recess for the summer. Kids Connection celebration on May 18th!
CLUB 3/4/5/6
Second Sunday of the Month at 2:00-3:30pm in the Library
Our 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Graders are all invited to join us for our newest ministry and opportunity. A chance to gather as not-yet-teenagers exploring all the fun stuff of this age group. We will explore and discover BE-Tween topics, share, have snacks, experience hands on mission projects and just have fun together!
CLUB 3/4/5/6 will not meet in May on Mother's Day and instead will gather on June 8th for a Tween Pentecost Party at 2pm.
Kids in Worship
Children of all ages are encouraged to participate in Worship on any Sunday. While we offer Nursery and Kids Connection most Sundays, we also encourage families to spend time worshipping together. We offer Worship Bags and we encourage you to check out our new Kids Worship Space in the sanctuary where there are activities for kids to engage in the worship experience.
Nursery Care is for babies and toddlers 0-4yrs old. There are always at least two adults manning the nursery on Sunday mornings. Check-in downstairs on Sundays from 9:15-10:45 during Worship.
