Calling all adults who enjoy fellowship and food. Consider joining Round Robin this year. The more people that participate, the more fun is had by all.

 

Groups of 7 to 8 people will be assembled to meet together for dinner and fellowship 4-5 times from October through May. Groups can meet for potluck in homes or at church or they may meet at a restaurant. Each group is responsible for when and where it meets. The first dinner will have an assigned host who will assist in coordinating future dinners for your group. A sign-up sheet will be at the Welcome Center. Groups will be assigned by mid-October.

 

If you have any questions or want to sign up via email/phone/in-person, please contact Barbara Greicius at 651-340-9855 or email greicius2003[at]yahoo.com.

Susan Mullin, an active member of our church, joined our staff on June 1 as Coordinator of Faith Formation and Fellowship. In this position Susan will provide leadership for fellowship and faith formation programs for children, youth, and adults of all ages that allow us to build our relationships with each other and increase in our love of God and neighbor. She will work closely with the Christian Education team. Susan will also work with the Pastor Leigh Brown and the Worship Team to involve children, youth, and

lay adults in worship.

 

Susan is a certified candidate for ordination as deacon in the United Methodist Church, and recently received her M.A. in Religion and Theology from United Theological Seminary in New Brighton. She also received a B.A. in Geology from Carleton College in 1981 and an M.S. in Geology from the University of Minnesota in 1986. Since 1991, Susan has been working as an environmental consultant specializing in groundwater contamination problems. She also serves as the co-chair of Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light, a faith-based nonprofit organization working to engage communities of faith in responding to climate change.

 

Susan has a passion for social justice ministries and is interested in new ways to talk about God in a postmodern society. She served as a volunteer with Heifer Project at their ranch in Perryville, Ark., and then with the Mennonite Central Committee on an agroforestry project in Haiti. A member of Faith United Methodist Church since 2005, she has been active in our church in many roles, including missions, teaching Sunday School and confirmation, preaching, leading worship, music ministry and serving on the Staff-Parish Relations Committee and as lay delegate to annual conference.

 

We are very excited that Susan will be sharing her gift for ministry as a staff member at Faith Church!

Pastor Leigh Brown was ordained as an Elder in the United Methodist Church on Thursday, June 3, during the Minnesota Annual Conference in St Cloud.
