UPCOMING
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
The Wednesday Morning Women’s Bible Study has begun with a study on the Book of Philippians. Women of all ages are invited to gather each Wednesday from 9:15–11:00am in the SCPC Library for fellowship, prayer, and time in God’s Word. Together we’ll encourage one another, grow deeper in faith, and discover how Scripture speaks into our daily lives. Whether you’re brand new to Bible study or have been part of one for years, you’ll find a warm welcome and a place to belong.
Every Wednesday
IT’S COMPLICATED
Join us for IC (It’s Complicated), a gathering for young adults every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday evening in the Student Center. This is a space created for recent high school grads, college students, and young adults to connect, grow in faith, and share life together. Because let’s be honest—this season can feel complicated, but you don’t have to walk it alone!
Every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday
THE LOOKOUT
Every Wednesday
The Lookout is a fun, welcoming space created especially for middle schoolers to feel seen, valued, and connected. It is a place where students can bring their whole selves, ask honest questions, and begin exploring their faith in a way that feels engaging and relevant to their everyday lives. Through games, teaching, small groups, and caring leaders, Lookout helps middle schoolers build strong friendships, grow in their understanding of God’s love, and take meaningful steps in their faith journey. Join us every Wednesday from 7:00-8:30pm!
REFUGE
Every Wednesday
Refuge is a weekly space where high school students are invited to slow down, be known, and encounter God in a real and personal way. It is a place of safety and belonging, where questions are encouraged, faith is nurtured, and authentic community is built. Through meaningful conversations, Scripture, worship, and shared experiences, Refuge helps students grow in their relationship with Christ while forming lasting friendships rooted in grace, trust, and hope. Join us on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30pm!
PASTOR DAVE RICKETTS MEMORIAL
May 9th
Pastor Dave Ricketts memorial will be held on Saturday, May 9th at 2:00pm. Pastor Dave had a gift for making people feel known, and in turn, so many came to know and love him. We are holding his wife Siv and their two sons close in our prayers and in our community, and we invite you to do the same. If you have a memory or a story of Dave's impact in your life, we would love for you to share it — send it to StoriesofDave@scpres.org so that Siv and his family can read through them and be encouraged. This Celebration of Life will be a time for all of us to gather, grieve, give thanks, and remember well. We are not meant to carry sorrow alone. Come draw near with us.
REFUGE NIGHT OUT
Refuge Night Out is happening on May 13 from 7:00–8:30pm. This is a fun, low-key night for high school students to hang out, connect with friends, and enjoy time together in a relaxed setting. This will be one of our last gatherings together this season, and we’d love for everyone to be there as we soak up time, laughter, and connection.
