Confirmation classes will run September 17 – February 2024 in the Youth Room from 3:30-5:00 pm.

Confirmation is a time for students to sincerely examine their faith, to learn what it means to be a member of the Church (both the Body of Christ and the United Methodist Church), and to confirm or reaffirm their baptism and faith publicly. The class is open to all 8th-12th grade students and will be led by Jeff Ackenback, and Sarah and Dan Messner. Questions? Please contact Sarah at   . 

To register your student for Confirmation, please visit our online sign-up form.

NOTE: Yoga continues to meet on Mondays from 12-1 pm in the Community Room through September. However, the class will NOT meet on Monday, October 2 due to the instructor being out of town. Classes will then resume their normal schedule on Monday, October 9. 

Christian Yoga meets at Faith Community every Monday from 12-1 pm in the Christian Living Center (CLC). This class incorporates scripture, prayer and praise into the exercise routine and helps draw the participant into a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Gentle movement exercises will consist of standing and chair exercises; floor exercises with mat are optional. Yoga has been shown to improve overall health, decrease stress/anxiety, and reduce pain to help you get in shape and glorify God through Mind, Body and Spirit!

This will be a combined floor/chair exercise class so you can do yoga exercises on your own yoga mat or in a chair (available). Cost is $5 per class. Masks are optional for this class. For more information, please contact Ann at or 513-257-1725. 

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202. 

For questions, please contact Barbara Wentz at 513-382-6781or  or Lorrie Lin at 513-284-9417 or

Many times in the Bible, the Lord encourages his people to turn to him with fasting and prayer. We’re pretty good about the prayer part; but fasting? Perhaps, not so much.  

I am inviting us all into a 24-hour period of fasting and prayer, beginning the evening of Tuesday, October 10. Personally, I will begin the fast by serving and partaking in the Sacrament of Holy Communion in the Sanctuary on October 10 at 7 pm. All who wish to receive the sacrament before beginning their fast are welcome to join me. You can also begin fasting on your own. 

During our time of fasting, we will also be holding a 24-hour prayer vigil. Please consider signing up for a slot during the 24-hour prayer vigil so that we have someone praying at the church around the clock. Details on signing up will be coming soon. Please also make plans to pray on your own, at home or wherever you are, throughout the 24 hours. 

Join Us the Next Evening

Our time of fasting and prayer will culminate in a Worship Service of Healing, Hope and Renewal on Wednesday, October 11 at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. 

Our congregation is entering into a season of renewal and growth. Let’s not carry the wounds of the past into the new future God has for us. A Service of Healing, Hope, and Renewal will create a space for repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. It will be a worshipful time for us to acknowledge the pain our congregation has recently endured, and to find God’s healing touch and hope for our future. 

During the worship service, we will again receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion, so you can both begin and end your fast with the sacred bread and cup of Jesus Christ. 

Participate When and How You Can 

A 24-hour fast may not be advisable for some people. If that is the case for you, I invite you to adjust according to your needs. You can begin fasting after breakfast on October 11, or even after lunch. If fasting from food is not an option for you, choose something else from which you can abstain as an act of submission to the Lord. I encourage everyone to observe some period of fasting leading up to the Service of Healing, Hope, and Renewal, so that we can all break the fast together with the sacrament. 

I am confident that this season of fasting and prayer, concluding with the Service of Healing, Hope and Renewal, is going to set us free from the past and propel us into the wondrous future God has waiting for our church. But first we must all humble ourselves and seek the Lord. I pray that you will join me. 

Blessings, Pastor Andy

The “Time Out for Men” group invites men of all ages to join us for our Fall Kick-Off on Saturday, September 23 from 7:30-9:00 am in the Parlor. We will share breakfast together, followed by the first session of the “Jesus in our Generation” Bible study featuring Ben Stuart. To watch a short video about this study, please scan the QR code.

Every generation approaches the world a bit differently, impacting their view of God, self, and neighbor. For adults, major advances in technology and rapidly changing social and political landscapes have left us scrambling to find, or even define “truth.” How do we adapt to today’s cultural revolutions? 

We encourage men to take “time out” from daily life to deepen your faith and add supportive friendships here at Faith Community. We typically meet every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. If you unable to join in person, we'd love to have you join us via Zoom! For more information, contact Jim Busse at  

We invite you to join us any third Sunday of the month for Next Connect! This brief gathering will be offered immediately after our 9:30 am worship services (around 10:40)

During Next Connect, we will share what we believe at Faith Community, and how we live that out through our worship opportunities, ministries and programs.

Our goal in this brief gathering is to:

• Share Faith’s Mission and Vision
• Highlight our main forms of communication for you to engage in the life of the church
• Discuss ministry opportunities for you to grow in your relationship with God and others.
• Answer any questions you may have about connecting to our Faith Community family.

Please meet Pastor Andy (or Youth Director Jeff Ackenback) in the coffee area (located by the main doors) right after the 9:30 am worship service. We look forward to seeing you!

Confirmation classes will run September 17 – February 2024 in the Youth Room from 3:30-5:00 pm.

Confirmation is a time for students to sincerely examine their faith, to learn what it means to be a member of the Church (both the Body of Christ and the United Methodist Church), and to confirm or reaffirm their baptism and faith publicly. The class is open to all 8th-12th grade students and will be led by Jeff Ackenback, and Sarah and Dan Messner. Questions? Please contact Sarah at   . 

To register your student for Confirmation, please visit our online sign-up form.

Join us every Monday from 12 noon - 1 pm in the Community Room for Christian Yoga. This class incorporates scripture, prayer and praise into the exercise routine and helps draw the participant into a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Gentle movement exercises will consist of standing and chair exercises; floor exercises with mat are optional. Yoga has been shown to improve overall health, decrease stress/anxiety, and reduce pain to help you get in shape and glorify God through Mind, Body and Spirit!

This will be a combined floor/chair exercise class so you can do yoga exercises on your own yoga mat or in a chair (available). Cost is $5 per class. Masks are optional for this class. For more information, please contact Veronica Ellison at  or (513) 777-9533 x 108. 

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202. 

For questions, please contact Barbara Wentz at 513-382-6781or  or Lorrie Lin at 513-284-9417 or

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202.

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202.

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202.

During the ESL class, we have a special Kid's Group available for kids ages K-5th grade in room 304 with supervised activities and lessons. 

The “Time Out for Men” group invites men of all ages to join us for our Fall Kick-Off on Saturday, September 23 from 7:30-9:00 am in the Parlor. We will share breakfast together, followed by the first session of the “Jesus in our Generation” Bible study featuring Ben Stuart. To watch a short video about this study, please scan the QR code.

Every generation approaches the world a bit differently, impacting their view of God, self, and neighbor. For adults, major advances in technology and rapidly changing social and political landscapes have left us scrambling to find, or even define “truth.” How do we adapt to today’s cultural revolutions? 

We encourage men to take “time out” from daily life to deepen your faith and add supportive friendships here at Faith Community. We typically meet every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. If you unable to join in person, we'd love to have you join us via Zoom! For more information, contact Jim Busse at

Are you a caregiver? If you help care for another adult, whether or not that person lives in your home, in a nursing home, or in their own home, you are a caregiver. You are a caregiver whether you devote as much as 24 hours per day or as little as 5 minutes a week to someone you care for.

Caregiving is stressful. Caregivers are more likely than their non-caregiving peers to be a risk for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. You are particularly at risk for caregiver burnout -- a state of mental and physical exhaustion brought on by the physical, emotional and financial stresses of providing ongoing care, usually over a long period of time. Caregiver burnout is the most cited reason for caregivers placing a loved one in a nursing home.

Caregiving for a loved one can leave you frustrated and angry at times. That’s normal -- but you don’t have to go through it alone. Research shows that having support is one of the best, most effective ways of reducing caregiver stress and frustration. A caregiver support group can be a lifeline, providing a place to share feelings, make new friends, get help navigating the health care system, and learn from and lean on others who are walking a similar path.

Please join us for our monthly Caregivers Support Group that meets on the 1st Monday of every month, from 2-3:30 pm in Room 202.
