OUTREACH BOARD
      Since 1995 Pastor Jack Brown, minister of the Olivet Congregational Church, and Frank Palacio of Olivet have been leading short-term mission teams to Mission Mazahua in the Central Highlands of Mexico which serves the Mazahua indigenous people.  There are about 250,000 living in Mazahua.  It is estimated that over 70 percent of the children of these subsistence level corn farmers are undernourished.   Many drop out of school by 3rd grade to assist with their family's income.  The mission helps with health, hygiene, clean water, distribution of second-hand wheelchairs to the disabled, camps and life-skill conferences for the disabled, second-chance education, technology from inexpensive local resources, supplying fruit trees, assistance with milling of grain, education of local pastors (most of whom farm full-time and have had limited education), medical clinics, assistance with housing for those left homeless, training artisans for supplemental income and other people helping services. 

BOOK GROUP
    The Book group has selected "Simply Christian" by N. T. Wright as the focus of our discussion. Due to the upcoming Lenten Season with special services taking place, our meeting schedule is somewhat erratic: we will meet 2nd and 4th Wednesday. All gatherings will be at 7:00 p.m. During the winter, we will meet at Jerry and Yarka Pala’s house, 2298 Scenic Drive.

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL
    If you thought adults do NOT need to have Sunday School, you would be wrong. Within the Congregational Heritage there is a great emphasis on the need for the adults of the congregation to engage in study and reflection. Through the winter and spring, our class will be reading and discussing favorite Bible stories. We have already looked at the story of Jonah and the story of the woman at the well. You will have a chance to add your favorites to the list. Looking for something Congregational to do before worship? Join us in class.
