The Mikvah Experience - Dates TBA
Again this year The Way will sponsor the Mikvah Experience for the larger Northway community.  “What is a mikvah?” you may be wondering.  A mikvah is a ritual bath for cleansing common among women in the Jewish community.  While it has been a part of the Jewish faith for millennia, the mikvah experience has recently been expanded to include rituals of healing and renewal—for people going through divorce, for couples unable to conceive, for survivors of abuse, for men and women searching for new direction in their lives.  This is the power of ritual:  to take a simple action, such as bathing in warm water, and turn it into a sacred act.
Our mikvah experience will be scheduled soon. The sanctuary and baptistry will be available for personal meditation in one-hour time periods.  You may sign up through Jennie Churchman by calling the church office or emailing jennie@northwaychristian.org.  Those who participated last year found it to be a healing, transforming experience and a wonderful way to begin the new year...more

Daily Bible Reading Discussion Group
If you have ever wanted to read the entire bible here is an excellent chance to make that happen. We are forming an accountability group that will have online discussions regarding our progress and addressing questions. Go to http://www.thewayncc.org/forum and sign in and request a membership to the discussion group. All are welcome, even if you only want to participate sporadically or choose to follow a different reading plan or daily devotional.  The point as to develop a daily habit. Some of us will be following the Daily Walk Bible - Tyndale Publishing.
It can be a life changing experience.
