Weekly Digital Bulletin


We are glad you are here and we hope this place and these people feel like home to you. Whether you are a first time guest or a regular attender, we are better with you here. We are #TogetherForTheGood. Use this information to stay connected, follow along, and engage your faith and the community during the week. Feel free to explore this site to learn more about our church and liturgy

We welcome everyone here, regardless of who they are or where they have been. We receive communion (the Eucharist) weekly and practice an open table – all are welcome to participate. To eliminate any and all barriers to participation we use grape juice and vegan, gluten free bread.

If you have a little one here, we want you to know we are unbothered by noise and activity and a child being a child. There is an area toward the back where they can play if you’d like. If you need a quiet place for whatever reason, including diaper changes, the last room on the right is set aside for your use.

We focus prayers on the needs of our community both as a congregation and outside our walls. Each week we ask you to pray for the ministries and health of a church in our city, as well as a group of people who are likely to need the extra prayer support.​

Wichita Area Church: Northridge Friends Church

Special Focus: This week we remember our neighbors who lack housing. We pray for their comfort, safety, and the meeting of all their needs. We pray for an end to personal and systemic issues that keep people vulnerable. And we pray that our hearts would be moved to help.

We encourage you to find ways to engage your faith beyond Sundays. The things we focus on and the actions we take help form our faith, values, and lives.

  • Podcasts – Here are podcasts that we listen or have listened too on things of faith. You may not always agree with them, they come from a variety of backgrounds, but they can help you grow and stretch your faith.
    • Forward Movement – Multiple podcasts for daily prayer or devotional reading from the Episcopal Church. Podcasts are a great way to add prayer and reflection to your daily spiritual practice. Listen on your morning walk, evening commute, or anywhere in between.
    • BEMA – The BEMA Podcast is a walk-through of the context of the Bible and the Text itself, as well as surrounding history. We deconstruct our common readings of the Bible and attempt to reconstruct them through the lens of historical context.​​​
    • The Bible for Normal People – A weekly podcast having serious talks about the sacred book. Hosted by Peter Enns and Jared Byas. 
    • Bible Worm – A weekly look at the Narrative Lectionary text we look at in our worship gatherings. One host is a Christian pastor and one is a Jewish scholar. 
  • The Daily Examen – a daily prayer practice that looks back on your day. Some info and resources at this link, adapt as needed.
  • Volunteer – We have roles you can help fill around our community and gatherings or you can find some place to connect on your own. We like sending people to ShowerUp and HumanKind, or you can look for opportunities at Volunteer ICT.
  • Pause – Practice times of intentional silence or stillness. Take slow walks. Spend time outside. Build rest into your rhythms.

We believe in living a life of generosity as individuals and a faith community. We long to be a resource for the needs of our city and world through radical generosity. We invite you to follow Jesus and worship God through giving as you are able – and we commit to sharing those resources in ways that benefit those who need it.​

You can give financially via website or by placing cash or check in the giving boxes in our gathering space.
