Nivki Church of Christ has kept the UEC busy this fall by hosting a range of outreach and ministry events. Wednesday and Friday nights, church members have gathered at the UEC for prayer, fellowship, enjoying a simple meal, Bible teaching, and discussion. A different church member every week has given a talk on an episode from the life of Elijah or Elisha followed by small group discussions. About 40-50 people participate each week. In September, in addition to the larger church meetings, four spiritual training groups began meeting at the Center. These smaller groups encourage believers to be more active in living out their faith. Church members also conduct several individual Bible studies each week at the UEC. On Tuesdays, Chris Lovingood hosts two English outreaches; the two-hour meetings involve instruction in English grammar and the basic story line of the Bible. About 20 participate in these classes.

We are thankful that the UEC continues to support local churches in their growth and outreach to non-believers.
