Helping Hands Quilt

Helping Hands Quilts, quilts consisting of 9 blocks with a different shape, size and color of hand in each block, will be given to members of the church who have experienced a major life style change, such as a move to a nursing home or assisted living residency, surgery or accident that has left them unable to do what they have been accustomed to doing. Other members will sign the quilts volunteering to help the various people through that period of their life. The quilts will then be given to the people so that they know that they are not alone in dealing with this change.

Young At Heart

Young At Heart are a group of people aged 60+ who enjoy a day of fun and adventure. We travel to different places around Ohio to sightsee and, of course, enjoy lunch. The cost varies depending on admission prices and where we go to lunch.

Mifflin Walkers

On every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 am people of all ages are welcome to join us in the fireplace room in the lower level of the Church for devotions, walking and socializing. We have a course mapped out in the lower level where 14 laps equal one mile. Pennies are collected for each lap you walk. This is a great way to keep track of your laps while helping to support different charities, such as the Mifflin Puppets, a Gahanna Residents In Need (GRIN) Family at Christmas, and our youth mission projects. After your walk you can join us in the fireplace room for coffee.

Mifflin Athletics

Mifflin sees athletic endeavors as an opportunity for fellowship, but also as a means whereby those who have little association with the Christian Church can find a venue that is both comfortable and non-threatening. We sponsor athletic opportunities that are participatory - bowling league, softball league, golf outings, and volleyball leagues to name but a few. We also make frequent trips to OSU land to enjoy baseball, basketball and football games (when we can get tickets). These ventures are open to members and visitors alike.

Men's Prayer Breakfast

The men of the Church gather each Friday morning at 6:45 am sharp, September though May, to lift up to the Lord their joys and concerns in prayer; they are witnesses to its miraculous and transforming power.

The men take turns preparing a hot breakfast by volunteering to be on one monthly cooking team per year. The gathering concludes promptly at 7:30 am.

Prayer Partners

Mifflin’s Prayer Partner program pairs a child with a praying adult for each school year. Each adult commits to praying for their student/child partner for a minimum of 15 minutes per week from October through early June. The school year program has included Meet Your Prayer Partner lunches and encourages Christian fellowship and fostering of multi-generational relationships as well as focused prayer for our children.

Registration forms for children and adults are available each fall. Contact Mandi Shirley for more information: mshirley@mifflinpres.org.

Mifflin Puppets

Puppeteers 6th grade to 12th grade bring the Mifflin Puppets (Candle, Jason, Bugby, and Howard) to life once a month during worship service and at special performances thoughout the year. Puppeteers practice on Sunday mornings at 8:15 a.m.

Quilt Bee-lievers

Quilting Bee-lievers is a group of women who meet on the first and third Monday nights at 7:00 pm, who want to learn how to quilt or who already enjoy quilting and want to spend an evening sewing. We are currently learning a new technique call "paper piecing." We bring our sewing machines and other sewing tools and sew until our hearts are content (normally until around 9:00 pm). Watch this website for our next project.
