The Funtastics is a social group that was originally called the Contemporary Club when it was started in the 1960’s. The group is comprised of singles and couples age 40 years and older. The Funtastics meet every other month, either at other member’s homes for picnics, pig roasts, brunches and such or at restaurants and theatre shows. Come and join the fun!

Shiloh has participated with a group of social, religious, and judiciary bodies to form a Natural Helpers Coalition. Designed by a grant proposal of the Wright State University Center for Interventions, Treatment, and Addiction Research, and under the direction of Shiloh’s own Richard Rapp, the Natural Helpers Coalition seeks to assist youth and their families through the drug and alcohol diversion process. At this moment, the grant proposal has made two of three steps and we are gearing up for a visit from the site team, scheduled for late November, 2001. The basic notion is that youth and families within the court-ordered drug and alcohol diversion program might benefit significantly by being in relationship with and getting the support of social and religious institutions in our community. The religious or social institution would then simply do what it does naturally by welcoming, embracing, empowering, and strengthening the individual and family. We are very excited about Shiloh’s participation in this program and we hope that we can serve, through it, many youth and families. The present quilting group was started in 1967, although there had been quilting activities in the past. Presently, there are fifteen quilters but we always welcome anyone who loves to quilt or would like to learn….we’d love to teach you. We meet each Tuesday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and/or Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. in the Murr Room which is the most southeast corner, first floor of the Sunday School (Christian Education) wing. Each year we make a quilt to be raffled at the fall fair, but our main purpose is to quilt completed tops for others. We’re usually about five years behind, so we need quilters! We keep three quilts “going” and quilt only on one side of the frame. The camaraderie is unique and most enjoyable….we learn a lot from each other for there is a lot of talent in our group. For further information, please call Jane Schwenkel Women in Action is a service and social group open to all women of the church, with eight scheduled meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.

A Fellowship Luncheon and Annual Card Party are money making projects with profits being used for various needs throughout the Church. The group is for adult women and meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month for eight months of the year. Contact Bobbie Harbach for more information.
