Ongoing Opportunities
Parent Group (no entry requirements!)
A weekly gathering that features a series of monthly opportunities for our parents (open to all!). With an eye towards developing group camaraderie, we’ll share:
- Soul Space with Sue Ulmer will be offered on the first Sunday of each month, a time for spiritual renewal.
- Down Under with Katy Hawker will be offered with each new story unit in our Church School, an introduction to the stories.
- Group Time convened by Chris Reinhard and Jane Miles, time to explore topics at the group’s discretion.
Topic Studies - vary as announced
- New Member Classes – three week sessions of exploration and community building offering information about both our local community and our denomination. Led by Al Schon, the next scheduled group begins on Dec. 5.
- Bible Study – The first six-week sessions beginning October 10 will use Amy Jill Levine’s “Old Testament” video series.
- and much more!
Also: Small Groups
Although Sunday mornings are a primary programming time, we encourage members to participate in learning with a variety of opportunities. Examples include the Contemporary Christian Writings group (meeting monthly as announced), a weekly (Lectionary based) Bible Study at Bethesda Orchard (Tuesdays at 10am), the Mom’s Group, the Men’s Breakfast and more. Groups welcome new members and are announced in the News and Notes and weekly worship bulletin.
