Wednesday Night Meals & Classes

6 pm – Parish Hall and Throughout the Church
Selected Dates, First and Third Wednesdays

Roughly every other Wednesday, we gather in the parish hall for a homecooked meal. Members of the church prepare a meal and share it with whoever pops on in. The meal is free, but donations are accepted. At 6:30 pm, there is a forum for adults and young adults. Come and participate in the conversation. Concurrently, there is a Confirmation preparation class for students in 9th – 12th grade. High school students who would like to participate but have already been confirmed are invited to participate as mentors.

Join a Small Group

Times and Locations Vary

Once a season, we begin a round of small groups where 5 – 10 adults gather to discuss a book, participate in Bible Study, or engage a certain spiritual practice. These groups are always changing and there are always entry points for new people. Please see the Messenger Newsletter for the most up to date information about small groups.

Practicing the Way resumes on Thursday, September 18
