The Be the Bridge Book Club discusses books on racism in the church and society and how to confront it. As we gain a better understanding of these issues, we can become advocates for social justice.

The next Be the Bridge book club selection is "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How we can Prosper Together" by Heather McGhee. In this award-winning bestseller, McGhee embarks on a journey across the country, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm-the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. The group will meet in room 132 (church library) on June 11, June 25, and July 9, at 7p.m. to discuss this book. A Zoom option is available if you are unable to meet in person. Please email Louise Williams (louisewill@cox.net) to receive a Zoom link for this book club discussion.

The Intercessory Prayer Group prays on behalf of people facing spiritual, medical, financial, and relationship concerns. Prayer requests come from our congregation, community, and from throughout the world. Confidentiality is strictly observed and prayers for others are offered in a non-political, non-judgmental setting. The group welcomes men and women of all ages and experience.

The group meets for study, reflection, to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and fellowship. The group is currently studying the book "Serving from the Heart."

Small group meets regularly in person (with Zoom option) to discuss God and Christ-centered books that the group chooses. The group is flexible and open to more people attending.

Women of all ages who meet to enjoy fellowship, service and study various books, topics and Bible chapters with the intention of broadening our understanding of the arts and literature as they relate to living a life of following Jesus’ teachings. Our mission statement is: Serving women and their families through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

We study the Bible, books, and other resources to help us deepen our faith. On May 3rd, we will begin a 12 week in-depth study of the book "Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God" by Henry, Richard, and Mike Blackaby. All are welcome!

The Christian Meditation Group meets every Monday afternoon at 2:00pm in the church library. The group will begin on November 28th a study of "God is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We spend time in each gathering in a period of meditation.

House Church is a discipleship model that focuses on growing disciples by building community. During our gatherings, we will share a meal together and then spend time in prayer, worship, and study of scripture. House Church gatherings are communal, meaning that everyone is invited to participate as we share our gifts and experiences with one another. We believe this is a great model for building community both within the church and in our neighborhoods.

Are you an empty nester interested in meeting with other empty nesters? A small group meets regularly with a flexible format, discussing books that the group chooses. The time and date of the group is flexible, depending on the travel schedules of the members, and doesn’t meet as regularly as some of the others.
