This Core group is designed for women needing a team! Join us for Team Monday as we support one another, discuss the prior Sundays message and discussion questions, and pray for each other. This group will start in person at Rev. Tania's house and then it will be group consensus to move online if the ebb and flow of Covid should prompt us to change. Please register for this group here if you can commit to making to most in not all of the meetings.

Are you a woman looking to journey with other women towards habits of wholeness? Are you interested in trying surprising ways to practice kindness toward ourselves and generosity toward loved ones? If so, join this Core Group as they read and explore together the book The Bright Life by Jen Wise. Jen invites women to reclaim their energy through story and scripture. It includes a three-part practice of looking inward, upward, and outward. Learn how we are created to be healthy, strong, vibrant, and rest in the unforced rhythms of grace Jesus so lovingly makes available to us all. Please obtain the book on your own and bring it along to the first gathering.  Click here to register if you are free to attend most if not all meetings.

This 8-week core group will commit to walking around the church neighborhood while discussing the week's scripture and sermon-based questions. We will focus on the needs of our community while enjoying the outdoors and deepening our faith together. Good shoes and a readiness to walk for about 2 miles is what is needed. Severe weather will cancel the walking part and have us move into the church. Click here to register.
