Centering Prayer
The Centering Prayer Group celebrated its fifteenth anniversary in the fall of 2020. The group meets every Tuesday from 5:00 – 6:30 PM and is open to the community. Each gathering includes a check-in, quiet prayer and teaching. Contact Pat Moore or Watson Bowes for more information.
The Next Chapter (A small group for parents of adult children)
While graduation is nowhere near the end of the parent journey, there is often little support for parents, in the church or elsewhere, once their children have passed this threshold. The Next Chapter seeks to fill that gap by encouraging parents of graduates to connect, get to know each other, share their celebrations and concerns, and support each other through the many incredible stages of life that are yet to come.
The Next Chapter meets on the first and third Sundays of each month from 5:15-6:15 PM.
Contact the Rev. Dr. Karen Connor McGugan, Family and Youth Minister to learn more about these opportunities
