For Children
After Food and Fellowship, from 6:00 - 6:45 five to ten year-olds can go deep with "The Way of the Child" curriculum. Sessions begin with Thai Chi and/or yoga poses that strengthen bodies and mental focus, and kids then move to reflective child-friendly stations where they can discover different approaches to prayer and mindfulness.

Spiritual Book Study
This group will meet for at least two times to discuss a book on a spiritual subject. Books we are looking to study: The Book of Joy, Dalai Lama & Bishop Tutu; Tatoos on the Heart, by Fr. Gregory Boyle. Books will be announced three weeks in advance of the study.
Dream Group
Pastor Kelly leads this group, exploring the spiritual wisdom to be found in Dreams. Participants will need to attend the Dreamwork Intro session (This will take place on 9/12 and another date TBD). Dream Group will begin on Tuesday, September 26th.
Companions in Christ
Companions in Christ is a small group experience in Spiritual Formation. It guides participants in learning basic forms of prayer/meditation and how to read Scripture for formation, (instead of information). This group will begin on September 26th. While the hope is that the group can meet for the full 24 weeks, there will be many breaks.
