It is Adult Discipleship’s goal to provide opportunities for continuing adult spiritual development while we are not able to meet in person. Some small group discussions can be at church as a choice. We do have a couple of individuals willing to be facilitators, to do both zoom and on-site meetings.

Small Groups meet twice each year — “A Time to Grow” by Kara Eidson will be used during the Lenten 2023 season. Please send this sign-up sheet to the church office to reserve your spot.
