Prayer and Meditation
This small group is for those who want to start or strengthen a practice of daily meditation or will enjoy discussing the thoughts of a variety of Christian writers. We will be using the book “A Guide to Prayer for All of God’s People.” This book contains daily scripture readings and meditations on a weekly theme from a variety of writers. Participants will read about 5 pages each week plus time spent in prayer and meditation. As we meet, we will get to know each other and discuss what the readings for that week meant to us and our faith journey.
Fridays 10:00am – 11:30am beginning October 9th. Contact Ruth Stoddard
Food, Justice, and Community
This will be a great way to meet new people, make a positive impact on our local community and gain some close friends along the way. We will begin by touching on six core subjects: Food Sharing, Nurturing the body, Hunger, Food & Environment, Creating Community and Discerning God’s call. In other words we’ll be covering the health of our bodies, improving the access others have to food, how our food choices influence the health of our earth and the way we can use food to extend hospitality and enrich relationships. There will be lively conversation and food at each meeting so come join us on our journey to positively impact the local community with food and justice.

MOMS – Moms of Magnificent Spirit!
This small group is geared toward new moms, although moms with experience are welcome too (we need your advice)! Our casual gatherings will offer conversation and fellowship as we explore the joys and challenges of motherhood and pray for God’s guidance in this new adventure! The book, Living on Baby Time, by Susan Besze Wallace will provide us with conversation starters and guiding questions as we discuss life’s new responsibilities. We will listen and learn from one another and develop relationships, all through God’s guidance and love for us mommies!

Practicing Parenting
This PCHUM Parenting Small Group will meet regularly to support one another in life together as Christian parents. This will be a place to talk about faith at home with our children, and a place to pray for and encourage one another. For starters, we will meet for five consecutive Tuesday evenings and will plan on discussing kids and responsibilities, right and wrong, listening, the importance of creativity, and family traditions. Adults will meet in our living room and older kids are welcome to play upstairs with our two girls ages 9 and 11. Babysitting arrangements are open for discussion, too. Additional meeting times and dates will be determined by the interest of the group.
Tuesdays 6:45pm-7:45pm beginning September 29th. Contact Michele VanAllen
