2025
Connect Groups
Our church's theme for this program year is "Connection", as we journey together as a parish family into deeper relationships with one another and with God. Our Connect Groups have been a wonderful way to explore interests or hobbies, form new friendships, and nurture faith.
While most of our Connect Groups have wrapped up, a few are continuing into 2025 (see details below). We’re excited to announce new Connect Group opportunities and ways to get involved soon—stay tuned!

Caring Hearts Support Group
Location: Lynnhaven Room/ESC
Time: Second Sunday following the 10:30 a.m. service
Are you caring for a loved one and could use some support? The purpose of this small group is to provide a safe, supportive environment for caregivers to connect, share experiences and find emotional support with others who truly understand this journey. The plan is to meet the first Sunday of each month to find meaning, strength, and the blessings that come from caring for our loved ones. A light lunch will be served so please email Gail Coleman to RSVP for this initial gathering or if you have any questions.
