Here is a brief list of our ongoing or regular activities. Contact the church office, see our calendar or see the current Soundings newsletter for more information.
Addictions Ministry
A team of compassionate people, informed about addiction issues, serving as a resource to deal with misconceptions about addictions of all types and help people find recovery. The team hosts a Chalice Circle that meets the last Sunday of each month after church. We host occasional workshops, have lead worship services and provide information resources to members of the congregation and community. We also participate in Addictions Ministry activities throughout the District.
Chalice Circles
Chalice Circles are small groups of people who gather outside of Sunday morning services and other church activities just to be together. Chalice Circles are about sharing our life experiences, not about advising, teaching, explaining, discussing, or therapy. Chalice Circles meet once or twice a month. Dates and times are decided by each group. You can also get involved as a facilitator or co-facilitator, or help found a new group altogether. However you wish to participate, your involvement will be welcome.
