Virtual Camino Journey

How is your Meditative walking journey going?

Do you notice the rhythm in your movement and how each step touches the earth?
What do your senses observe in nature?
What changes do you notice as we approach Spring?
Do you have a favorite walking path or prayer to share?

Find someone else who is taking the journey and share your experiences at Coffee Hour.

Lenten Coffee and Conversation

Please join us in the Parish Hall for our first Coffee and Conversation of 2025 for a discussion led by local Camino de Santiago pilgrims, Ella Dujavsky and Harry Rolfes! Learn a bit about the Camino pilgrimage through the lens of a couple who traveled for a spiritual connection and gain an understanding of this popular travel experience to the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago, Spain.

Friends and family are welcome!

Ongoing

Bible Study

Wednesdays - 11:15 AM

in the church library.

Join us in contemplating the long walk of Jesus, the apostles, and disciples from Galilee to Jerusalem. On this walk, Jesus taught them what they would need in order to continue his work after the death and resurrection. Those in Bible Study will incorporate their own pilgrimages and spirituality into the crowd that will continue to grow as it reaches the Holy City. We of this time also have much to glean from this subject in this gospel.

There is always a place at the table for you. Please give us a visit and a try on any Wednesday

Next meeting on April 9

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The children meet in the atrium the 1st - 3rd Sundays of each month (please visit anytime); and remain in the sanctuary to participate in the service on the 4th (& occasional 5th) Sunday.
