Congregational Life ministry will be offering new and different small group activities. The vision of the Congregational Life ministry is to foster and strengthen faith in God and church through relationships, to engage and to support others in their faith. Our goal is to offer specific fellowship opportunities that will bring together members of the congregation with similar interests.

The Ladies' Book Club will begin meeting soon. If you are interested, call Linda Reid or Nancy Simmons. There will also be a group to play Hand & Foot, a card game similar to Canasta. For more information on this group, contact Carolyn Cannain. Other ideas include a walking the field group, young mothers’ support group, bowling night, men's breakfast/lunch group, museum vistis, etc.

However, I NEED YOUR SUGGESTIONS for activities that interest you! Contact me with your ideas. Look for notices in the Chimes and the Shepherd's Voice!
