Women’s Emmaus with Yoga
Tuesday Mornings 8:30-10:30 am
Leaders: Kathleen Milnes & Joan Sumpter
Stretch your body and stretch your faith! Our group does a 50-minute
yoga practice together, finishing with a yoga meditation during which
Scripture or a prayer is read aloud. We then meet to discuss Scripture,
share fellowship and pray together. By being still, we create space for
the Holy Spirit to move in our hearts and bring clarity to our thoughts.
You are invited to join us!
Walking to Emmaus
Tuesday Morning 8:30-10:30 am
Leader: Stephanie Houge
“Were not out hearts burning within us while he was talking to
us on the road?” –Luke 24:32
“Emmaus” groups are named after the story in Luke 24: As
two of Jesus’ disciples were walking to the town of Emmaus, the
risen Christ appeared to them, talked with them and walked with them.
In our small group, members talk the talk and walk the walk! Each week,
we explore Scripture together, worship together and then take a vigorous
walk in our local hills.
Tuesday Night Men’s Group
Tuesday Evenings 8:00-9:30 pm
Leaders: David Reed & Richard Rosser
For years, men's groups have met on Wednesday evenings. This fall,
we're charting a new course with a Tuesday evening group. So, for all
of you who have passed on joining a group because you were busy Wednesdays,
now's your chance! We'll explore our personal spiritual journeys using
the following four elements: Mutual Care & Support, Prayer, Biblical
Reflection, and Missional Service. In addition, we plan to augment
our meetings with music, candlelight vigils, labyrinth walks, and maybe
even some Frisbee Golf! Whether you're a seasoned Emmaus participant
or a small group newbie, the Tuesday Evening Men's Group is open and
waiting for you to join.
The Men’s Group
Wednesday Evenings 8:00-9:30 pm
Leaders: David Carr & Brian Keare
Two words: THE SIMPSONS. Yeah, you read that right. We’ve found
a small group curriculum that revolves around the greatest TV comedy
ever. If you’ve ever thought about checking out the Men’s
Group, now is the time. Make Wednesday night Simpsons Night this fall!
Thursday Early Birds
Thursday Mornings 7:00-8:30 am
Leaders: Susanne Howarth & Jane Anderson
Start your Thursday morning with friendship, prayer and study. This
group, led by Susanne Howarth and Jane Anderson, takes a fresh approach
to Scripture, often reading contemporary texts to come away with valuable
insights that can change our lives – all before 8:30 in the morning!
Thursday Morning Emmaus
Thursday Mornings 7:45-9:30 am
Leaders: Karen Grigsby & Linda Wesson
This group begins the day "on the road to Emmaus." All are
welcome to join us as we study, discuss and seek to understand God’s
Word in our lives. We are committed to building relationships with
each other, sharing our joys and challenges with each other as we reach
out to the larger community in meaningful service projects.
Thursday Nighters
Thursday Evenings 7:30-9:00 pm
Leader: Anita Brown
The Thursday night group celebrates the inquiring mind and open heart.
In the past the group has used texts such as “What Jesus Meant,” “The
Faith Club,” and “A Wing and a Prayer” to explore
faith in our everyday lives. We look forward to beginning a lively
and in-depth discussion and experiencing true Christian community.
T.G.I.F.
Friday Afternoons 12:00- 2:00 pm
Leader: Kelly Dutka
We invite you to join us in God’s presence as we slow down
from our hectic week. We share a simple lunch and begin each meeting
with meditative prayer. Through selected reading, sharing and support,
we continue our spiritual journeys. Along with sharing fellowship,
our group has a strong outreach component. We conclude each week by
sharing our intentions and prayer requests, and praying for one another.
We welcome you to join us, whether you are new to our Parish community
or are continuing your Emmaus journey!
