Rock and a Prayer Men’s Group

Rock and a Prayer meets the 2^nd Monday of the month in the Parish House from 6:30-8:30 pm.

The intention of the group is to gather in a safe, non-judgmental and sacred space; to share in a  trusting honest fellowship; to build on our faith, reaching outward from an inward journey and to grow spiritually and personally while harvesting a bond amongst each other and within the church community.  Time together includes prayer and reflection/discussion around various topics. For more information email Mike Gelsomini.

 Prayer Shawl Knitters

The second Thursday of the month knitters meet to knit, chat, laugh and pray at Marion Main’s home.  The group makes and blesses prayer shawls which are given to folks when they are sick, baptized, joining the church.  There are many able teachers if you don’t know how to knit.  Can’t make that time?  Get a pattern and yarn and knit in your own home.

Warmly and well dressed people find clothing and fun housewares at our Steppe Up In Shoppe.  This outreach to the community happens with lots of volunteer time.  Shop keepers work Wednesdays from 3-6 and Saturday from 9-noon.  Sorters sift through donations on Tuesday mornings from 8:30-11 ish.  Nancy Noseworthy can tell you more and Nancy Knapp will sign you up for a shift during opening hours.

Pettengill Saturday Night Meal
