The BLEND Sundays

Group Description The Blend brings Jr. High and High School students together with a diverse group of fun-loving leaders for rich, fun-filled Sunday and Wednesday groups. Every Sunday (in person), we offer worship, games, teaching, and small group discussions. These discussions are where the real impact is made in our students’ lives.

Living Buddha, Living Christ: A Contemplative Book Circle

Beginning this fall, we’ll gather on the first Sunday of each month to slowly make our way through Thích Nhất Hạnh’s Living Buddha, Living Christ. And when we say slowly, we mean slowly. Rather than consuming chapters at a time, we’ll spend each month with just a few pages, giving the words room to settle and inviting them to move from our heads into our lives. Our gatherings will weave together conversation, portions of the audiobook, silence, and mindfulness practices…

Second Sunday Hangout

Each 2nd Sunday after church, join us to “hang out” – a time of community with no fixed agenda. Okay, some folks will have games, but if gaming is not your thing, there will be others who want to just hang around and be with whoever is there. Our purpose in hosting these events is to create space and time for people to be together and build relationships. So whether you are a gamer or a “hanger-outer,” you are welcome…

The Open Circle

The open circle is a women’s group for connection, creativity, and fun! It’s a safe space for us to take time for ourselves and get to know each other better. We welcome different backgrounds, different ideas, different beliefs… we are after all, the open circle.  This group will meet in person every 2nd and 4th Monday from 7-8:30pm starting September 14th. Location is currently TBD — please check back soon for update.
