Fire of the Spirit Prayer Group
Grow in personal holiness and prayer, interceding on behalf of parish life, fostering forgiveness and unity within the Body of Christ. Meetings are every Wednesday from 10:00-11:30 in St. Francis Meeting Hall, facilitated by Bea and John Nishimuta.
Weight on the Lord
Weight upon the Lord through scripture, prayer, and sharing shall encourage members to make their bodies a fit temple for the Lord. We meet on the Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month at 10 am in the St. Francis Meeting Hall.
Lost Sheep
We all have family members or friends who have left the church. The Lost Sheep group supports its members in prayer for our loved ones to return. It is in our prayers and fortitude that we're asking God to direct their steps back to Him. The group is facilitated by Linda McKnight and meets online on the third Monday at 1:00 and Thursday aat 7:00.
Laudato Si
Members gather to discuss the encyclical Laudato Si and how to apply the principles found within to their daily life. At this time the group meets online only on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 1pm.
Saint Study Group
The Church in her wisdom has given us the great gift of our beloved Saints. They are an inspiring model of heroic virtue and human excellence achieved through Christ. In this group, we seek to explore the historical and spiritual lives of these Holy men and women. In so doing we hope to learn more about them and how their example can lead us towards Sainthood in our own lives.
Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7 pm online.
Music Appreciation
The Music Appreciation group focuses on discussing the beauty found in the music of the Church. They are currently on winter hiatus and will resume meeting at a date to be determined in February. The theme for the new session will be “Lent & Easter Music” and this will run for six weeks (every week). The meeting format will be determined at a later date due to the pandemic.
