Small Groups
Several small groups meet on a regular basis, offering opportunities to connect with one another and to deepen our spiritual practice outside of the Sunday worship service.
Men’s Coffee
Wednesdays 8:30 AM -9:30 AM in the Henry Room
Men’s Coffee and Conversation meets every Wednesday morning, 8:30-9:30 AM, except during the summer months. A topic is usually agreed upon in advance, to allow participants to “put brain in gear before engaging mouth”. No issue is off limits, but the drift is usually less personal or spiritual than during the Sunday evening sessions. For details, contact Peter Rosenberger.
Ruth Group
Third Sunday of the month, 7:00 PM
The Ruth Group meets once a month in someone’s home to discuss a recent book or collection of short stories. All women of the church and community are welcome and although we try to read the book before the meeting, we look forward to your participation whether you have read the book or not. Last year the books included Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness by Kay Redfield Jamison,and A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. This September we start the year with The Muralist by B.A. Shapiro (which is also the Winchester Reads book.) For further information please contact the office. Our group is named after the biblical Book of Ruth – a story of women supporting each other. Ruth tells her mother in law, Naomi, “…whither thou goest I will go”. We go places with each other through the books we read and discuss together and through the life experiences we share. Curious about Ruth Group? Learn more…
Sunday Night Men’s Group
First Sunday of the month, 7:30 AM—8:30 AM
The monthly Men’s Group meets in Paul Rahmeier’s home in Woburn. All men of the church and their guests are welcome. We discuss matters that are personal and spiritual. Pot-luck beverages or snacks are welcome but not expected. Questions? Contact Chris Noble
Mondays with Jesus and Buddha
Mondays during Lent
Instead of giving something up for Lent, how about taking on a spiritual practice to help you grow in relationship with Christ and fellow disciples? During the weeks of Lent (plus one), we gather each Monday evening for 30 minutes of centering prayer, followed by a simple meal and family worship together. All ages are welcome! An alternative activity for children is offered during the prayer time. Come once or every week! Jesus is our host; there is always room in the circle and at the table. All you need to bring is an open mind and heart.
