Adult Ministries

The Book Group

Do you need a nudge toward reading something more than your daily newspaper and the Upper Room? This group reads one book a month and then meets to discuss it on the second Monday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. The year's selections are chosen at the September meeting where each member comes with a suggestion or two. Watch the Etchings and the Sunday bulletin for meeting places. First timers are welcome at any time of the year.

Care Group

Because we care, we visit the sick, shut-ins, and bereaved in homes, institutions, and hospitals, and we take flowers, food, "Upper Rooms", church bulletins, and other gifts. We meet in the church parlor on Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m., but visitation can be made any day of the week

Sometimes this fellowship occurs around a meal, sometimes around dessert and a program, and sometimes a trip.
