Come and Join one of our Small Groups!
Participating in small groups gives us a chance to develop relationships with other people as we learn more about the Christian faith and how we live our faith on a day-by-day basis. These groups are a safe place to ask questions, share our thoughts, and simply be who we are joined with others who are on this journey of faith. We would love to have you join us and share you views.

Grateful
Book Study
by Diana Butler Bass
March 3rd, 10th, & 17th
Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
If gratitude is good, why is it so hard to do? In Grateful, Diana Butler Bass untangles our conflicting understandings of gratitude and sets the table for a renewed spiritual practice of giving thanks.
We know that gratitude is good, but many of us find it hard to sustain a meaningful life of gratefulness. Four out of five Americans report feeling gratitude on a regular basis, but those private feelings seem disconnected from larger concerns of our public lives. In Grateful, cultural observer and theologian Diana Butler Bass takes on this “gratitude gap” and offers up surprising, relevant, and powerful insights to practice gratitude.
