Fellowship
Every week, A time of fellowship follows Sunday morning worship. This Reception after Worship (RAW) is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others. Be sure to join us for this family-friendly time downstairs after worship. Coffee and tea are provided by the parish, but weekly volunteer ministers bring snacks ranging from veggies and fruit, to cookies, cake, quiche, or something else. Please consider joining this weekly time for fellowship after Sunday Morning Worship. Volunteer by calling the office at 802-253-7578.
On Wednesday’s, our gathering is built around fellowship. We gather to delve into the Holy Scripture appointed for the following Sunday, and share in Holy Conversation and Holy Communion. Many participants bring their lunch and share a meal together while sharing their hearts in this intimate gathering. If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, please consider trying it out, as this is a most warm and welcoming group.
Women’s Spirituality
The Spirituality Group provides a forum for fellowship and sharing of spiritual beliefs, doubts, strengths, questions and needs. We are encouraged to listen to each other and to the messages in our readings. We live in a country of cultural distortion-a world engulfed in conflict. Our group helps us to confront and deal with our feelings about these things within a spiritual context that does not let despair win. We give and receive spiritual support from one another. It is a safe place where we can be honest and direct in expressing our feelings. We love God and our Lord, and we seek to further understand Christian teachings, as well as teachings and truths of our faith.
Our discussions are drawn from books and a variety of current periodicals and writings in print and from the Internet. We have explored ideas and questions from a number of sources. Three books were prominent in our studies: The Third Jesus by Deepak Chopra, Eternal Life: A New Vision by Bishop John Spong, and The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler.
We meet every Thursday from 10am to noon and all are welcome.
