Is writing something that gives you joy? Do you like to journal or write poetry? Do you keep a diary? Do you have the desire to write a short story or a book? Are you a story teller? Have you ever thought about writing your memories down to pass along to family as part of your legacy?

If your answer is YES...

THEN, YOU ARE THE PERFECT PERSON FOR OUR GROUP!

We will focus on committing our thoughts to paper. Topics could be anything in your life - family, pets, vacations, how your day is going, your spiritual journey, God's leading in your life, etc. It could involve your imagination to tell a story you created in your mind. It can be something serious or funny. We will not be limited to one particular format. Each person will be assisted in developing his/her own style. Our goal is to have fun and enjoy the process, not to get something published!

We will do some writing exercises when we are together, but most of your writing will occur outside the group time. At times I will provide you with prompts on what topic to choose. Other times, someone else might offer a suggestion. Our group time will be used to share what we have written, to talk about the process, and to help each other problem solve when we encounter barriers. I have a workbook suggestion that can help us in this process.

Out time together will consist of prayer, Bible study, writing exercises, and of course, some food. (After all, you can't write if you aren't fed! lol)

Come join the fun! I look forward to leading this group. Gathers will be determined by the group.

If you or your spouse has taken the Genesis class, this group is for either or both of you. Come be a part of this group of folks who have learned of God's plan for the ages from the BEGINNING! We will gather to share life through fellowship, fun, faith, and of course, food! Come hungry and bring a food item to share!

This group will reflect on a teaching from Genesis each time we meet. Our interactions will naturally encourage one another to reflect our true worth as God's greatest creation - His image bearers! Our faith will grow as well as our friendships and connections as family. The group will also explore short term mission opportunities where we can make a difference by taking Christ outside the walls of our church.

There will be something fun for everyone so please join in the fun! Gathers will be at 7pm on the second and fourth Thursday each month in the Crossroads classroom at SJC.

The Sermon Discussion Group is a small group designed to help participants reflect more deeply on the pastor's message from Sunday worship. Each week we gather to revisit the sermon, discuss the key Scriptures and themes, and explore how God's Word applies to our everyday lives.

This group provides a welcoming environment where participants can ask questions, share insights, and encourage one another in living out the truths we hear on Sunday. By discussing the sermon together, we seek to move from simply hearing the Word to truly understanding and applying it.

Whether you want to deepen your understanding of the message, grow in your faith, or build meaningful relationships within the church, this group offers a space to engage God's Word together.

Gatherings are on Wednesday mornings at 10am in the Crossroads classroom.
