Serendipity – a class with lively discussion format on spiritual, biblical and "down to earth" matters. We share the leadership responsibilities, with rotating members leading the lesson each week. We study a variety of texts in an informal, friendly atmosphere to share and grow with. The class enjoys monthly socials usually meeting at each other's homes or going out to eat. Sometimes we end up unison singing, playing a musical instrument (if that's their forte) or participating in board, mind, or "Trivia" games at these socials. Our Sunday School group is the next best thing to being in a family. Room 111
Sojourners – so-jern; temporary stay; stopover; visit. We are a core group of people who pray for one another and welcome anyone to join us for an ongoing series of video study units, four to six weeks in length, sometimes longer. The units are biblically and spiritually based and led by members and staff of St Paul. The Sunday following the completion of a unit, the Sojourners have a group social, inviting members of the congregation to meet us, the leader of the just-completed unit and the leader of the upcoming unit of study. Room 100b
Teresita Book Group – This Small Group reads a wide variety of books about faith, chosen collectively by members of the group. All group members read the book, usually a chapter per week, prior to each Sunday discussion. Past book subjects have included prayer, contemplation, spiritual formation, creativity, religious pluralism, spirituality, simplicity, creation, Jesus and Advent by authors such as Henri Nouwen, Tony Campolo, Madeleine L'Engle, Eugene March, Martin Laird, Julia Cameron, Albert Nolan and many more. The group is self facilitated, meets in the Parlor and often takes a brief hiatus between books. Room 219 (Parlor).
Vine & Branches – a diverse group with members in their 40s and beyond. Class members share in facilitation of discussions with materials chosen by all. We actively encourage and nurture the faith walk of our members by investigating interests that range from Contemplative Worship, World Religions, books of the Bible, works by local authors, and popular literature by nationally and internationally recognized authors. A potluck is held periodically at a member's home. The class serves as a resource network for members' individual outreach/mission projects. Room 100c
