friends for easter

What’s a Friends for Easter Group?

It’s a group of 7-10 folks who meet weekly during the Eastertide season (April 7- May 11) either online or in person to get to know each other better and dive deeper into conversation.

In conjunction with our Easter Preaching Series, Living Hope: Peace, Purpose, Power, the clergy will offer weekly discussion questions based on that week’s sermon. All you have to do is listen to the sermon, either in person or online, and then gather together to discuss!

Please sign up by Friday April 5, so we can let the hosts know who to expect.
If you’d like to host a group, contact Fr. Todd.
