SUMMARY:Faith Around The Table
DESCRIPTION:Are you hungry for meaningful conversation and deeper connection with your First Church community? Do you like to eat food? Then this group is for you! One Sunday a month from 5:00pm to 7:00pm\, each group of 8 people gathers for a potluck meal and discusses a topic relating to faith and spiritual formation. Group members commit to meeting for six months. We’ve identified group leaders who will lead each group and host the first meeting with potential for others to host subsequent gatherings or use church space. Groups will launch in November. Come be a part of what others in the church have found to be deeply meaningful and nourishing!\n\nPlease email Andrew Schumacher (andrew.r.schumacher@gmail.com) for more info and to sign up.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Practices Group
DESCRIPTION:Advent Contemplative Practices Group on Zoom: \nIn the 1960s\, the well-known Trappist monk\, Thomas Merton\, brought contemplative practice out of the cloister into the realm of ordinary people. In the 1970s\, Father Thomas Keating developed a form of contemplative practice called centering prayer; and John Main\, a Benedictine monk\, advocated a practice of contemplative meditation. \nWe will be utilizing the small group format for contemplative practice outlined in the book “Where Two or Three Are Gathered” by Rev. Daniel Prechtel with an emphasis on lectio (reading)\, meditatio (meditation)\, oratio (prayer)\, and contemplatio (contemplation). \nThe contemplative practice group will meet on Mondays\, December 1st – December 22nd during Advent from 10:30am-11:30am on Zoom and will be facilitated by Glynis Doyle. \nIf you have any questions\, would like to receive an outline of the format of the class\, or would like to register\, you can contact Glynis at dleedoyle@gmail.com.
