Monthly fellowship and prayer gatherings open to women and men of all ages and stages in life. Meets over noon lunch at dates/times/locations selected each month. Check our newsletter for each month’s schedule.
Monthly Bible Conversations (Prairie Lakes Parish)
Bible Conversations gatherings are offered once-a-month, at a date/location as announced, at 6:00 P.M. We join together as families and friends in a new way to consider faith: through fun, fellowship, and food. Hosted by Pastor Kathy King, we enjoy each other’s company, as well as a guided discussion - with a new faith topic each time - based on the resource “Pub Theology”. Pizza may be ordered at each gathering. Bring your own beverages, dining ware, and chairs! Check our newsletter for each month’s gathering date.
Monthly Bible Studies (Prairie Lakes Parish)
Bible Studies are offered every other Thursday morning and every other Saturday. Participants gather in person, and/or through our ZOOM video-conferencing platform - available via computer or phone. Contact Pastor Kathy King if you are interested in being part of this time of study, reflection, and community.
Monthly Book Study & Social Justice Conversations - "The Stretch" (Prairie Lakes Parish) - to resume in January
Book Study and Social Justice Conversations are offered monthly - typically at 7:00 p.m. - at Blooming Grove UMC. Contact Cindy Saufferer if you are interested, to order a book, and to learn of each month's meeting date/time/location. "The Stretch" is a space holding opportunities to learn, grapple, and discover how we show up as love in the world through justice-related topics. You can expect articles, book suggestions, informed discussion spaces, and a plethora of ways to experience what it means to be Christ in the world. New participants are invited to join in at any time, with or without having read the current book. All are welcome in the circle!​
