Covenant groups are small groups – 8 to 12 people – who meet monthly for personal and spiritual reflection. The meetings begin with an opening reading and chalice lighting and all include a time to share the joys, questions and challenges you are living with. The group gets its name from the covenant – or shared promise – the group makes about how to be together. The covenant is a group effort, created and uplifted by all.
Groups with openings welcome new members in the fall. Consider joining one of the following! (Days and times vary according to calendar and availability):
Parents’ Covenant Group
