Small Groups in Planning Stage (or envisioned for the future):


Families with Young Children

We have had a request for a small group to form for families with young children, a group that would allow them to do service together as a family.  This group also would need a facilitator to get started.
Contact Betty Lou Schultz This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  
if you are interested in participating in this group or if you would like to lead such a group.


Pranayama

A group around pranayama, breath control, is being planned, to become conscious of breathing as preparation for reflection and/or meditation.  Watch for more details about this group next fall.


Companions in Christ
Among DCC’s small group offerings is Companions in Christ that provides:

   * A path to explore prayer, scripture, and your spiritual journey
   * An experience of God’s grace and love in daily times of reflection
   * A 28-week journey to a fuller life in Christ and your church community

At least one new Companions in Christ group will be starting in the fall.  The facilitators will work with those who are interested to find the time and day that works best for as many people as possible.  Enrollment is limited to eight participants in one group.  

We are also planning some eight-to-ten week Companions in Christ offerings that focus on particular spiritual guidance topics.  Some of these will be for those who have alreadty completed the full companions progam while others will be open to anyone who is willing to commit to Companions for the 8-10 weeks.

Watch for updates on this website and in the Sunday weekly bulletins about groups that begin in the fall.
