Annual Potluck and Meeting - Each January we meet on a Sunday evening for food, fellowship and an overview of the year. Members eat in assigned Covenant Groups and get to know each other. Guests are welcome to join any group. A meeting for everyone in the sanctuary follows the meal. The meeting usually offers highlights of the year past and hopes for the year to come.

Dinner for 7 or 8 - Meet new friends; share food and fellowship. Everyone is welcome. In August and again in January, individuals or couples sign up and are randomly partnered with others who then meet 4 times in 4 months for a meal and conversation. One person from each group convenes the group. The group then decides when and where to share a meal. Usually each individual or couple hosts one meal in their home.

Men of Grace - A dynamic group of grace-filled men gathers the second Saturday of the month for breakfast, sharing, and developing their faith through service. Service projects are a high priority for this multi-age group. The group laughs and works and grows together, supporting one another in the life of faith. And when someone has a need (moving, building, cooking a meal) - the Men of Grace are always the first to help out. The MOG keep in touch via phone and e-mail, including a joke of the week and lots of support for one another. All men are welcome.

Presbyterian Women - Grace Covenant PW is a vital and dynamic organization, associated with the PW of the denomination. Nationally PW gives strong support to the mission of the church and locally determines its own leadership, program and budget. At Grace Covenant, women may choose from 5 interesting circles who meet at various times and days. Each circle shares in fellowship, laughter, prayer, study, service, mission giving, and other activities. Each circle has its own personality and loyal membership. Together the women of PW meet several times a year for special programs and projects, and for a fabulous annual retreat. Every woman is welcome.

Kairos [Justice, Peace & Environment] - Meets 4th Monday at 7 p.m. This group chooses topics to explore each quarter. Education and action are dual focus.

Couples Enrichment Small Groups - Two groups of couples gather monthly to share fellowship, to nurture their relationships and to support one another. This group is for typical healthy couples (not for marriages that are in trouble). The group decides when to meet and where (though usually in homes). New groups will be formed as interest arises, and church membership is not required.

Faith Connections Small Group or Growing in Grace Groups - These groups can be quite varied, but the main purpose of the group is to gather with other Christians to share your faith, to build friendships and to help each other grow as Christians. Some meet monthly, some weekly, some every other week, some whenever the group can gather. Days, times and places vary according to the group's preferences. Groups can be created by age, marital status, neighborhood, or time of day. So they can be diverse or similar in make up - again by the preference of participants. Methods, models, activities, styles and curriculum are suggested, but ultimately the group chooses the agenda. Call for information or to find out when new groups are forming.

- A variety of groups are available to share in the life of the congregation. Some of those groups are particularly helpful for people in times of crisis or with particular personal needs. New groups are always forming, so please contact us if you have an interest or need that is not addressed here.

AA - Alcoholics Anonymous - Meets Monday through Saturday at noon. This group is not church sponsored, but is independently run, and uses our facility. New people are welcome. Traditional AA practices and perimeters apply.
