Whether you are a casual reader or a serious book lover, this is your chance to gather monthly and share the love of stories and the ways they shape, inspire and inform us.  We read all kinds of books, both fiction and non-fiction, mostly reader-suggested.  We hope to see you there. The first Wednesday of the month.

Watch for the 2026-27 schedule here (coming).

Sisters on a Sojourn (S.O.S.)  

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday 9:00 am in the Parlor 

This is a women’s discussion group that is open to women of any faith or church affiliation. We choose religious or spiritual books and discuss one chapter at each meeting. Members of the group volunteer to lead discussions.

We meet on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays each month, September through May. For more information, or if you’re interested in joining, contact Cindy Christensen (630-858-0038).

Saturday Play Group 

This group meets once a month, and is a wonderful way for parents and caregivers to meet each other and for children to make friends from church.  This play group is an opportunity for families with young children, in kindergarten and younger, to meet and build relationships for the children as well as the adults in their lives.  Older siblings are welcome to join play dates too, as an opportunity for them to have fun and to grow into their roles as mentors and nurturers, while building relationships with other adults in the congregation.  Questions? Contact Jessi at 602.820.6450. Check your Sunday bulletin, the church website or your weekly E‑Newsletter for further details.

 Couples in their 30s and 40s to meet monthly (in someone’s home or at church) for a time of fellowship, learning, and relating. Contact Whit Brooks with questions.

Senior can drop in and meet with your friends or bring a new friend to forge new relationships. Tuesday at 11 am in our lobby.
