No matter where you live, you can enjoy the community of other like-minded individuals discussing our Christmas Readings. Each group typically involves an opening prayer, reflection, discussion, and the sharing of thoughts and ideas from participants. No prior experience is required and all are welcome, although typically groups are for adults (18+) unless otherwise specified.

We will have groups available at various days and times, with various group leaders. These weekly groups will start the first week of December and usually meet 4 times. You are welcome to join even if you can't attend all the sessions. Groups usually use Zoom, but your group leader will contact you with specific login information for their group meetings.

Fill out the form at the top of the page to be notified when groups become available (usually early November).
