The “magic” of small groups

We believe in the power of a small group to encourage joy in growing spiritually – individually and together. There’s no magic wand, but it feels magical to experience spiritual community in a safe and nurturing setting. We study, pray, share, laugh, cry, and work on replacing our own negativity with a positive, healthy, “can do,” spiritual attitude.
