Parenting Support Group
Woven
This group supports eachother in current parenting challenges by reading a book together on a parenting topic then discussing and applying it within our own parent-child relationships. Open to parents, grandparents, and other caring adults who want to understand and help with today’s challenges in raising kids. The Parenting Support Group meets during confirmation classes twice per month from late September to early April. Starting this September, we will read and discuss Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Child Doesn’t Have to Heal from written by Meredith Miller.
Every Moment Holy Liturgical Prayer Study (Zoom)
Douglas McKelvey’s “Every Moment Holy” series has brought the beauty and rhythm of liturgy to everyday life. With prayers for everything from the first campfire of the season to changing diapers, consuming media, or creating art, these collections provide a valuable perspective on how we can invite God to truly make every moment holy. Join Pastor Lindsey via Zoom on Sunday evenings in October at 8:30 pm. This timeframe and format is designed with young families in mind to meet “post-bedtime,” but is open to all who are interested.
Discovery Class
This is a great opportunity to know more about the United Methodist church in general and Strongsville UMC in particular. Participants are given the opportunity to join the church if they are ready for the commitment, but there is no pressure to join. Lunch and childcare provided (childcare upon request). Will meet for three classes on Sundays, November 2, 9, and 16 from 12:15-2pm.
