Many of us have been voicing our feelings about the “new (temporary) normal”:
- I feel isolated and disconnected
- I feel adrift, like a boat without a sail
- I miss being at All Saints … sometimes I drive by to make sure it’s still there
- I miss seeing friends at church and meeting new people
- I miss having coffee and a conversation on the lawn
Maybe you’re experiencing these and other feelings! Now, more than ever, we need small groups.
Small Groups are a safe place to connect, to encourage and support one another. Many of our existing Small Groups are still active and are meeting “virtually.” Check to see if one of these small groups is a good fit for you by viewing our Small Groups Flyer .
If not, the Small Group Ministry is ready with recommendations and new opportunities for you to connect, perhaps with a little less commitment. Options are:
- Organize your own group!
- Contact your friends and invite them to get together. Determine a place and time to meet. We recommend 5 or 6 (max 10) people for an outdoor meeting or 8 to 10 people for a Zoom gathering.
- Amanda McCormick amccormick@allsaints-pas.org or 626-573-2732 will help your group set up a Zoom gathering.
- We’ll help you organize a group!
- To be part of the initial round of small groups, send your name and preference for either an in-person, outdoor small gathering (5 to 6 people) or a Zoom meeting (8 to 10 people) to Amanda McCormick amccormick@allsaints-pas.org or 626-573-2732 by the end of the month
- The Small Group Ministry we will help organize your first gathering.
- After that, the group will decide if and when to meet again. Further details and guidance will be provided once the first meeting is established.
