COMMUNITY GROUP (Wednesdays 6:00-8:30 PM) Wednesday evenings, families come to our offices for a time of fellowship, refreshments, ESL, sharing, discussion and Scripture meditation. Volunteer groups organize games, activities or Bible lessons for the children and provide snacks. HOME VISITS (Any weekday morning or afternoon) Every week, we spend time together in one another’s homes. This is enables us to get to know one another better, learn from one another, and share life’s joys and sorrows together. Please contact Shawn or Isabel if you would like to “walk together freely” with us in this way. FIESTAS All throughout the year, we celebrate holidays together, the arrival of babies, birthdays, and more. During the Christmas season, we host several special events. Please see “Special Events” for more information. SUMMER KOROGA BONGA PICNICS We gather once a month from May through September at the Old Playground Pavilion in Tower Grove Park from 5:00pm till dusk to “stir food and talk as it cooks.” Everybody is invited.
