Tuesday Group
We are casual group of men using a Discipleship Series off the ELCA website to study & discuss the lectionary text. It is not an issue if you are unable to read the material ahead of time, just come and connect. We meet in the Gathering Place (Café Koinonia) at 1:00 pm on Tuesdays. We have coffee and use the Discipleship worksheets to help us reflect on and discuss the text that is likely to be used the following Sunday for the sermon. Typically we have 6-8 attend, there is always room for more. We look forward to seeing you. Contact Darrel Cox for more information.
Wednesday Group
This is a new men's group that meets on Wednesday evenings, 6:00-7:00 pm. We are reading "Radical Lutherans/Lutheran Radicals." Come and join us!
Thursday Group
Thursday mornings, Son Seekers meets 6:30-7:30 am in the Gathering Place (Café Koinonia). We are a casual group of men using a Discipleship Series off the ELCA website to study & discuss the lectionary text. It is not an issue if you are unable to read the material ahead of time, just come and connect. Coffee and tea are available. We typically have 8-12 in attendance. Our format is the same as the Tuesday group as we discuss the text that is likely to be used for the weekend sermon. Please consider joining us. Contact Greg Ploeger at 515-314-3461 for more information.
Saturday Group
For over 30 years, men have been gathering on Saturday mornings at 7:30 am to study the Bible. Currently, the group is meeting via Zoom. It is a casual group that meets for Bible study and fellowship. We are working our way through various books of the Bible, covering both Old and New Testaments. We typically have 8-10 attend, but are always looking for more. There is not a better way to start off the weekend than in a study of God's Word! Contact Al Purdy at 515-707-8946 for more information.
