Tuesday Afternoon Group
We are casual group of men using a Discipleship Series "Daily Faith Practices" off the ELCA website to study & discuss the lectionary text (Second Reading for the week). 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 scripture reading. 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 Evening Group
The Wednesday Men’s Book Study Group meets 6:00-7:00 pm at the church. We are a casual group of men using different books we select to read a chapter a week and come together to process and discuss the reading. We try to read up when we are unable to attend so we can keep current with the conversation. We typically have 3-5 in attendance. Please consider joining us. Contact Kristofer Orth at korth7312@gmail.com or at 515-537-4871 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.
