We know how important it is to find community, especially when you’re brand new to church. We also know that longtime members want to meet new people and make new friends! Although Old South Union Church has nearly 500 members, we are committed to creating small group opportunities so that you can make meaningful connections with others. We currently have five small groups, all of which are focused on fellowship rather than spiritual formation, but we do also have adult Bible studies for those who are interested.
Outdoor Activities
If you love the great outdoors, then you should consider participating in our Outdoor Activities Small Group. This group meets once a month after worship on Sunday to experience the grandeur of God in the great outdoors.
For more information, please contact group leader Steve Feeney at simonp3@icloud.com.
Board Games
For those who just want to stay inside while having fun and playing games, the Board Games Small Group is a perfect fit! This small group comes together about once a month and typically meets in someone’s home.
For more information, please contact group leader Jean Volpe at jvolpe51@yahoo.com.
Yoga
As Christians, we believe it’s important for us to look after ourselves—body, mind, and spirit! Whether you’re a veteran yogi or a new student, we’d love to have you visit our Yoga Small Group. This group is lead by a trained yoga instructor and meets on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of Old South Union Church. All classes are free! Please bring your own yoga mat and water bottle and wear clothing that allows for ease of movement.
For more information, please contact group coordinator and yoga instructor Toni Duval at tonid88@comcast.net.
Parents of Young Children
Are you the parent of a young child looking to connect with other parents? Are you hoping to find a community that can provide support and encouragement as you figure out how faith fits into your family’s life? Then this small group is for you! The Parents of Young Children Small Group meets once a month, immediately following worship. They gather in the crib and toddler room for a wee-ones coffee hour. Kiddos get to play while parents visit with each other. And everyone gets to enjoy some refreshments!
For more information, please contact group leader Lizz Esmond at lizz.and.mike.esmond@gmail.com.
LGBTQ Individuals
For those who identify as LGBTQ and Christian, it can sometimes feel difficult to reconcile your sexuality or gender identity with your faith. The LGBTQ Small Group gathers once a month to support individuals who identify as LGBTQ connected to Old South Union Church.
