SMALL GROUPS
Small groups are a great way to connect. Learn, work, play, and serve together with people who care.
Wednesdays at 9 am
Transition Support
Life is full of transitions: marriages and divorces, family births and deaths, career changes, changes in economic circumstances – and all of which can leave us wondering which end is up. We are a community of encouragement and support during these times, and we are committed to confidentiality. We “check in,” offer prayers of support, and study a book together. The group members rotate facilitating, and meet every Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m. on Zoom.
Mondays and Thursdays, 9:30 am
Fitness Group
To exist within a body is a magnificent gift from God, which we honor by keeping fit. This has been our mantra since our inception in 1993. Each Monday and Thursday morning we meet for fellowship and exercise at 9:30 am in Duncan Hall. The hour-long class consists of a series of non-impact stretch and tone movements, a short free weight session, modified yoga postures for balance, mat pilates and a simple ballet barre. The class is ongoing and open to everyone in the church and community free of charge. Contact: Judie Donovan.
As scheduled, September- August
Theatre Outings
Enjoy the delights of experiencing live theatre as a group, and the opportunity to discuss the experience of the show. Outings are planned for each production of the Ross Valley Players’ September - August season, which takes place in “The Barn Theatre” at the Marin Art and Garden Center. The plays are diverse in their themes and settings, but the standards are consistently high.

Sundays, 11:15 am
Sunday Seminars
Sunday Seminars typically start at 11:30 am in the Sanctuary. Seminar topics and formats vary. Guest speakers, videos and other presentations spark lively conversation. See the events page for the current schedule. After worship, stop by Duncan Hall for coffee and then come join us.
Weekly, September - mid-June
Book Reading Group
The church's book group invites you to join the conversation. We read non-fiction but, within that, we have covered a wide range of topics. As we meet weekly, we read only a few chapters at a time. We do leave some time for non-book discussion.
Book group meets on Zoom Mondays from 3 to 4:30. Contact Ron Vestal or Jillian Robinson.
Thursdays at 9:30 am
Centering Prayer
Centering prayer is a way of being in God’s presence in wordless silence, using a technique to avoid giving attention to the thoughts that inevitably come up during silence. Our group meets every Thursday from 9:30 am to 10:00 or 10:15 in the Patio Room (formerly the Library), with prayer using 20 minutes of that time. Centering prayer technique is easily taught—though not necessarily easily done—and needn’t be known before attending. All are invited. Contact: Royce Truex, or just show up on Thursday mornings.
