Every Sunday after worship, people gather for fellowship with beverages and snacks.

Adult Spiritual Formation meets Sundays at 9 a.m. in the main floor conference room and on Zoom, with topics that have ranged from current events to Biblical interpretation and justice issues. A Thursday evening sermon discussion at 6 p.m. is online only, and a Centering Prayer group sits in silence for 22 minutes on Tuesdays at 5 p.m. via Zoom. A Children's Blessing is offered during Sunday worship, while Sunday School classes for children and youth are currently on hold.
