We conclude our time together with a shared meal.

Memorial Bell Choir
The Memorial Bell Choir has been a part of worship at South Church since 1989. Under the direction of Carlene Ruesenberg, they play during the 10:00 service on the third Sunday of every month. They also provide special music during the Christmas Eve services, and during Holy Week and Easter. They rehearse in classroom 7 on Wednesday nights from 7:15-8:30.
Confirmation
It's conversation. It's bonding. It's learning what you believe and learning that it's OK to have doubts. It's laughter, questioning, and pondering the questions of our time through the lens of the Christian Faith. The year begins with a pilgrimage to New York City, and ends with a grand celebration on Pentecost with the traditional laying-on-of-hands.
Spiritual Practices
This group meets on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30pm, to explore various practices and to support one another in the development of our personal practice life.
Do you sit quietly in meditation? Does running quiet your mind? Is the laundry a sacred act? Do you hear God speaking to you in the garden? These are but a variety of Spiritual Practices some members have expressed.
Men's Breakfast
Join other men on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30am. in Fellowship Hall for a time of connecting, sharing and fellowship around morning coffee and a potluck breakfast
