GROW in Love of God and Neighbor

There are many opportunities within our church to GROW. Grow along with us! All of our groups are open to newcomers.

Bible Studies

We are currently working through the Chosen Series. Focusing on one season each Spring and Fall. There is no need to have attended the previous Seasons, but it is recommended (but not required) to have watched them. You can find on The Chosen App for free.

With These Hands Knit & Crochet Group

Bring your own project to work on or work on Prayer Shawls or Chemo Caps, Thursdays at 10am here at UMCGR. Prayer shawls are available to give to anyone who may be in need of prayer, comfort, and God’s love. You'll find these gifts near the Info Booth. Please leave your name, the shawl recipient’s name and the date of gift on the clipboard on the shelf near the shawls. Chemo Caps are donated to the Free Wig Closet located at UMCGR.

Quilting for the Community

Our Quilters group meets on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 - noon. Their annual goal is to prepare as many quilts as possible for the Community Connect event, held each September. These quilts are donated to those in need at that time. No sewing experience is necessary, there's a job and a lot of fun and fellowship for all. For more information, please contact Kay (rkklinger@gmail.com) or Linda (lingenra55709@gmail.com).
