SUMMARY:Beyond the Nest Small Group
DESCRIPTION:Have you launched a young adult or are you about to launch them? You are invited to connect with other parents who are in the process of launching their young adults into the world. Whether you now have an empty nest or you have just started launching and still have some at home\, this is a chance to connect with others navigating this life transition. Share experiences\, find support\, and discover new ways to embrace this next chapter with understanding and camaraderie. \n\nJanelle Jordan and Lorrie Sandelin are excited to co-facilitate the Beyond the Nest group again this year\, and we’d love for you to join us! \nBased on what we learned last year\, we’ve decided to try something new: instead of using a book\, each meeting will center around a specific topic with a short resource (article\, podcast\, or video) to read or watch beforehand. This way\, the discussions will be more flexible and welcoming—perfect if you want to drop in when you can. \nThis Fall we will meet once a month to work around Holidays and then beginning in January we will meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm\, at LHUMC in the Fireside room. \nFall Meeting Dates: Thursday Oct 23 @ 6:30 pm\, Thursday November 20 @ 6:30 pm and Thursday December 11 @ 6:30 pm. Then beginning Thurs January 8\, twice a month.  \nWe hope you can join us!

SUMMARY:The Apostles Creed Small Group
DESCRIPTION:New Small Group for Adults (teens welcome too)\nThe Apostles Creed \nSundays 10:45 (after worship)\nSeptember 21-October 26\, 2025\nFacilitators: Pastor Karen Bruins and John Babbs\n\nSince the fourth century after the resurrection of Jesus\, a basic statement of Trinitarian faith circulated and continues to guide Christians across most traditions and denominations. The Apostles Creed stands the test of time because each article of the creed draws from New Testament teaching and symbolizes the essentials of our faith. These beliefs help bind and unify followers of Christ into a shared life of grace and love together.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Nest Small Group
DESCRIPTION:Have you launched a young adult or are you about to launch them? You are invited to connect with other parents who are in the process of launching their young adults into the world. Whether you now have an empty nest or you have just started launching and still have some at home\, this is a chance to connect with others navigating this life transition. Share experiences\, find support\, and discover new ways to embrace this next chapter with understanding and camaraderie. \n\nJanelle Jordan and Lorrie Sandelin are excited to co-facilitate the Beyond the Nest group again this year\, and we’d love for you to join us! \nBased on what we learned last year\, we’ve decided to try something new: instead of using a book\, each meeting will center around a specific topic with a short resource (article\, podcast\, or video) to read or watch beforehand. This way\, the discussions will be more flexible and welcoming—perfect if you want to drop in when you can. \nThis Fall we will meet once a month to work around Holidays and then beginning in January we will meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm\, at LHUMC in the Fireside room. \nFall Meeting Dates: Thursday Oct 23 @ 6:30 pm\, Thursday November 20 @ 6:30 pm and Thursday December 11 @ 6:30 pm. Then beginning Thurs January 8\, twice a month.  \nWe hope you can join us!

SUMMARY:Re-Shaped Sermon Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday nights in September to discuss the sermon series Re-Shaped. \n\n\n 7pm by Zoom \n Sept 8\, 15\, 22\, and 29\n\nFacilitated by Julie Konrardy\, juliekonrardy@gmail.com\n\n\n“Change is good… you go first!” Our brains were designed to be suspicious of change\, and for good reason–homeostasis in good measure helps us thrive\, protecting us from danger. But if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion\, we find that change is actually the most constant part of life and necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life. Jesus advocated for changes that would keep us moving toward greater goodness!
