Spring 2026 Small Groups
Virtual & Hybrid Groups
✍️ Hybrid Writing Group
3rd Sunday Evenings | 7-9 PM | Beginning March 15th
This monthly writing group, facilitated by Luca, is a space for reflection, creativity, and honest exploration. We'll gather virtually for two hours once a month, with optional in-person coffee shop meet-ups sprinkled in throughout the season for those who are interested.
Writing prompts may draw from Luca's Faith: Fractured and Free shadow journal and other guided exercises, spanning genres. No writing experience required, just a willingness to show up and explore.
Dates: March 15th, April 19th, May 17th, and June 21st
Contact Luca for more information.
🗣️ Zoom Discussion Group
Beginning March 8th | Likely 2nd Sundays | 7 - 8ish PM
We're launching a new monthly Zoom discussion space for connection and shared reflection. This one-hour virtual gathering will offer a chance to process life, faith, and whatever feels present in the moment, together.
More details are coming soon, but if you are interested, RSVP to Leah and you'll be the first to receive updates as plans solidify.
