Join a Small Group!

As we prepare to launch some new exciting small group opportunities at Faith Lutheran, we want to take time to highlight some of these groups. For the time, these are groups all built for adult participants. More groups are coming soon!  

Pray and Play participates in activities and prayer as a group. If you’ve found yourself envious of the activities and fun our young adult group has been having, but you’re 40 or over, this group is for you. This group plans to meet twice a month to participate in fun activities like Hatchet House, art projects, tours, etc. Contact: Elise Gladu, (530) 520-4440.  

Seniors is a conversation based group to help support the senior members of Faith Lutheran. Contact: Nola Dosch, (530)891-3575, or Veronika Kehoe, (530) 566-4798.  

Wilderness Worship meets one Saturday morning of each month, with a few exceptions to hike various trails and creeks in Nor Cal. Grow in your relationship with God and each other by noticing God’s presence in wilderness places. The hiking portion of each gathering will be one to two hours long on “easy” rated trails. Our first hike will be Saturday, March 12th in Upper Park. Meet in the church parking lot at 9am. Contact: Pr. Ben Colahan, (530) 895-3754.  

Art Play meets in the Fellowship Hall Monday nights from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The purpose of Art Play is to grow in our relationship to God and each other by collaborating and creating ways to enhance worship through visual art. Contact: Gayle Palys, (530) 520-4150.

Good Enough Lent Group meets once per week at Faith on Wednesdays starting March 9th from 3:30 to 5:00 to work through a devotional by Kate Bowler. Together we are going to take ourselves off the hook for perfection and realize the beautiful work of being human. We live in a world that loves us when we are shiny, but the truth is most of the time we aren't. We invite you to join us for a good enough Lent. Contact: Raquel Krach (530) 519-8629 or Diane Knight at (530) 520-2036.
