Fridays 7-8pm by Zoom video conference. "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis.

We are a group of families with high school age children, and some younger and college age. Our purpose is deeper connection and spiritual growth within the larger family of PLCC, and mutual support in the challenges of parenting and life in general. Under normal circumstances we meet bi-weekly for a meal together, then the adults do a study, share and pray, while the kids play in another room. During the present stay-at-home season of the pandemic, we are meeting weekly for 1 hour by video conference.

The group is always open to new people. It is a great way to build deep connections and lasting friendships within the church. We have done a variety of topics ranging from Bible book studies through DVD series on various topics - the study is not the main point, but provides a focus to help us grow and bond spiritually.

Currently we are reading and discussing "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis. We read and discuss one letter each week. They are short and each can stand alone, so you can join us at any time without missing out on context. If you would like to join us, please email us via the Contact link, and we'll send you the Zoom meeting link and password.

New people always welcome, contact Group Leader above.
