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.

Are you missing gathering with your gal pals and discussing a good book? Join us for the PLCC online book discussion of Two Steps Forward by Sharon Garlough Brown. This fiction best-seller is written for women of all ages. Each week we'll discuss a chapter or two in book club style. A reading schedule will be emailed to all participants.

Questions? Contact Debora Buerk at deborabuerk@icloud.com.

More about Two Steps Forward:
Follow the stories of four women as they are drawn into a spiritual formation journey at a retreat center:

- Hannah, a pastor who doesn't realize how exhausted she is.

- Meg, a widow and recent empty-nester who is haunted by her past.

- Mara, a woman who has bounced from relationship to relationship, trying to navigate a difficult marriage.

-Charissa, a hard-working graduate student who wants to get things right.

Written with compelling narrative weaving their lives together, this book also takes the reader into a new understanding of spiritual practices and offers support for those who want to travel deeper into life with God themselves. While this is the second book in the series, you need not have read the first book, Sensible Shoes. Two Steps Forward by Sharon Garlough Brown available for purchase on Amazon.
