Women’s Bible Study
The Women’s Bible Study group offers two scripture-based studies per year. One in the fall and one in the spring. In person sessions are typically held on Thursday mornings from 9:00 am – 10:30 am with an evening Zoom opportunity that is typically held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm. Study offerings run for approximately 8-10 weeks, depending on the program and include personal study and small group discussion. Purchase of a particular study book may be required.

Cursillo / Ultreya
Cursillo is a movement of the Church which, by its own method, makes it possible for people to live what is fundamental for being a Christian. Cursillo helps people discover and fulfill their personal vocations, and promotes the creation of core groups of Christians who leaven their environments with the Gospel. The Ultreya (Spanish word meaning Onward) is the larger Cursillo community. It is the time for the members of the Group Reunions to meet with members of other Group Reunions. The Ultreya is also beneficial in providing the support and encouragement that each of us needs.
