Life Groups
Life Groups are a great way to grow in your relationship with God and with other people who:
-
Are in the same stage in life
-
Have similar passions for service or connection
-
Are interested in extended learning opportunities
-
Or some combination of the three!
If you would like to join a SOLLC Life Group, check out our opportunities below.
HIKING CLUB
Monthly, Various dates/times
Love to get outdoors and hike? Join the SOLLC Hiking Club! This group will try new hikes all year round, sharing and reflecting together as we hike.
Hikes will generally be 2-3.5 miles in length, potentially working up to some bigger hikes depending on the location & time of year. We'll try to generally stay local, but are open to the possibility of making a bigger hiking trip once a year.
Upcoming Hikes:
Sat, May 30, 9:30-11am - Spring Lake Park
Contact Leah Felsenthal for more info on the group or sign up to go to individual events on the SOLLC event page.
ART AND SOUL
Monthly, Second Monday of each month, 6pm
Do you love art, design, and organization? Help us implement our worship center visions as this space is transformed throughout the year for different services and events. Some projects envisioned are: chancel decoration, seasonal decor, sacristy supply organization, music and theater event preparation, and set-up for festival Sundays (such as Advent).
This is a new life group - the first meeting is Monday, May 11 at 6pm. Sign up here. Or reach out to Pastor Jonathan or Leah Toppen if you are interested in joining this group, but can't make the meeting.
