Our group organized in August of last year in an effort to unite singles between the ages of 40 and 60. There are some who are younger than 40 and some who are older than 60. Our purpose is to provide love and compassion, care and support to one another. It is our desire to encourage one another and to grow spiritually. We do that by meeting once a month as a small group in the church library for spiritual growth, and meeting together twice a month for fellowship.

Some of the fellowship events we’ve had in the past include going bowling, meeting in restaurants, taking a trip to the Louisville Zoo for a concert, potluck dinners accompanied with playing our favorite board games, and going to the movies.

There are over 70 individuals worshipping at OCC who are single and in this age group. Many are not active in a small group like ours, some are active in other small groups. If you are not active in any small group but might like to fellowship and grow with us, we want to invite you to join us. Being connected with a small group is how we grow and learn to care for one another.

Recently, we met at Nancy Vogt’s home (one of our small group members) for a potluck dinner and then played dominoes. Although for some of us, this was the first time we had played this game, it was great fun as we really learned what it is like to be a Christian. Some of our strategies were spoiled by others. Some of us even delighted in spoiling the strategies of others. Some of us were muttering things under our breath that probably did not need to be said out loud.

If you are interested in joining our group, be sure to stop by the Information Desk and pick up a schedule of activities, and then join us at our next group meeting and fellowship time. We would love to have you join us for a great time of fellowship and spiritual growth!
