Adult Ministries

There are a number of groups for adults at Green's Farms Church that offer friendship, fun, exploration of our faith, spiritual nurture, and deepening connections to our community. Each group welcomes new participants. Some are small others are large.

We hope to create more small groups to provide even more opportunities for community life. If you have an idea for a new group please contact our minister, Jeffrey Rider.

GFC'S SENIORS This group meets monthly to enjoy activities together. We meet for lunch and programs at the church and also travel to nearby sites.  We have visited Sherwood Island, the Aldrich Museum and the Bridgeport Cabaret Theater.  For more information contact Wayne Balfanz at 762-2063. SOPHIA'S CIRCLE Our new, church-wide women's organization formed after our very successful first Women's Retreat last year at Wisdom House.  Sophia is the personification of Wisdom in the Bible, whose remnants are found in the Wisdom Literature, and is often replaced by the words, "Logos" and "the Word".  We will all learn a great deal more about Sophia from the Daughters of Wisdom, the Roman Catholic nuns who run Wisdom House. Because of the incredible energy and enthusiasm generated by this retreat, participants requested that more events for women by offered on a regular basis by GFC.  This summer, we had a bike hike In Litchfield, CT organized by Joan Burgess and Marti Kimberley, as well as a wine and cheese party at Compo Beach, organized by Gina Orban.  For more information, contact Diana Mrotek at 226-9034.

BIBLE STUDY

DUSTY BIBLES
On Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. and on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m., our Pastoral Associate John Twiname offers Bible study groups for engaging questions, provocative Bible studies, and lively discussion that both challenge and deepen faith. For more information contact the Rev. John Twiname at 227-2728 x 306.  jdtwine@aol.com

WOMEN'S STUDY GROUP
On Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m.. women gather for friendship, support and to engage in a reflective study of the Bible. We focus on reading the stories of prominent and not so prominent women in the Bible and look for insights for women today. For more information contact Diana Mrotek at 226-9034.

PRAYER PARTNERS
This is a group of church members who receive prayer requests and agree to pray the prayer chain for those in our church and beyond in need of healing prayer.  It takes about one half hours, one Thursday per month at 11:30 a.m. in the Parlor. All prayer requests are confidential. For more information or to leave a prayer request contact Diana Mrotek at 226-9034

THE PRAYER SHAWL PROJECT
Over the summer, the Women's Study Group distributed four shawls to people in our church who are ill, housebound or grieving.  Now, members are busy knitting and crocheting new shawls for future distribution.  For more information contact Diana Mrotek at 226-9034
