Women’s Group
We encourage any and all women to drop in at church on the first and third Thursday of every month from 5:30– 7:00 pm for Thursday Women’s Fellowship. Bring a sack supper (your own food from home or purchased on the way) and enjoy eating and spending time together in the Cafe.
The host for each evening will provide a topic for discussion or an activity. Feel free to bring along your own craft, suggest activities for the group, or break away to attend a meeting when needed.
There is no preparation or cost; just come and enjoy some fellowship. If you need a ride or childcare, or have questions, email Angie Bateman or Deb Mengler.
Border Encounter Book Club
Inspired by their recent trips to the border, our El Paso/Juarez border encounter team is leading a book club. Watch this page and church publications for details on our next book and gathering. Questions? Contact Lisa Hall (630-768-6501) or Patrick Sage.
Restaurant Outings
FVPC members and friends get together to enjoy dinner at a local restaurant every few months, with the restaurant donating a portion of our dinner bills to the church. Our latest gathering took place on October 30 at Portofino Trattoria in St. Charles, where everyone enjoyed delicious food and wonderful fellowship. Questions? Please contact Liz Holding (lizholding@comcast.net or (847) 606-8246).
Enneagram Workshop
Enneagram workshops are held from time to time - watch this space and church publications for updates! Questions? Please email Enneagram leaders Laurie Musielak or Becky Pearce.
Pub Theology
All are welcome at Pub Theology, a monthly get-together sponsored by FVPC, the Unitarian Universalist Church, Geneva Lutheran Church, and the United Methodist Church of Geneva. Bring your questions and your curiosity and respectfully engage with people of varying religious traditions, philosophical perspectives, and life experiences.
We generally meet on the first Tuesday of the month, often at Up North Wine Tasting Room, 9 N. Second Street in Geneva, 6:30-8:30 pm.
Organizer for this event: Pastor Rob Hamilton, The United Methodist Church of Geneva
Presbyterian Women
All women of the church are invited to participate in a Presbyterian Women (PW) circle, which is affiliated with the PC(USA) national Presbyterian Women organization. Contact the church office to be put in touch with a current Circle leader.
The Sewing Circle provides a creative way to show God’s love and care to people in need. The Circle creates pillowcase dresses, bags for Church World Service school kits, quilts, and prayer shawls. Circle members enjoy picturing the happiness their creations bring to the recipients and like to say a prayer of blessing over the items before they are distributed. About 100 quilts are created each year.
The Sewing Circle meets year round on Mondays in Rooms 2 and 3, 10:00 am-2:00 pm. New members are very welcome and do not need to know how to sew. There are many tasks such as pinning and tying with yarn that do not require sewing. Knitters are needed to make prayer shawls as well. Questions? Email Anne McManus.
Congregational Revitalization through Community Organizing
Through our membership in the Fox River Valley Initiative we have access to training that will teach us how to build meaningful relationships and have purposeful conversations as we seek to love, grow, and serve together. We also have the opportunity to participate in events to educate ourselves and help make our community a better place. Contact Liz Holding to learn about the next FRVI actions or meetings.
