Summer Supper Club

Join a Summer Supper Club for a chance to make new friends and build community beyond Sunday worship. Whether you're a member or a visitor, we invite you to choose one of seven options and join the fun. If you can't find a group that fits your schedule, feel free to email Janice at jyates@decaturfirst.org to explore adding more options. Please note that while the name suggests supper, the groups may meet at other times. 

Register by May 31!

Prayer Bead Practice

For many of us, prayer does not come easily - our minds wander, we get anxious, and we judge ourselves for not being good at it.  Practicing prayer with beads can be very helpful!  Beads can help with focus, serve as a physical reminder of God’s presence, and quiet the mind.  Let’s practice using them together! You’re invited to join Janice Watts Yates at the church on Monday, June 15 from 6 - 7:30pm for a brief introductory lesson followed by several opportunities to practice using beads for prayer.  Register at this link.  If you do not have your own prayer beads, you can purchase them for $8 when you register. For more information, contact Janice Yates at jyates@decaturfirst.org.  

Friends & Family Choir

The Friends and Family summer choir is back starting June 21st! Join us in the sanctuary for a brief devotional and a rehearsal of the morning's anthem from 10:30 to 10:50 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there!
