New Women's Small Group

We will have a new Women's Community Life Small Group beginning in the New Year. If you are an empty-nester, newly retired or looking at retirement, then gather together with a group of women to explore this new chapter in our life. We will meet for our initial gathering on Wednesday, January 18, at 4:30 p.m. in the Small Group Room on campus. "This will be a wonderful way to support each other at this transition and explore what's next in our lives," said Barbara Roach, who will be leading the small group. Contact jeanetteh@foothillsumc.org for more information.
