Deepen your relationship with the living Christ through interior silence. This group is welcome to all and meets year-round.

This women's study group is composed of women of varying ages and backgrounds, both IPC members and friends. We always welcome new members to join us. The group studies books in the areas of theology, spirituality, church history, interfaith studies, as well as books about social issues that impact the life of faith. The group uses a discussion format. This fall, beginning September 17, the group is studying "Near the Exit: Travels with the Not-So-Grim Reaper" by Lori Erickson. This book takes both a poignant and funny look at rituals around the world surrounding sacred end-of-life thoughts, rituals, and practices.

Congregational Care is hosting a support group for members and friends of IPC who may be serving as a caregiver for a loved one with a chronic, life-altering condition. A new 6-week group will begin on Wednesdays beginning September 4 at 10:30 AM in Room 304 at IPC. If you are a caregiver for someone with Dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, ALS or any other chronic illness, we welcome you to join us for a six-week group. This group will offer support with an opportunity to connect with others in similar situations, and will also provide some new tools to help you care for yourself even as you care for your loved one.
