We will not be meeting the months of June, July, August or September.

Each month, participants will enjoy a variety of engaging activities including crafts, skits, music, dance, and refreshments. We also include a time of prayer and reflection, making it a meaningful experience for everyone.

Come join us for an afternoon of joy, friendship, and fellowship—Our goal is to build meaningful friendships and create a place where everyone feels valued, included, and loved.

We can’t wait to welcome you with open arms!
