Groups meet regularly to develop close personal bonds with one another, to offer friendship and support and to grow in their personal faith journey. |
|
Each unique group offers a place to learn, a place to listen and a place to be heard as the Christian community makes a church come alive! A sense of that community of believers is genuinely contagious. At South Canyon Lutheran everyone is invited to catch the fever.
Prayer Connection: Join us in seeking God's direction for our world, nation, church, family and self on Wednesday and/or Thursday mornings. We invite you to gather with us from 8:30 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. in the Reformation Room at the church. This is a mid-week opportunity to redirect and regain a focus with God. Whether you are a prayer warrior or just beginning your prayer life, YOU are invited to join us. Come, relax and give praise to God knowing that the power of prayer does not depend on the one who makes the prayer, but the one who hears the prayer.

Quilting! South Canyon Lutheran's Piecemakers meet every Thursday at 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall at the church. This high energy group can be recognized by the sound of the hum of their machines. But at 10:00 a.m. sharp the machines grow silent while the ladies break for great food and a time for devotions and prayer. With just enough food, fun and fellowship, the "Piecemakers" know how to get things done. They make quilts for Lutheran World Relief and local agencies. This team is much more than a quilting group. They are a ministry team that is always up for a new challenge. They are always open for new creative ways to use their gifts and talents - from Sunday school costumes to baby quilts for our smallest members. Each year they have a quilting bee to prepare all the quilts they send to Lutheran World Relief. You may view their items during the fall bazaar and at the silent auction in the spring. All proceeds are given back to our community through their generous donations.
Singles - Friends and members gather together monthly for social events. If you are single and ready for some fun, this is your group. Some of our activities include: hiking, biking, campfires, movies and pizza, dinner theater, plays, cross country skiing, driving in the hills, and Christmas parties.
Book Discussion Group – Join us monthly for a lively book discussion at the church. We meet on the third Saturday of each month at 8:15 a.m. sharp. A wide variety of books are read making the discussions interesting. Everyone is encouraged to recommend a book for the group to read. The selected book for the month is listed in the Parish Newsletter.
Look Who's Coming to Dinner – Do you like to eat? This lively group meets four times a year for a Sunday night dinner at different houses with different people. It begins with an opportunity to socialize at the church as a large group over appetizers, and then move to a pre-arranged home for your meal. Each person is responsible for part of that evening's meal--appetizers, salad, main course or dessert. This is a great way to get to know new people or get to know people better. Everyone is invited to join this group in the fall.
Women's Study Opportunities:
Bible Study – An important part of the ministry at South Canyon Lutheran is Bible study. Whether you have a wealth of biblical knowledge or are opening the Bible for the first time, we have a study for you. New resources are always being explored. This spring we had a Mother/Daughter Study, noon Bible Study, Tuesday morning study of Exodus and Joshua, and now for the summer we will having Parables in the Park.
Lutheran Women Today study groups - Five groups of women meet once a month (except in the summer) for Bible study and fellowship. Three groups meet on Tuesday, one on Wednesday and one on Thursday the third week of the month. With all these different opportunities, we hope one works for you! Dates, times and places are listed in the Parish News which is posted on the website.
Men's Fraternity – They meet weekly on Friday mornings at 6 a.m. All men are invited and encouraged to join this unique group as they engage in a video study discussion along with fellowship. Join them at the church in the Koinonia Room; you can bet the coffee is on!
Breakfast Groups
Ladies: The women's breakfast group meets every Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. at Tally's Restaurant (530 6th Street). They meet for a short devotion, fellowship and of course breakfast. There's a seat saved for you.
Men: The men's group meets every Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. at Hardee's (2250 Haines Street). Join them for a discussion of the next Sunday's lessons led by the pastor. Come for breakfast and leave with much more than a full stomach! There is a place at the table for you!

YAH (Young at Heart) Monthly Potluck - On the second Friday of each month all seniors are invited to gather together for great food, fellowship and a short video presentation in the Koinonia Room. They are known for the delicious variety of food and the warm, friendly environment. Remember to bring your own place setting, a dish to share, and a friend! New YAHs are always welcome!!
Pastor's Studies - One class is on Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. and another is on Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. both led by Pastor Bruce. These two studies give people a chance to grow in their relationship with God. During the summer months you will enjoy the opportunity to visit with the pastors between the services as people fellowship together over a cup of coffee in the Koinonia Room.
