While the H.O.M.E. Groups are the primary means of connecting with others at TCC, there are several other groups that meet throughout the week. These groups for ladies, men, or both, seek to meet relational, physical and spiritual needs. Check out the opportunities below and get connected!
Ladies Morning Out (LMO) - ANY AGE, ANY STAGE
Would you like a morning out?
Would you like a break?
Would you like to meet your neighbours?
Plan to come out. Leave the laundry, the incessant tidying up, the bills to be paid, and come take a break for 2 hours. It’ll all be there when you get home (sigh) but you may actually enjoy doing it once you’ve recharged your batteries. You might even sing while removing grass stains! Don’t believe it? Well, you’ll never know if you don’t come!
Childcare will be available for children 6 months to age 5. Babies and toddlers under 2 will be in the nursery where they can enjoy some quiet play with safe, age appropriate toys. We do ask that no food be brought into the nursery, but please feel free to bring a labelled sippy-cup for your child. Kids over two will get to play in our 2’s room where they can play with lots of toys, watch videos and enjoy a yummy snack.
We have put together an awesome calendar for this semester and have lots of great speakers planned. LMO meets on Wednesday’s. Unless otherwise noted, all events start at 10:00am from September - April. Can’t wait to see you there, don’t forget a friend and their kids as well.
For more information about LMO, email Janelle Dewarle.
Running and Walking Group
Twice each week, all year long, through rain, snow and sub-zero temperatures, a group of men and women enjoy a run or walk together. On Tuesday nights at 6:05 pm, the group meets across the street from the Mac’s in Terwillegar Towne (next to our church property). You can choose a shorter or longer distance depending on your preference. On Saturday’s at 9:00 am (8:00 am in the summer) the group meets at various locations around the city for a run of about 10 km in length. After the run/walk, the group enjoys coffee and conversation at a nearby cafe. During the summer, since many in the group are training to participate in a half marathon in the fall, the runs become longer according to the training schedule. However, there are always some who are looking for a shorter run. All levels of runners are welcome!
For more information, or to be placed on a contact list for this group, email Melanie Lee.
Men’s Coffee Talk
Need encouragement? Need mentoring? There is a group of men that meet at the Second Cup on Rabbit Hill Road at Terwillegar Drive (Riverbend) every Wednesday morning at 6:30 am. The focus of the conversation is the Life Journal reading for the day. A simple study method of Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer (SOAP) is used. If more men attend, another table is started.
For more information, contact Pastor Ken or Rudi Radke.
Triads
Triads are comprised of three people, all of the same gender, who meet weekly to check in with one another as a means of encouragement for spiritual growth and development. Groups meet weekly at a time and place convenient for each triad. There is no curriculum or training needed, nor does the church organize these groups. You are to take the initiative by finding two other believers with whom you can agree to journey together with in faith. Accountability consists of three essential disciplines for personal spiritual growth:
- evaluation of personal journey
- reading and interacting with Scripture, and
- praying for others who need Christ
Mountain Biking
During the summer months a group of men go mountain biking every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm. They also meet at the Second Cup in Riverbend, ride from there, and then enjoy some coffee and company upon their return.
