Sunday Morning Connection // Meets in 131A on Sundays at 8:30am
This group creates space to connect with other adults as we share life together. Through sharing our weekly life experiences, we engage with God by seeing Him work in our lives and sharing our praises. We journey together through sharing where God has been leading us throughout the week. And we spread hope in praying together and encouraging each other along life’s journey. This group is limited to four new members this semester, so contact Greg if you would like to join: g.cisz5@gmail.com
Lunch at the Park // Meets at Pavillion/Playground on Sundays at 11:30am
This group is an informal way that we can journey together while enjoying the summer weather. For this group, we will encourage you to bring a packed lunch to eat under the pavilion. If you have kids, they can play at the playground. All are welcome whether you have kids or not. All of the conversation will be natural with no agenda by Nate and Alyssa Benner.

CHOW // Meets on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00p
In order to help meet the growing food insecurity in the Binghamton region, we host a food pantry every Tuesday. There are a limited number of volunteer opportunities, but everyone can help us stock the food pantry by bringing in food. The fourth Sunday of every month is designated as CHOW Sunday. We will announce that month’s needs to stock the pantry. If you are in need of food relief, please contact our office here.
We have no other “Spreading Hope” groups over the summer.
This means two things:
1) Please pray about how God may be asking us all to step further into spreading hope.
2) You are still called to spread hope in your daily life by living with the fruit of the Spirit in every interaction. In a very real sense, this is the most important way that we all can spread hope within the Southern Tier.
