Community groups at Pasadena Mennonite are:
Spaces to grow deeper together and with God: Our hope is that our time together will be a means for us to grow in fellowship and attend to our common spiritual lives, understanding how God is working with each of us.
Open spaces of invitation for anyone: Community groups are meant to grow deeper together, but they are also meant to be spaces porous enough to join, to welcome genuinely, and to have an open seat for whomever is next to partner with us.
An alternate entry point: Community groups are not “the next level” of church so to speak, but a place where we can be the church together. Perhaps you have a hard time connecting on Sundays. Community groups might be a great alternate place for you to connect to the community.
A reflection of who we are and want to be: We are people made to be in community together. Our commitment to community groups is a commitment to not simply be participants and spectators but to be partners together as we follow Jesus day by day.
Current Community Groups
Glendale Potluck and Social Group
The Finlay family invites you to a Glendale community group hosted at their home every 2nd and 4th Thursday. Join for an informal potluck and hangout time; no homework or content other than sharing from our lives and enjoying time together!
Seekers Group
This community group meets about every other week in one another’s homes to share one another’s joys and concerns with the theme of seeking God in Scripture, Creation, community, and everywhere we can as we strive to know, love, and serve our Lord. No advance reading or homework, but meetings include relational time, reflection, prayer, and laughter.
Taize Group
This group meets once a month on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m. from September to June, with dinner together with PMCers following the Taize service at All Saints Church. Taize services involve simple, meditative singing that came out of the Taize community, an ecumenical Christian community in France.
Movement Prayer Group
We gather about once a month to connect with the earth through mindful walking as a form of prayer. For the first 30 minutes, we walk in silence in different neighborhoods or trails in the ‘Dena area, and listen to the Spirit alive in creation around us. Then for the next 30 minutes, we walk together after sharing what we heard and sensed.
Youth Groups: We offer youth programs for middle and high school students, grades 6-12. Reach out to us for more info!
