At EHCC we offer several opportunities to stretch the mind and spirit with a smaller group of people.

• The date and interviewee subject for our next Faith and Reason Conversation has yet to be determined.   (For more information on what  we've seen/discussed so far this year, click on Faith and Reason).
  
  

• Bible Study: The Bible Study fellowship meets Tuesdays during the school year from 9:30-11am in Dee's office to discuss the texts that have been assigned by the lectionary for the following Sunday. Pastor Dee Eisenhauer or Pastor Emily Tanis-Likkel usually lead the study, using the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum as a resource. The curriculum leads us to connect the ancient texts with our day-to-day experiences. The wisdom of the class participants enhances our understanding of the faith as we share our ideas and stories. Newcomers are always welcome. No pre-requisite knowledge of the Bible is required. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bible), or we’ll loan you one if you need it.  Click on Worship with Us to see weekly  lectionary/scripture readings.   During the summer we will meet on June 3, June 10, July 8 and August 12.  We will resume a regular weekly schedule in September.
  
  
• Choir: We’re a multi-age group with a variety of singing experience. We’re open to any and all who’d like to explore and expand their vocal interests and talents. We practice Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:15pm and Sunday mornings at 8:30am before worship. Some of us also participate in smaller group ensembles who perform periodically before the congregation.  Our last rehearsal of this school year is June 12; we will resume a regular practice schedule in September...details to come...
  
  If you're interested in singing with us, contact Alice Tawresey or Carol Estes.
  
  
• Hungry Readers: Our book discussion group meets to discuss books with a spiritual focus or that address social issues.   Meeting at 7pm on (usually) the third Monday of the month, we share personal responses to the notions raised by the books.  Everyone is welcome.   See above for our movie date.  We take a break from meeting in July and August.  Details soon on our book choice for September...
  
  
• Mary Martha Lunch Bunch.  The Mary Martha Circle has decided to change its name to Lunch Bunch to become more inviting to all women of the congregation. We meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month during the school year .  We will still have our short business meeting at 11:30am, but we invite anyone who would like to come for a casual lunch to join us at noon.  Bring a salad, yogurt, or a sandwich, and we will furnish coffee and dessert.  We will occasionally have short programs and we always have friendly conversations.  We take a break during the summer, but resume meeting in September...
  
  
• Men’s Breakfast: We meet from 7-8:20am every Thursday (except major holidays) in our fellowship hall. We partake of a simple meal of oatmeal and fruit, and enjoy conversation and, often, a program by one of our attendees or a guest we’ve invited. The group is secular in nature, comprised of many philosophies, faiths, and beliefs, and there is amazing expertise available, regardless of the subject. All men are welcome.
  
  
• Spiritual Quest Groups: These are gatherings of 5-12 committed people who want to share more intimately some of the concerns and thoughts in their journeys of faith. Quest groups foster growth of self-knowledge and greater love and appreciation for the others in the group, and beyond. If interested in joining or forming a group, please call the church office.  We can make format recommendations, but each group is free to determine what works best for it.  Please contact the church office if you're interested in joining a quest group.
