Fellowship

Highly encouraged for those who are new or relatively new to Good Samaritan, this group gathers for the church-served dinner on Wednesdays from 5:30–7:30 pm. This is a chance for us to get to know you, and for you to get to know us. Whether you are a new member, or are thinking about membership, come join with others on Mar 26, or May 7.

Everyone planning on attending the Women's North Shore Retreat is invited to join us Monday, May 19, 7:00 PM in the Good Sam Fireside Room for fellowship, to set up final cottage arrangements, distribute information packets, and talk about how to sign up for those resort activities which need to be scheduled in advance (kayak training, massages). Light refreshments will be served.

This retreat will be a mix of planned social and spiritual activities with plenty of free-time during the day. If you are interested in attending the retreat, an informative brochure on retreat activities and resort amenities and registration information can be found on the Adult Opportunities table in Fellowship Hall. Cost varies depending on how many people share a 2-3 bedroom cottage. Contact Rachel at Rachel@good.org if you have questions. Monday, May 19, is the deadline for reservations and payment for the retreat.

All women are welcome to join this group which meets in various homes, the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. They enjoy devotions, programs, conversation, and Christian fellowship together. Please watch the bulletin and newsletter for the location.   In October, we’ll be meeting at the home of Avaunne Hed, and the program will be a video on the life and discipleship of John.  Newcomers and guests are always welcome.

All women are invited to join us the 3rd Wednesday morning of each month for an outing to a Twin Cities attraction (museum, garden, etc.) followed by lunch in a nearby restaurant.  Our next gathering will be on Wednesday, October 17th when we will tour the Eden Prairie City Hall, Police Station, and PROP (People Reaching Out to People).  We will finish the tour with lunch in their café, the Garden Room, a beautiful, sunny room overlooking wetlands.  Meet at 9:30 in the upper parking lot to carpool or call for a ride from your home.  To reserve a spot, and if you need more information or a ride, contact JoAnn Knutson at joannknutson@hotmail.com.
