Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N)

Happy 2025

Now that the new year is underway, we look forward to lots of opportunities for our Neighbor to Neighbor groups to gather.

If you need more information about our Neighbor to Neighbor groups, be sure to stop by the Small Groups Fair on Sunday, 1/26 after our 10:00 service.

We hope to have some fun postings of our groups in action.

Starting us off, the Delphinium/Poppies & Zinnias, as pictured below, met on January 5th for a potluck lunch after Sunday service.

N2N  Statement of Purpose

Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) is an initiative that was started to geographically link the members of our congregation by neighborhoods to develop friendship and support for one another in a small group setting. In addition, the groups provide enhanced ability to communicate with staff and with others in the wider church  community, including networking with Team Kindness to support members of the congregation in times of need. Groups meet at self-determined intervals and create their own way of gathering. Some groups may use their N2N group as an opportunity to develop volunteers for the support of the Church, or to become involved in social justice work and for others. N2N is primarily a way to gather socially and support each other.
