Small Groups

First Hour Prayer
Mondays from 8-8:50 AM on Zoom

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
– Colossians 4:2

Join us Monday mornings — all are welcome and participation is open and flexible. We are a committed circle of members and non-members who begin the week by joining together in prayer for our church, community, nation, and world.

Prayer is more than asking God for things we need or hope for – He knows the desires of our hearts! When we come together with others to pray, our faith deepens, our trust in Him grows and we are drawn closer to God and to one another.

Questions? Or for the Zoom link, contact Elizabeth Rabinowitz directly or email info@jesseleechurch.com.

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:5-7

Loving Our Neighbor

Mondays at 7 PM Sept. 9 through Oct. 14

In 2020, we started a small group that used the power of books to introduce us to neighbors whose lives and experiences are different from our own.

Join us on Monday evenings in September and October 2024 as we read and explore the book “Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion” by Father Greg Boyle, SJ.  Father Greg is the founder of Homeboy Industries, a gang intervention program in Los Angeles. The book shares stories of universal kinship, redemption and unconditional love.

Books are available on Books on the Common, on Main Street in Ridgefield.

The Wired Word on Sundays at 10:30 AM 

Jesse Lee Church Adults join a lively discussion of current major events in the news that allows us to dig deep into how we can apply Scripture to a better understanding of what’s happening in the world today. Whether you just want to join us for particular topic or to be a part of an ongoing discussion of today’s events through a Scriptural lens, we hope you’ll join us.

Leader: Fran Head.
