Groups
Invitationals
We are a social group that changes every six months. Comprised of five to seven individuals and/or couples, we meet once a month to enjoy a social activity that we take turns hosting. The host picks an activity - dinner, picnic, evening of games, beach, movie night...whatever. The host provides the entree and the other group members bring a dish. It's all meant to be easy and fun. The groups are deliberately kept small because our other goal is to encourage the host to invite others to the table; friends, neighbors, co-workers, other IUCC members (we have a "guest" sign-up list) to share the wealth of friendship. When the six months are up, new sign-ups are taken, new groups are formed, and again we are invited to the table.

Church Knitters
The Church Knitters meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at 2PM in the small dome at the church. All levels of skill are welcome. If you have never knit before we will get you started. If you haven't knit for a very long time, we will help you remember. If you are experienced, you can share your knowledge with others. Our purpose is to connect with each other and to learn the art of knitting as a meditation, an art form, and a relaxing hobby. We have practice yarn so just bring yourself and some knitting needles. For more information contact Barbara Moss at bobemoss@cox.net.
