Columba Circles
When: Wednesdays, October 5 to November 9
Join with fellow St. Columbans in a Columba Circle small group that will meet for an hour on Wednesday evenings for six weeks from October 5 to November 9. We’ll use this time to reconnect, welcome newcomers, and share our stories by exploring questions around experiencing God’s welcome, what hinders and helps our relationship with God, what God is asking of us, and where the Spirit is moving within us and the larger community. Groups will utilize tools from the Center for Courage & Renewal to guide these conversations.
Columba Circles will take place in conjunction with Community Suppers on Wednesday evenings. To join a Circle, register by selecting a meeting time (5-6 pm or 7-8 pm) and room. Each group needs a minimum of six people to form, and no group will have more than eight people. Newcomers are welcome!
|
|
Can’t commit to joining a small group this fall? No problem - there will be other open seasons for Columba Circles in the winter (after Epiphany) and spring (after Easter).
Questions or having trouble registering? Contact Courtney Hundley (chundley@columba.org) or Michele Prince (mprince@columba.org).

Join the choir!
Music is an integral part of both worship and community life here at St. Columba's, and we'd love to welcome you to our group of dedicated singers who lead the music on Sundays.
St. Columba Singers enjoy singing and worshiping together, share music from a variety of sacred styles, and include singers of all levels from the parish and community. The choir sings each Sunday at the 11:15 am service and rehearses in person or on Zoom Thursday evenings, 7:30-9 pm. Celtic Choir is our group of adult singers who help support the choirs and congregation at the 9 am service. They rehearse in the Music Room on Sundays from 10:10-10:30 am.
To join one of our choirs, or for more information, please contact Anne Timpane atimpane@columba.org.
