20's Connect Group

If you're in your 20s, single or married, we'd love to connect with you. We understand the importance of doing life in community with others who love Jesus and want to grow in that relationship with Him. The culture is not helping us look more like Christ, but we as the Church can encourage one another to become more like Him and to love like Him. We want to come around you, help you find community, encourage you in your spiritual journey and help you become a light in this culture. 

Crocheting

Join us on the first Saturday of the month from 10 AM to noon at Wesley Owens Coffee Shop and on the third Thursday of the month from 6:30-8 PM on the upper level of the Monument campus. Bring a project to work on - whether it be knitting, crocheting, or any other craft you enjoy doing. We welcome all skill levels and enjoy creative inspiration from each other!

Disc Golf

The Disc Golf Connect is a group of guys who just like to toss discs. We meet up the second Saturday morning of each month (weather permitting) at a local course for some good-hearted competition! We welcome disc golfers of all levels ... those who have never slung a disc to experienced players who have been slinging discs for years. We usually have extra discs for those who just want to give it a try, too!

Game Night

Game Night’s goal is to bring people from all different backgrounds together to create a community that “loves well” and who are united for their love of board and card games. Everyone is welcome, from casual to competitive gamers, so please feel free to bring a game you enjoy playing or a new game to learn!

Golf

The Woodmen Golf Connect Group provides a way to connect with other men who enjoy golf. Through golf, we want to grow in our character and patience. 

Just as Jesus taught about everyday life using parallels and analogies in parables, our goal is to take practical tips from the game of golf and tie them to spiritual things.

See you at the Tee Box! 

Growing in Generosity

Have you ever met an unhappy generous person? Generosity breeds joy! Are you interested in growing in your generosity alongside others? Join us for a “Journey of Generosity” www.woodmenvalley.org/JOG and then we’ll have gatherings occasionally to talk about how we’re growing in generosity and fun stories of how generosity is becoming contagious. Sign up to get notified about the next Journey of Generosity and other gatherings!

HIKING

We feel going outdoors is a pretty good way to go hang out with God. And so that's what we do May through September. We connect weekly, every Thursday night at various hiking trails around town – all under 4 miles, all less than 2 hours – and stretch our legs together, being active and soaking up God's creation, right here in our own backyard.  

Would you like to join us? All you must do is show up and join in! We meet at 6:15 PM, are on-trail at 6:30 PM sharp, and finish by 8:30 PM, usually watching the sunset and feeling great. Best way to see where to meet us? Check out our schedule here –facebook.com/catalysthiking
