Tell Me Something Good:
Grounding Ourselves in the Good News This Lent

Hamline Church embraces the Methodist tradition of small groups, providing opportunities to deepen faith in God, connect with others, and grow together in community.
Starting the week of February 22nd, you are invited to take part in our seasonal small groups here at Hamline. Most will follow our worship series: Tell Me Something Good: Grounding Ourselves in the Good News This Lent; with one group focusing on Spiritual Practices and another on the Gospel of John.
Small groups meet once a week for the six weeks of Lent concluding around Easter, April 5.
Please take a look at the following options and see where you feel drawn to be in this holy season.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18 - join us for dinner at 5:30 and worship with the imposition of ashes at 6:30pm.
