SOCIAL GROUPS

The activities of the church's social groups vary from year to year.  The age ranges are not "set in stone", but all groups are eager to welcome new people.  If you are interested in participating in any activity, you are more than welcome!  Watch The Cornerstone and bulletins (See the Newsletter web page for links) for details on all the social happenings of MPC.

Happily Ever After is the newest group for couples in their 20's - 40's with or without children.  They plan a fun schedule of activities for couples and families like snow-tubing, DelGrosso Water Park, bowling and Valentine luncheons.   Join them as they grow together.

Happy Hikers - This group of outdoor enthusiasts enjoy walking and hiking trips to nearby state parks and trails each Tuesday morning.  They also do camping, bike hikes and canoeing.

Married With Children - is a social group that gets together at will.  We have had sweetheart dinners and white elephant events.  We have a wide range of ages and interests, but the common thread is we have children - from elementary age to post high school.
