*   Behold the Beauty of the Lord, conversations on visual arts and beauty led by Anita Kehr, meets in front of the meetingroom.

*   A women's class studying the book, The Life You Always Wanted:  Spiritual Disciplines of Ordinary People, meets in the Jubilee Hall after the children have finished singing.

*   A long-term discussion-based group meets in the southeast corner of the meetingroom.

*   The College-Age Class, led by Joe Liechty, John Roth, and Jan and Peter Shetler, meets in the library.

Children from preschool through fifth grade gather after worship for singing in the Jubilee Hall (the large room north of the fellowship hall).  Younger children may go directly to their classroom (see the room assignments below).
