First Olympia Friendship Hikers
The First Olympia Hiking Group provides an opportunity for outdoor lovers to enjoy fellowship together and experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Co-leaders Mae Wharton and Ginger Sarver plan a one day-hike each month, weather permitting. We welcome anyone who wishes to join the group as their schedules permit and we try to vary the difficulty of our hikes from easy trails to more moderate challenges. New members are always welcome and can be added to our email communication list by contacting the church office or Mae (maewharton@gmail.com) or Ginger (bgsarver@comcast.net).
Widow & Widowers Fellowship
Widow and Widowers Fellowship is for anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse to come together with others who share that life experience for friendship. To learn about the next W&WF event please contact Pastor Heather Sparkman or subscribe to the church e-newsletter.
Affinity Nights
Affinity Nights take place on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm for 6-8 week "rounds" throughout the year. The night starts with a potluck (6-7pm) and then folks participate in the evening's offerings from 7-8pm. Offerings might include Bible Study, Yoga, pickup choir, arts & crafts, service projects, board games, trivia, book club, and more! Affinity Nights are for people of all ages! Fall Affinity Nights will begin on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
