Congregational Care Small Groups
The Barnabas Project: Men Encouraging Men
Friday Mornings from 7:00 - 8:00 in the church conference room.
The Barnabas Project is a men’s community group focused on mental health and spiritual support. Open to all men—whether or not you are a member of RPC. This group provides a safe and welcoming space to discuss real-life challenges in an atmosphere of trust and respect.
Participants can expect genuine fellowship with brothers in Christ, the freedom to share as much or as little as they feel comfortable, and a strong commitment to confidentiality. Together, members listen, encourage one another, and pray, fostering strength, hope, and mutual support.

Volunteers needed to serve on Mondays. Arrangers break down the Sanctuary and Narthex flowers and make individual small arrangements. These arrangements are taken by the deliverers to members who are listed on the Prayer Concerns list. Consider doing this with a friend and enjoying fellowship.

The Prayers and Squares meets every Monday throughout the year to create prayer quilts for individuals facing physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges. As each quilt is made, prayers are offered and ribbons are tied with knots, making the quilt a tangible reminder of God's love and the congregation's prayers. Quilting can be done in fellowship with the group or individually, and quilts are freely given to anyone who desires prayer and is willing to receive one.

Prayer Shawl Ministry Volunteers meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons to knit or crochet shawls, blankets, and lap robes. Knitting and crocheting is mostly done in fellowship with other Roswell Presbyterian Church members, but individuals may bring finished items to the group. After a prayer by name, a prayer shawl is delivered to those recently sick or in surgery. Roswell Presbyterian Church members may request that one be delivered.
