MEN’S LUNCH

When: Third Wednesday of each month, May – August  | 11:30am

Who: David Kaiser-Cross 

Where: Panera Bread – Alton, Palm Beach Gardens

New Summer Schedule! We invite the Men’s Breakfast crew and friends to gather for fellowship and conversation at 11:30am at Panera Bread on Donald Ross Rd in the Alton shopping center. Come for coffee, pastry, lunch, or whatever! Our summer theological topic will focus on the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapters 5-7.

This week’s May 17th meeting will dive into the Beatitudes, Matthew 5:1-12. Read ahead and be prepared to share. In our world, which Beatitudes make sense, and which Beatitudes defy logic? Hope to see you there – no need to sign up just show up!

SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE

A great way to meet and get to know your church family is to volunteer alongside each other for a common goal.  The Special Events Committee is forming to plan events on and off campus, creating opportunities to serve, to connect, and to form lasting friendships. Our upcoming 40th Anniversary is in the works!  Please click below if you want to be a part of this committee.

DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS

When: 2nd & 4th Thursdays of each month, 1:00-3:00pm

Where: CSR – Bethany Room

Caring for a loved one with dementia is something you just do. Though done out of love, it can be difficult and emotionally draining for the caregiver.  Because of this, JupiterFIRST is, once again, offering a Dementia Caregivers Support Group. 

Led by Christine VonBallmoos LCSW, this group is designed to be supportive and educational, and will provide the love and resources needed to be an effective caregiver.

You may register below or call/email the church office, 561.747.8340/info@jupiterfirst.org.
