Ladies Luncheon
On the 2nd Monday of each month, women in the UPG gather at Perkin’s restaurant at noon for a time of refreshment, fellowship, and wonderful discussion!

Partnering with the Wreaths Across American program, we place Christmas wreaths on the graves of veterans at the Fountain Hill cemetery.

Striders - Come Walk With Us
Dust off those walking shoes & join the Striders of St. John’s & the UPG for our weekly walks beginning on the last two weeks in April and in May. All are welcome, including family, friends, & even dogs (except when dogs are not permitted
per the location - will be noted in the location description)! Weather permitting, all walks begin at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evenings from April 20 through the Fall. For variation, the location changes each week. Walk for an hour of exercise at your own pace - some of us walk quickly, some of us amble along, but we all have fun! Join us for fellowship & exercise! Let’s be good stewards of the gift God first gave us...our bodies.
