We call ourselves the Knit Wits, the Prayer Shawl Ministry of North Decatur Presbyterian Church. Since February 2007, we have been knitting shawls for baptisms, graduations, weddings, and also for the sick or troubled among us. Experience is not required; we teach beginners!

Neighborhood Parishes offer a way for NDPC members and friends to maintain a close-knit community within our larger growing church environment. Parishes are groups of 5-8 families (15-20 people), organized by the geographic proximity of members’ homes. If you are interested in connecting with a parish in your community, contact our co-pastors.

All senior adults (60+) are welcome at the SAGEs gathering for monthly luncheons and programs. We share a delicious lunch prepared by Badda Bing! Catering, followed by programs that are fun and interesting.

SAGES Seekers meets on the third Tuesdays of the month from 10 a.m. – Noon for small group fellowship and conversation related to the spiritual gifts and challenges of aging.

The women of NDPC have been gathering for more than 30 years for food, drinks, friendship, and spiritual support. Are you thirsty for food, fun, and fellowship with the women of NDPC? Come join us! Contact Dee Raeside.
