Fellowship Opportunities at Eden Prairie UMC 

At Eden Prairie UMC, we are committed to provide a safe, healthy environment for members and friends. The church building is closed to groups of any size. We are working on a variety of ways to stay connected during the coronavirus outbreak. We are offering small groups that meet outdoors, maintaining physical distance, or else they meet on digital platforms. We continue to find ways to support the PROP Food Shelf and other organizations.  As the situation and health guidelines change frequently, please call us at 952-937-8781 if you have any quesitons.

Let's Connect small groups

Picture
Let's Connect is a collection of small groups whose purpose is to make deep and personal connections with others at Eden Prairie United Methodist Church.  These groups are seeking to build community to care for each other and to keep one another connected, especially while we are not gathering for in-person worship.
​
Everyone is invited and encouraged to be part of a Let's Connect small group. Currently, each group has approximately 8 members and will continue to meet through the end of November.  Depending on people’s preferences, groups are designated as ‘online only’ (via Zoom), or can also be in-person with social distancing, if circumstances permit.

New Let’s Connect groups will be forming in January!  We would like you to join us for some fellowship!  If interested in being part of a Let’s Connect group, contact Deb Soderholm (debsoderholm@gmail.com) or Bruce Webster (brucedwebster@comcast.net)
