Meet new friends groups near Hudsonville, MI

A group of adults who enjoy playing euchre and meeting new people

Do you often speak in metaphors? Do you count syllables under your breath while people talk? Have you been kicked out of a cocktail party for talking about Sylvia Plath too much? Well golly, do I have a group for you! Let's talk about poetry. Let's share our poetry. Let's get into it!

Family & Friends (formerly PFLAG Holland/Lakeshore) meets the first Thursday of the month, in both virtual and in-person formats depending on the month. This program is a safe space to learn how you can be a better advocate and ally and support your LGBTQ+ loved ones and the community at-large.

Our group is dedicated to praying (in English) once a month for Greece and the Greek people. We are a non-denominational Christian group longing to see the Holy Spirit working on the hearts of the Greek people for salvation and transformation, on a national level as well as in everyday life. We believe in the authority of the Bible as God's word and want everyone everywhere to know the love, joy and peace of Christ that can be found in abiding in a personal relationship with Him. You don't have to be Greek to join (I'm not!), but we're glad to have you if you are. Has God laid the Greek people on your heart? Then please join us for prayer. We will take turns praying aloud, but if you want to simply silently agree in prayer as we gather (online) in His Name that's fine, too. No one will be forced to pray aloud. We will be praying in English. The prayers can be for all of Greece, aspects of Greece (economy, justice), and even for specific people themselves (Yiannis, Grandma, etc.). What this group is NOT about: It's not about arguing theology, trying to win everyone over to your opinion. There are many other places you can go for that. It's not about bashing Orthodox believers (or anyone really). Respect should also be shown to all participants. It's not for promoting politics. It's not to pray for your second cousin's neighbor's cat's health. Please try to limit the topic of the prayers to Greece, Greek people and those directly affecting/affected by Greece (refugees, Greek-Americans and so on). Other groups are for petitions for healing. This group is geared toward God's saving grace and spiritual needs. I will be the first to admit I don't know all there is to know about Greece. I've never been there and am not Greek-blooded. However, I (and you!) can still pray for the Gospel of Jesus to change hearts and lives like nothing else can--as well as pray for the general well-being of the country and its circumstances. Our meetings will last around 30 minutes and will take place monthly, on the 2nd Thursday of the month. I hope you will join me. "Be constant in prayer," Romans 12:12. "...in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 We serve a Great God. Let's pray together for Him to do great things in Greece!

It is time to develop a group that at least has one thing in common. WINE …. We either are curious or love the taste of Wine. My job is to figure out fifty-two different ways we can taste wine throughout the world. So yes, we will gather every other week tasting amazing and sometimes not so amazing wines for the simple pleasure to UNWINE. If you are a serious Vinophile this is not the group for you. We seek people that like to have fun and enjoy the company of a diverse group of wine drinkers. Basically, if you are a “know it all snob” find a different group. UNWINED is all about meeting new and old friends, talking, laughing, and of course drinking some Grape Jams. LOL We will start off with a maximum of twelve people per event, due to the fact it is hard to find places that will allow a large group. Each time we will purchase **as a group** 5 bottles of wine with tasting pours of two ounces. The group will split the cost of the wine along with a 22% tip for the server. Average total cost per person $20-25 Events will always start at 6:30 and end when the last wino goes home.
