7-2-9 Club

Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm

The 7-2-9 Club was started on Valentine's Day 1979 as an outreach project for the recovering mentally ill. This was the beginning of one of the most unique, gratifying, and intellectual experiences that we have had here in the church. The club meets every Wednesday night from 7:00 to 9:00 (which is how the club got its name). The membership consists of three primary groups: 20+ persons who currently reside at and are being treated at St. Elizabeths Hospital; 20+ persons who have been discharged from the hospital and come on their own from community residence facilities and their own apartments; and 4 to 6 volunteers from the church and community. All these persons come to be with each other, share experiences both good and bad, to discuss problems,and to exchange ideas.
