Care Groups

The 2011-12 Care Group Season has kicked off! If you are interested in being part of a care group and/or you have any questions, please contact MSCC or the specific contact person for the group you might be interested in. We have a couple of new groups starting this fall, as well as many continuing groups, that would love to have you visit. With several different groups and formats, we believe there is a group for you. But...if you don't see one that fits your needs, please let us know. We would love to continue to grow our Care Group options so that everyone finds a home in one of these communities.
