Welcome to Friends for Good's Fall Community 2026
SCROLL DOWN TO REGISTER!

There is something sacred about being in the same room, sharing the same space, and looking each other in the eye - and this fall, we're building a whole season around it. Our No-Cook Kitchen series is already underway, and there is still plenty of season left. From Arts & Crafts to The (dinner) Gatherings to Hiking & Service, every offering is a chance to slow down, show up, and belong. This is a space where spirituality belongs to everyone, whether you're rooted in a specific faith tradition or find your "church" in nature and community. Across every program, you'll see our values come alive - Open Spirituality in who's welcome, Fierce Kindness in how we treat each other, Intentional Space in how we design our time together, and Co-Creation in the fact that this community is built by all of us, parents and kids alike. Looking for your people? You just found them. All are welcome, and no experience is required - just come as you are.

Each session will feature time where all ages will be together, working and learning as well as time where we will split off into different groups according to age.

Questions can be sent to Adam Hayden at 812-430-4464 or adam@k4p.org.

Rest in Who You Are - A Creative Workshop Series
Oct 11, 18, 25, and Nov. 1 from 2:30pm-4:00pm
This will take place at Wordplay in Northside (1556 Chase Avenue) except October 18th which will take place at 4089 S Langland St in Northside

Rest in Who You Are is a four-session arts workshop series led by Friends for Good and Cincinnati artist and educator Adoria Maxberry of Most OutGROWing LLC. Through portrait-making, mixed media, and textile art, participants will explore identity, self-perception, and the power of rest - leaving with two original pieces of art and a deeper sense of who they are! See what we will be up to at each session:

Session 1: Mirror Me: Partner up and draw each other's portraits, capturing who your partner is beyond how they look.
Session 2: Frame It Up: Use mixed media to decorate a frame for your portrait, filled with the things that matter most about you.
Session 3: Pillow Time: Inspired by Adoria's exhibition Revolutionary Recipes, decorate a mini pillow while we talk about the importance of rest.
Session 4: Tie It All Up: Sew and stuff your pillow, then reflect on how you see yourself, and leave with two finished pieces of art to display.

The (dinner) Gathering
Aug 28, Sept 25, Oct 30 & Dec 4
Each dinner gathering will take place at Wordplay in Northside (1556 Chase Avenue)

At the heart of Friends for Good is a simple belief: something sacred happens when we share a meal, look each other in the eye, and just be present together. The Gathering is exactly that - a relaxed evening around the table for the whole community, no agenda except connection. This is Open Spirituality lived out plainly: whatever brought you here, whatever you believe or don't, there's a seat for you. Our facilitators show up not as instructors but as neighbors and friends, building the kind of relationships that make this community feel like family.

Hiking
Oct 3 at 10am
Hiking meet up point will be the Treehouse at Mt. Airy Forest

Nothing clears the mind, or opens a good conversation, quite like a trail. Our hiking day invites families out into nature to move, breathe, and notice the world together, practicing Caretaking as we learn to see ourselves as stewards of the earth rather than visitors passing through it. It's also a quiet exercise in Self-Reliance, as kids build confidence navigating the outdoors alongside trusted parents and friends.

Service Project
Nov 8 (time tbd)
Location for Service project will be at Camp Washington UCC - 2950 Sidney Ave

We believe caring for the earth and caring for each other are the same act. Our fall service project puts that belief into practice, rolling up sleeves as a full community, parents, kids, and leaders together, to leave something better than we found it. It's Caretaking made tangible, and a hands-on lesson in Critical Curiosity: noticing a need, asking why it exists, and doing something real about it. More details coming soon!
