Making Friends & Moving Couches

“Plug-in” with Sermon Based Discussion

Beginning August 27, 11:30-12:30.

Ever have questions about the sermon? Want some “deliverables” to take home about how to apply the passage? Want to connect with others in a small group setting? “Plug-in” is for both newcomers, those not connected at EvFree and those who have been around for years. Each week we will talk through questions from Darin’s message. In small groups of 6-8 people, it is an easy time to get to know others and better understand the day’s Bible text. David Fletcher, our Executive Pastor will lead “Plug-in” from 11:30-12:30 each Sunday morning in the Commons.

Living Grace Group

Saturdays, September 2-December 16, 10:30am–12:00pm in NC120

The sessions run 16 weeks, but you can join at any time, as each lesson is self-sustaining. Our lessons cover topics such as Identity, Whole-Health Renewal, It’s Not Your Fault, and speak to the mission of relieving suffering, revealing Christ, and restoring lives. Living Grace is for anyone suffering from anxiety to depression and from bipolar to schizophrenia. Visit the church website for more information.
