- Children’s Sunday School: Resumes 9/19 at 9:30am! More info here.
- Adult Sunday Studies:
- The Bible Project: A Journey Through the Bible -- Book by Book | Begins 9/19 at 9:30am: Have you ever tried to read the Bible and get lost in the weeds? Try to read from cover to cover and don’t make it past Exodus? Ever wonder what the main points of each book are about? Join us Sunday Mornings as we discuss a different book of the Bible each week in order. In order to become biblically literate and to fall more in love with God and His Word, we have to understand the bigger picture of God’s redemption. We’ll be using the popular and easily digested “Bible Project” videos each week to kick off our discussions. The Psalmist exclaims, “I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil” (Ps. 119:162). Let’s mine the treasures together! 9:30am in the Fellowship Hall.
- Just Prayer | Begins 10/10 at 9:30am: Not “just” prayer, or prayer about justice, but prayer alone! Inspired by our church-wide retreat, we want to be a church that depends on God and works for results that only God can provide, as opposed to ones that we can manufacture. So let’s do this together - no program, no agenda, just a commitment to pray kingdom prayers together according to the command of Christ, for the glory of Christ, and the building up of His Church!
- Women’s Discipleship Group: Contact Lisa or Diane.
- Men’s Discipleship Group: Contact Jerry.
