Tuesday mornings: starting January 17 at 9AM in the Chapel studying “1 Peter” by Jen Wilkin. “Peter a man of faith & flaws, challenges us to look beyond our current circumstances to our future inheritance.” Books & sign up sheets are in the Foyer.
Wednesday PM Bible Study with Pastor Dawes resumes January 11. “Has it ever dawned on you that nothing has ever dawned on God? He knew before the world began that his people would face hardship, so He gave us His Word. The book of Ephesians is a survival manual – it equips
believers to thrive in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul, the Apostle, writes to encourage believers to live well.” Join us as we explore this life changing book through discussion, video and teaching.
Ladies Grief Group will be starting a new study on Wednesday evenings, starting January 18 at 6 PM. They will be studying “The Faces of Grief”, “Comfort through sorrow – peace from God. Understanding the phases & aspects of grief can turn crippling sorrow into beautiful remembrances and hope for the years ahead.” Any lady is welcome to attend. There is a sign up table with books in the Foyer today.
