LADIES’ BIBLE STUDY Sermon on the Mount begins January 13 & 14, 2026. What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus? Join us in this 9-session study, revised & updated, from Jen Wilkin as she invites you to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. Books are available for pickup (suggested donation of $23). Sign up today in the main lobby!
