New Study in New Directions Sunday School Class

Please join our new study entitled “Soul Keeping – Caring for the Most Important Part of You” by John Ortberg, in Rooms 218-220 at 9:30am.

This author sheds light on the most overlooked, underrated, and least-understood part of your being. With a workable and relevant approach, he shows how living the “with God” life isn’t just a good idea – it’s the only way to find lasting peace and satisfaction.

Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

11 Feb

Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

Beginning February 14th

The God We Can Know, by Rob Fuquay, is a 7-week study designed to explore the “I Am” sayings of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. This series will help you find and form an answer to an essential question in our Christian faith, “Who do YOU say I am?” One by one, Jesus’ statements grab our imagination, reveal more about His identity and purpose, and connect us to the God of Moses, who spoke the first “I Am.” Experience Jesus in insightful ways that point us to a God who wants to be known.

Please join one of our following classes:

Senior High Sunday School Class at 9:30am in the Youth Room, led by Mark Atwood, beginning Feb. 14th

Monday College-Age Bible Study at 7:30pm, led by Thomas Parker & other Facilitators, beginning Feb. 15th

Tuesday Youth Bible Study at 7:30pm, led by Carrie Cahoon & Beth Petty, beginning Feb. 16th

Wednesday Adult Study at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall, led by Sean Niehoff, beginning Feb. 17th

Thursday Adult Study at 6pmin the Fellowship Hall following our Lenten Dinner, led by Pastor Dan, beginning Feb. 18th

Thursday Uncommon Men’s Group at 7pm in Room 218/220, led by Ken Dieffenderfer, beginning Feb. 18th
