LENT STUDY: SEVEN LAST WORDS

Sundays, February 15 thru March 29 | 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

During Lent, our focus will be on Jesus’s final words from the Cross.  What did Jesus show us about himself and about ourselves through the final phrases spoken at the end of his life?   As we prepare our hearts for Good Friday and Easter, we will spend time dwelling on God’s amazing and sacrificial love demonstrated through the Cross.

RUTH: LOSS, LOVE, & LEGACY

Thursdays, January 8 thru February 19 | 10 to 11:30 a.m. | Library | Led by Susan Solomon | Cost: $22
In this study from Kelly Minter, we'll examine Ruth's journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. We'll see how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores.  The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, it's not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us for even a moment.
 

PSALM 23: A SHEPHERD WITH ME

Wednesdays, January 14 thru March 4 | 7 to 8:30 p.m. | Bride's Room | Led by Lindsey Parker & Gretel Roberts | Cost: $20
Many of us know Psalm 23 by heart but haven't experienced its insight and meaning in our everyday lives. This beloved psalm is more than a psalm that comforts in death; it gives confidence in life.  Explore the depths of God's compassionate care while debunking the self-reliance myth. Learn how your vulnerability is not a liability because you can trust the Shepherd's goodness throughout each season of life.

​

TWELVE DARING WOMEN OF THE BIBLE

Thursdays, February 26 thru May 14 | 10 to 11:30 a.m. | Library | Led by Susan Solomon | Cost: $18

MEN'S GROUPS​

​

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Fridays | 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. | Parlor & Zoom | Led by Rev. Colton Castle & Rev. Andy Roberts

The book of Revelation is full of strange, lurid, and sometimes bizarre and violent imagery. Despite these interpretive challenges, Revelation offers one of the clearest visions of God's ultimate purpose for the whole creation, and of the victory of God's kingdom over the forces of evil through God's chosen people. We will explore the most misunderstood and provocative book in the New Testament, and be challenged to envision the Kingdom of God coming in all its glory and power.
