Grandparenting Matters Class

Thursdays at 6:30pm
April 20 – May 25

Grandparents play a unique and profoundly influential role in the lives of their grandchildren, but they often don’t understand their enormous potential to influence generations!

This six-session seminar teaches grandparents key principles that help them embrace their biblical role so they can be more intentional about building a spiritual legacy with their families.

Curtis and Kaye Absher will lead this video-driven seminar with workbooks from The Legacy Coalition to guide the study and conversation. The class will meet Thursdays from 6:30–8:00pm in Room 203–204 of the Family Life Center (Gym).


Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study

This summer we will be studying the book of Nehemiah! Nehemiah recounts the relationship between a faithful God and His people. It is a story of God’s sovereignty and the power of prayer. It is a story of perseverance and trust in a covenant-keeping God. Ultimately, it is a story that points us to hope found in the gospel.


Signups for the summer study will open Sunday, May 14, and small groups will start the week of June 11. Groups will meet varying days both in person and on Zoom.


If you would like to study Nehemiah but your summer schedule is too full, there will be one spring group led by Lindsey Burris meeting from April 26 to June 7 on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. Space is limited! Learn more and register now.


Activate

Starts this Sunday

Do you want to live with purpose? Do you desire to serve God through who you are and all you do? Activate may be the next step for you! Join us on this four week journey as we better understand our temperaments, spiritual gifts, and past experiences, all under the umbrella of God’s Word. This round will be co-taught by Heather Smith and Dan McPherson.

Are you wondering where your Bible went?

How about your favorite mug or jacket?

There’s a chance it has landed in our lost and found!

Stop by the lost and found table in the Lower Atrium starting this Sunday to see if anything is yours. Unclaimed items will be donated or discarded on April 24.

Beginning April 24, we will donate or discard items in the lost and found after 90 days. Thanks for helping us keep our building tidy!
