Don't Mom Alone Monthly Saturdays 6:30pm No Limit Do you feel like you’re drowning? Do you wonder if the challenges you face are normal?

Get Used to Different Tuesdays New Franklin Limit: 14 people This group will be watching THE CHOSEN (season 3) and discussing the biblical verses, personalities and insights that are portrayed in each episode. If you’ve watched the series, you already know how powerful it can be in deepening your faith. If you haven’t, prepare for an amazing experience! The Chosen is the first-ever multi-season TV show about the life of Jesus. Created outside of the Hollywood system, The Chosen allows us to see Him through the eyes of those who knew him. No matter where you are at in your journey with Jesus Christ, this TV show is for you. Each week we will eat dinner together while watching an episode, then follow up with a discussion of what we’ve seen. We’ll dive into the scriptures that the episode was based on, we’ll dig into the characters that were involved in the episode, and we’ll discuss how our faith is impacted by what we’ve seen.
