Over these 8 weeks we will discover how all of the Bible unfolds to tell one story.

​We will meet in the Student Connection room from 6a-7a on Monday mornings beginning September 12th.

“So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind.”
– 1 Thess. 5:11 MSG

Do you feel like you’re drowning? Do you wonder if the challenges you face are normal? Do you feel the constant pressure to be the ‘perfect’ wife and mom? You’re not alone. Whether you are in the midst of changing little ones diapers or about to send your child off to college or just need fellow mom friends, this is for you! 

Join us once a month, as a group we will be assigned to listen to an episode on the “Don’t Mom alone” podcast prior to our meeting and then gather together to do discussion questions after.  

Our mission is to connect other moms who are looking for community, friendship and a place to “check in” with one another. We will fellowship, encourage and pray with one another at each of our gatherings.

​Limit: 30 ladies

TURN UP THE HEAT!
Do you desperately want a life that has purpose, passion, spark and meaning, but most days you feel caught up in the whirlpool of life? After a week of trips to the store, pick up at the pharmacy and drop-offs here and there, do you barely have energy to change the sheets, much less change the world?
​
If you're tired of being pulled into a swirling, lukewarm routine of like that keeps you from experiencing God's best, this Bible study is for you! Pull up a chair and join the group in studying the early church of Laodicea. Through video, discussion, and memory verses, Cindy Bultema shows you how to turn up the heat, fuel the fire of your faith, and strengthen your relationship with God.
​
Tuesday, 9/20 through Tuesday 12/13/22

Tara Hubbard
Parents Rising
Fridays 10am New Franklin

Do you feel like you're fighting a losing battle? Against the culture, against the busyness, sometimes even against your spouse and kids... Often it seems like everything is against you as a parent, and your everyday life can feel far from joy-filled. But it doesn't need to be that way. Parents Rising will show you eight cultural trends that parents are up against today and what you can do to claim victory. 

​Join Tara Hubbard in her home on Friday mornings at 10am to engage in some great discussion and to walk alongside others parents hoping to raise kids who honor God and who can discern the truth in a lie-filled world.

Knowing God
Online/Facebook
​No Limit

Knowing God brings together two important facets of the Christian faith― knowing about God and also knowing God through the context of a close relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to transform and enrich the Christian understanding of God. Explaining both who God is and how we can relate to him, Packer divides his book into three sections: The first directs our attention to how and why we know God, the second to the attributes of God and the third to the benefits enjoyed by a those who know him intimately. This guide leads readers into a greater understanding of God while providing advice to gaining a closer relationship with him as a result.

This study will be done virtually in a private Facebook group.  Questions will be posted each week to encourage discussion about the content.  Group members can log in and interact when it is convenient for them throughout the week.
