Adult, RELATE(ABLE): How God Can Change Our Persepective on Relationships, Led by Brian and Heidi Chaplin in Room #119 (5th Grade Room)
A look at relationships the way God intended them to be.
No one is better at relationships than God. His very being—as one God in three persons—is relationship. And He created us so that we could be in relationship with Him and with each other.
From the moment we're born, relationships shape who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Beginning with how we see ourselves, we develop a view of God and others that impacts the way we relate to our parents, navigate friendships, dating relationships and marriage.
In this six-session study, by Louie Giglio, we’ll look at how God can:
-
Change our perspective on relationships.
-
Give us greater purpose in dating and marriage.
-
Bring us peace in the midst of relational conflict.
-
Help us restore relationships that seem broken beyond repair.
Because God has gone to extraordinary lengths to relate to us, we have the potential to build incredible relationships with one another. Embracing God's love and receiving His grace changes the way we relate to him, our family, our friends, and ourselves.
Adult, A TIME TO LAUGH …OR CRY: An Overview of the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi with Eric Riethmeier, in
Room #203 (6th Grade Room)
What a delight it is to laugh and laugh hard. What a relief it is to cry and cry hard. A Time to Laugh…or Cry overviews the activity of man in the Old Testament - a time to cry because of mankind’s stubbornness and sin and a time to laugh because of God’s reaction to mankind’s sin expressed in the Messiah. The thread of the Messiah is followed throughout. In all lessons, both God and man will laugh and cry.
​
Please join us for this overview of the Old Testament.

Junior Youth Bible Study (Students 5th-7th Grade), LAW AND LIFE (The Gospel Project), with Tom McClelland, in the 8th Grade Room (#207)

​
From freeing Israel from slavery to providing bread from heaven, Yahweh revealed His unmatched power and faithfulness—even when His people grumbled and doubted. And just as God heard their cries, He hears ours. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He delivers us from sin and walks with us every step of the journey, shaping us into His people until we finally reach home.

​WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDIES
Wednesday, 10:00am, Adult, DISCOVERING YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS with Pat Klein, AT PEACE, Gathering Room
God has uniquely gifted every believer for life in His Church and for service in the world. In this Bible study, we will explore what Scripture teaches about spiritual gifts and how the Holy Spirit equips believers to serve according to God’s purpose.
​
Grounded in the truth of God’s Word, this study will examine scripture to understand how the Holy Spirit gives gifts for the building up of the Church. Together we will discuss how these gifts work within the Body of Christ, how they are used in love, and how God calls each of us to live out our vocation in faith.
​
Participants will reflect on their own God-given abilities and opportunities for service, discovering ways to use their gifts to strengthen the congregation, encourage one another, and share Christ’s love with others.
Wednesdays, 6:30pm, Adult, LIFELIGHT: DANIEL, with Pat Longtin, AT PEACE, Room #203 (6th Grade Room)
This study is part of the LifeLight Bible study series of in-depth studies of Bible books. The goal of LifeLight is that through a regular program of in-depth personal and group study of Scripture, more and more Christian adults may grow in their personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Daniel carries the first accounts of an Israelite serving a foreign king since Joseph served Pharaoh in Egypt centuries earlier. Daniel entered the service of Babylonian kings as a boy, but lived long enough to see Babylon fall to the Persians.
Who were these kings Daniel served, who ruled over great empires stretching from modern-day Egypt to modern-day Iran? Join us as we explore the Book of Daniel.

Wednesdays ZOOM, 7:00pm​,
Adult, GENESIS, with Deacon Jim Schurig, ON ZOOM
The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible. It is divided into two main parts, with chapters 1-11 telling the story of God and the whole world, and chapters 12-50 focusing in on the story of God, a man, and his family. These two parts are connected by a sort of "hinge" story in the beginning of chapter 12. This literary design gives us a clue as to how to understand the message of the book as a whole, as well as how the entire story of the Bible comes together.
The Big Idea
Out of disorder and darkness, God creates order, beauty, and goodness. From Genesis 3 onward, humans continue acting selfishly and doing evil, but God remains faithful and refuses to abandon them or His world.

Join us on Wednesdays, via Zoom, to learn more about Genesis!
