Brief Description of the Sept.-Dec. ’21 Groups

Women’s Ministry Group:

· Ruth: Experiencing a Life Restored Led by Deb Hubbard

The subject of restoration & hope will be explored in this 6 week study as we walk verse by verse through Ruth using “Revive Our Hearts” material. Ruth’ story is about how God can turn tragedy into joy, no matter how desperate our circumstances may seem.

Men’s Ministry Groups:

· 1 Samuel: The Man Who Would’ve Been King Led by James McPherson

Jonathan showed true commitment to God above all else. He gave up his crown, his service and his life to God. The outcome didn’t matter, keeping the faith did!

· Rise of the Servant Kings by Ken Harrison Led by Verlan Van Wyk

This study would be a great follow-up to any man who has ever been to a Promise Keeper’s event; but is open to all men. We’ll unpack what the Bible says about being a man.

· The Gospel of John Men’s Discussion Group Led by Milton & Terry

· “Shepherds in Training” Led by Pastor Steve

This men’s leadership group is designed to build up our men in their faith and leadership potential in their homes, work places, and churches. It will provide fellowship, growth, support and encouragement around issues of leadership and issues guys face daily.

Community Groups:

· Colossians: Young Families/Young Adults Led by Pastor Scoggan

Christ, the head of the church, is the theme of Colossians. He is the center of the circle around which all Christian living revolves. There is always the danger of Christianity freezing into a form, into a ritual with all the philosophies surrounding us. Bring your Bible and come join us as we explore this relevant book.

· The Mission Table, Season 1 Led by Andy Abrams

A short video conversation led by prominent Mission thinkers will help us tackle critical and controversial topics impacting missions today. Be prepared to reason, think, and dig deep into the Scriptures to ask important questions and discuss our role in reaching the nations with the Gospel. Join us in our home for tea, coffee and good fellowship!

· Developing & Living Healthy Boundaries Led by Pastor Steve & Debbie

Do you feel at times your life is out of control and stressful? This study can help. We will read, discuss, & implement the biblical concepts from Cloud & Townsend’s best-selling book, Boundaries: When to say Yes & How to say No to Take Control of your Life.

· Pray Big by Allistair Begg Book Study Led by Milton & Deb Hubbard

Do you struggle with prayer? This book examines Paul’s prayers for the Ephesian church detailing how ordinary Christians can pray like an apostle-why pray and what to say. You too will learn how to “Pray Big” and even enjoy praying.
