Small Groups

AGAPE CLASS (Room 108)
Leaders: Susan Ainsworth and Susan Gray
Study: Faith Connections: A Charge to Keep (July/August)
Focus: We will explore the transforming power of God and discover the way we can experience this same power in our lives today.

BIBLE SEEKERS CLASS (Room 303)
Leaders: Russ & Bev Marsh
Study: An Emmaus Roadtrip thru Hebrews
Focus: On Resurrection Day, two disciples who had walked with Jesus began their day wondering what would happen next. The wonderful man they loved, and upon Who’s every word they hung, was dead and buried in a borrowed tomb. The Sadducees, the Pharisees, and the Romans had brought their world crashing down around them. Now they were scattered and returning home. Jesus had been the center of everything. There was no residual organization to fall back on; there were only teachings and promises that were often confusing when contemplated through eyes and hearts steeped in the Law of Moses and contemporary Jewish religion.
What next?

THE BEREAN CLASS (Room 103)
Leaders:  Becky Bates, Deborah Sykes
Study: Romans—The Christian Story by James Reapsome
Focus:  The book of Romans is widely regarded as one of the most influential writings of all time. The foundational document of Paul's theology, Romans shaped Church history through men like Augustine, Luther, Bunyan, and Wesley--leaders who were profoundly affected by its teachings. It continues to change millions of lives today. Exploring the beloved book of Scripture that preaches life in Christ, exhorts us in our present sufferings, and promises we are "more than conquerors," this study guide will help you understand what you can do to live a distinctly Christian life.

MEN’S BIBLE STUDY AT THE FIREPIT
Leader:  Russ Marsh
Men, gather with us by the firepit (or indoors, if it's too hot or cold outside!) for a time of discussing "Being God's Men."

WOMEN’S CONNECTION GROUP (Room 303)
Leader:  Bev Marsh
Study: Discovering Jesus in Every Book of the Bible
There was an old television show that opened with a shadow profile. You could tell it was a man, a quite rotund man, but that was about all. Suddenly, the man stepped into the camera view and you saw it was Alfred Hitchcock. In some ways the Bible is like that. Jesus can be found in every book of the Bible, but sometimes we do not clearly see Him at first. In this Bible study we will look at every book of the Bible to see the outline and details of the coming Messiah. From the opening verses of Genesis to the closing pages of Revelation, He is letting us come to know Him. It will be our own Road to Emmaus lesson where Jesus, beginning with Moses, taught how all scripture was given to equip us to know who our Messiah was and what He must do.  Join us!
