We are all on a spiritual journey. We
never arrive at a perfect relationship with God here on earth;
therefore, we strongly encourage all adults in our church to find the
best ways to keep growing in their relationship with God. Here
are several ways our church offers to help adults grow. For more
information on any of these programs, please call the church office at
399-1684.
Small Groups
Most of our small groups meet on Sundays at
least once per month, September through May, in group member's
homes. Our groups of 8 to 12 adults meet together to support each
other in our desire to grow spiritually, to grow closer to God and to
become more like Jesus. We understand that in order to accomplish
these desires we must practice the disciplines of the Christian life
such as prayer, Bible reading, commitment, faith, obedience, love, and
witnessing. In our small groups we try to help each other to
understand and practice the Christian life supported by a group of
people who are attempting to become what God wants them to be.
Although Bible study is a very important part
of small groups, our groups are more than that. We also try to
build meaningful relationships, closeness, and trust among group
members. We share the joys, trials, and realities of life, pray
with and for each other, and minister to one another, as well as have
wonderful fellowship, good food, and fun together.
Gathering Basket Bible
Study
This Bible study for women meets the 2nd and
4th Wednesdays of each month at 10:00 A.M. Grandmas, single women,
young mothers, soccer moms, and empty nesters are all invited. We do
intensive study of books of the Bible. Please join us.
Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle is a Bible study and
fellowship group for women of all ages. We meet the second Tuesday of
each month, September through May, at 7:30 P.M. in the church basement.
We begin our meetings with a time of Bible study on topics pertinent to
women. At the close of our study, we share prayer requests and then
spend time in prayer for each other. Following is a brief "business"
meeting at which we discuss events we are organizing (such as soup
suppers) to raise money for a project at church. We also have
refreshments during this time, which the women take turns providing.
During all the parts of our time together, we
share what is going on in our lives in order to get to know each other,
laugh together, encourage one another, and show concern for each other
as sisters in Christ. You are welcome to join us!
Library
Our church library has a variety of books and
other media for all ages. The library is a well used resource at
our church for learning, enjoyment, and growth in the Christian
life. We have children's books and videos that tell about God's
love and teach about Christian values. Books for preteen boys and
girls provide wholesome reading for them. We also have fiction
and non-fiction books for teenagers and adults written by well known
Christian authors. Feel free to come any Sunday before and after
our worship services to browse our library which is located in the
church basement.
