Take a quick look at our upcoming events/activites below:
We are excited to begin 2015 with some great group studies! The Alpha Parenting class begins Wednesday night January 14th at 6:30. With all the new babies born recently and how Kids Cor is growing we thought this would be a practical and inspiring class to offer. If you’re a parent, care giver or soon to be parent of children 0-10 this will be a invaluable resource and place of support for you. Another class is the Covenant bible study beginning January 28th at 6:30. Both of these classes begin with a shared meal and have childcare available upon request. Find out more below in this enote.
This Sunday we continue the sermon series "Half Truths" examining commonly held beliefs, and expressions that Christians often say but which are only half true at best. Last week's sermon title is "Everything Happens for a Reason?" helped us understand God’s ways in light of tragedy and suffering. This week the sermon is “God helps those who help themselves”. I’m really looking forward to this and encourage you to invite someone here’s the video promo to invite your friends to join us or post it on your Facebook page. It's only 60 seconds - take a look: Half-Truths Promo.

Girl’s Night Out Bible Study Do you find yourself trying to figure out when to say yes and when to say no, thinking about how to manage your time, reduce stress, do your best for your family and still find a little time for yourself? This 6-session study of Lysa TerKeurst’s The Best Yes presents usable strategies for making wise decisions. Learn ways to cure the disease to please with a biblical understanding of the command to love, to escape the guilt of disappointing others by learning the secret of the small no, to overcome the agony of hard choices through a wisdom based decision-making process, and to rise above the rush of endless demands to discover your best yes.
