Fellowship Groups

Acts of the Apostles: led by Hayes Howard

We have started our latest study with the last 12 chapters of Acts of the Apostles, starting with Paul’s teaching in Athens, Corinth and Ephesus, followed by his arrest in Jerusalem and through to witnessing in Rome. Our reference materials are ESV Study Bible, ACTS – Teach the Text Commentary Series by David E. Garland, and The Message of ACTS by John R. W. Stott.

We meet on the first floor of the education building next to Matt's office, on the left.

Marriage Study: led by

Peter & Kelly Brustman - Josh & Azin Cooksey

We are exploring the biblical meaning of marriage, focusing on Ephesians 5:18-33, where Paul refers to God’s intent and design for marriage as a “profound mystery”. The Meaning of Marriage by Tim and Kathy Keller will be our primary aid in exploring this mystery.

We meet in the library, upstairs, in the education building.

Showing the Spirit: led by Jay Gray

We are using Showing the Spirit by D.A. Carson

for this study. Books are available in class.

We meet in Matt's office, on the first floor of the education building, all the way down on the left.

Sunday Evening

Youth Group:

Meets Sundays from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Youth Room, upstairs in the education building.

COLLECT

O Lord, you have taught us that without love, all our deeds are worth nothing: Send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the true bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whoever lives is counted dead before you; grant this for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
