Mid-week Bible Study
Wednesdays, 9:30-11:00 AM
Room C/D
Bring your favorite Bible and delve into the Book of Exodus. The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible and a key part of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament. It tells the story of the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt and their journey to Mount Sinai, where they entered into a covenant with God.
The Book of Exodus, a foundational text, offers profound insights into the relationship between God and the Israelites. It brings to light themes of redemption, covenant, and God’s presence, which we will explore in our study.

Saturday Morning Women’s Bible Study 9:00-10:30 AM
Room C/D
| |
This transforming six-week study will help people discover an alternative to the roller-coaster experience they may have settled for in their relationship with God. As they consider who the Holy Spirit is, what He’s up to, and how they can experience His power, they will become increasingly aware of God’s presence in their everyday lives. Helpful applications and open-ended questions about the Bible’s primary passages on the Holy Spirit make this an engaging and life-changing study.

Dr. Bill Creasy
The Man, Jesus
Saturday, October 19
10:00 AM-Noon
in the Sanctuary
In John's gospel, we read that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . . . and the Word became flesh and lived among us." Jesus was God enfleshed. But Jesus walked among us as a human being, just as we are. In this presentation, Dr. Creasy will investigate Jesus' humanity. Like all of us, Jesus had to learn what it was to be human; he had to experience doubt and confusion and fear; he had to learn who he was and what he was to do; and he had to struggle with anxiety, doubt, and gut-wrenching fear, just as we all must do. That is what it means to be human. That is what it means to become one of us. We often overlook this and focus only on Jesus' divinity. In our time together, Dr. C's presentation will explore "the man, Jesus," in all of his humanity. The cost is $15.00 per person, which includes a light lunch.
Sign up THIS Sunday, on the patio
or in the Chruch Office during the week
Office hours are Monday - Thursday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM,
(we are closed from Noon - 1:00 PM for lunch)
Friday 9:00 AM - Noon.
