Women’s Bible Study

Tuesdays at 2:30pm starting September 12th

We will be studying the book of Romans accompanied by a guide written by Max Lucado. Max takes us deeply into the Word and explores the vital themes of Romans: Jesus is the Way; God has provided the sacrifice for the relationship; faith is the requirement; forgiveness is available for anyone accepting Christ's sacrifice. The early church made many wrong turns; Paul stresses the one solution to all the wrong choices, Jesus Christ.

Contact Delores Young, 419-878-8238 with questions. There is a sign up sheet on the Welcome Table in the Gathering space if you'd like to join.

M&Ms Bible Study

Wednesdays at 9:30am starting September 13th



We welcome you as we study Psalm 119. In the 10 week video series, Matt Chandler introduces us to the words of King David, who experienced some seasons in life in which God seemed distant. Have you ever asked: Where is God in the middle of this?  

Psalm 119 demonstrates the power of God's word in the lives of believers and its ability to provide a warm blanket for the soul.

If you would like to join us or have any questions, please contact Cindy Box (419) 344-4471 or Karen Wiggins (419) 350-1211. There is also a sign up sheet on the Welcome Table in the Gathering space.
