Thy word is a lamp unto my feet... I will study the way that is blameless. When shall I attain it? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house. Psalm 101:2
Do something kind for yourself this year: work on your Spirit, work on your heart, and all else will follow!

The Bible’s YES to Same-Sex Marriage
Join us on June 4th at 6:00 pm in the Simpson Room. In light of Pride Month, we will study a book called “The Bible’s YES to Same-Sex Marriage” by Mark Achtemeier. It will be a 4-week study ending on June 25th. The book is a bit on the pricier side. Please let me know if you need help getting it, and it will be cared for.
Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
Beginning June 17th at 6:00 pm in the Simpson Room, the Nominations and Lay Leadership Development Committee will be leading a course called Emotionally Healthy Discipleship by Peter Scazzero. The book can be purchased on many different sites, including on Amazon and Christianbooks.com. A study guide will be provided to those who join the class. This course is designed to help us go deeper and more authentically into our own discipleship journeys. It really challenges our sense of spiritual maturity and helps us grow in our faith. This course is born out of a commitment to the Lay Leadership Development portion of the committee previously mentioned. It is our hope to help develop and identify Christian leaders in the life of our church. Whether you believe that is you or not, EVERYONE is invited to be a part of this course and work intentionally on the growth of their discipleship. Please see Pastor Hannah if you have any questions.
Christ is Counting on You
Sunday mornings, 10:00 am
Meets in the church library
We read daily devotions and associated Bible passages and discuss meaning, related experiences, and offer each other support for doing differently or better with Jesus as our guide. Sometimes, though, if a group member has had a particularly trying week or a peculiar experience, we deviate from the norm and talk and pray about that issue. We’re an assortment of differences, cultures, races, ages, and gender, and we welcome yours.
