Mom2Mom: Monday, February 1 | 7-8 p.m. | Narthex Join Mom2Mom for a Mom’s Night Out book discussion on Glory in the Ordinary by Courtney Reissig (books provided). In February we’ll discuss chapter five on the topic of living in community. Even if you haven’t read the book, this is a conversation you can easily jump into. We’d love to have you join us! Monthly Gathering: Saturday, February 13 | 9-10 a.m. • What disciplines or practices promote growth in your relationship with Christ? We’re using Donald Whitney’s book, Spiritual Practices for the Christian Life, as a resource for our discussions this year and would highly recommend it if you’re looking to better understand spiritual disciplines. On February 13, we’ll be discussing the spiritual practices that shape the follower of Christ by looking at the spiritual discipline of prayer. We hope to meet in person but will shift to a virtual format if necessary.
