Hermeneutics, which is all about studying and interpreting the Bible, is our topic of discussion in Men’s Bible Study.

Women’s Ministries

Mom2Mom (Monday, May 3 | 7-8 p.m. | Fireside Room)

Join us as we discuss together the final chapter of Glory in the Ordinary by Courtney Reissig. We’ll review themes we’ve covered this year and consider together how to reflect God more fully in our parenting.

Monthly Gathering, Saturday, April 10 | 9:00-10:30 a.m. | Commons Hall

Women, join us Saturday morning (in person or by Zoom) for our Monthly Gathering discussion on the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude. This year we’ve been looking at spiritual practices that shape the follower of Christ – Bible intake, prayer, worship and fasting, and now—silence and solitude. We’ll enjoy a short teaching time on this, then roundtable discussions as we seek to consider together how to lean into this spiritual discipline. Next Women’s Monthly Gathering will be Saturday, May 1.

Women’s Conference (May 14 & 15)

Join us at College Church Friday night, May 14, for a session of worship, teaching and testimony. Plan to stay afterward for fellowship. Weather permitting, we’ll be outside on the patio. Then, come back Saturday morning for more time together in God’s Word and worship. We hope you’ll stay for a catered lunch on Saturday to wrap up our time together (lunch is optional). Due to COVID restrictions, we have limited spots available so be sure to register today to reserve your place.
