SUMMER BOOK IN COMMON

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Summer is a great time for us to slow down and examine the rhythm of our lives. We will collectively be reading and discussing the book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, by John Mark Comer. This is a thought-provoking and practical study of the rhythm of Jesus’ life and how we, as His apprentices, can put into practice the habits Jesus practiced. This is a great book for you to discuss together in your small group or friend group, or to form a new book group! There will be discussion guides available for all, and Pastor Shannon Coon will be leading a weekly discussion of the book. Stay tuned for more details. Contact adults@sapres.org for details.

SMALL GROUPS

Life is best lived in community. Our small groups ministry exists to help you discover community, learn more about the person of Jesus, and empower one another to participate in the Kingdom work.

We’ll hear from early church leaders like Paul, Peter, John, and Timothy, who helped the first Jesus-followers wonder what made their stories unique, what gifts God gave them (and how they could use those gifts to serve), what they could learn from others, and how they could spend time with God. VBS is for kids in Kindergarten - 5th Grade. VBS Jr. is a special program for our preschool friends. Kids must be three by 7/1/22 to attend. Register now at saprestickets.com.
