Women's Bible Study - Monday Mornings

The Good Life is… THE GOD LIFE! Life is good—even when it doesn’t feel that way. Even when things are broken. Even when we see oppression and sin all around us. Even when the world seems hopelessly lost. Amos is often called a prophet of doom, but his message is so much more. Every word of warning is actually an invitation—an urgent call to “seek God and live” (Amos 5:4). What could be better? Through this study, we’ll discover that the true good life is found in living the God Life—assured, faithful, chosen, humble, just, prayerful, and hopeful. 👉 Join us for an 11-week study through the life of Amos, a humble fig farmer turned prophet. Led by: Kathy Fisher When: Mondays, beginning September 8, from 9:00–11:00 AM Where: 136 Opal Trail NW

3rd-5th Grade Community Group

Top 50 Ordinary People in God’s Extraordinary Plan by Amber Pike is the curriculum we’ll be using in our 3rd-5th grade community group this semester! Each week, we’ll look at a different person from the Bible and see how God used their ordinary lives to do extraordinary things. Through stories, discussion, and fun activities, kids will discover that God can use their lives in amazing ways, too. This study helps kids connect the Bible to their everyday lives, showing them that God’s plan isn’t just for people long ago—it’s for them right now. Parents can feel confident knowing their children will be learning solid truth from God’s Word in a way that’s engaging, memorable, and fun.
