Even more awesome people like to discuss books. That’s why we have an ongoing Book Club that meets every Thursday at 11 am for 1hr sharp. BYOB - Bring your own book. Email Pastor Matt to learn what we’re discussing this week. Previously, we’ve discussed every genre and topic from fiction to self-help to theology to nonfiction to biographies because there are too many good reads to stay in one genre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d28f8bc027d8cab9dc769b/1609787340372-L2ICKUHWHX5T0GX030A9/image-asset.jpeg Ministries - Bible Study Pour yourself some coffee or make some tea, and start your week in the Word! Each Monday at 9:30am. we open the Bible and read it together for a fresh start to our week. This is a drop-in, ongoing Bible Study that will eventually read and ponder every word in the good book. Although the pace is known to be slow, this just means you can come when you can, or come every week, and you’ll find exactly what you need. Our prayer each Monday morning is: May your Word be our guide, your Spirit our teacher, and the glory of Jesus our greatest concern. Join us in our sanctuary in person or on Zoom. You can reach out to Pastor Matt for more info. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d28f8bc027d8cab9dc769b/27918d48-4575-4fe1-9a8d-b362475b9e34/unsplash-image-0F4duBPWlCw.jpg Ministries - Alzheimer’s Support Group The Alzheimer’s Association hosts a support group for caregivers who have loved ones struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease.
