Advent Study

by

Our Advent Study will be offered on two separate days this year, beginning…

Sunday, November 26, 11:15 AM in Room 9
and
Wednesday, November 28, 7:00 PM in Room 8/9

From his beginnings as a humble carpenter to his all-important role as the earthly father of Jesus Christ, Joseph’s place in the nativity story is sometimes overlooked, but contains valuable lessons for all of us. Join Adam Hamilton as he examines Christmas through the eyes of Joseph.

Absent from much of the biblical narrative, Joseph never spoke a word, but his courageous actions were crucial to the birth of Christ and God’s salvation plan for humanity. As you read this book, you will understand how Joseph’s story is much like our own. In life, we encounter circumstances that we would never have chosen for ourselves. At times it can be tempting just to walk away. Joseph provides us a great example of humbly obeying God even when we don’t understand and faithfully moving forward in the strength that God provides.

We hope you can join us. Books will be available soon for $15 in the church office or you can purchase them wherever you buy books.

Stepping on Cheerios

by

Moms’ Book Group

Thursdays – 12:30 – 1:30

September 21 to October 26

In The Cove (just right of the fountain in the courtyard) Join Us!

Being a mother isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s hard to experience a personal connection with God and community when you are caught up in the chaos of just “doing family”. 

Independent and self-sufficient, author Betsy Singleton Snyder lived a full and busy life as a pastor, missionary, and wife to a husband who served in the U.S. House of Representatives. She had her first child at age 44, then at 47, she found out she was carrying triplets. Suddenly finding herself overwhelmed is an understatement.

Stepping on Cheerios is a collection of funny, warm, and charming tales from the frontlines of parenthood, written for women who are juggling to accomplish everyday feats of work,

motherhood, marriage, church, and more. It’s a comical story of one woman’s realization that her crazy life is a gift and how she found the grace in it.

We have a few copies of the book in the church office  available for $12 . 

The book is also available at Amazon in book format or an eBook. 

If you have a child in our preschool, you can enroll your child in the Stay & Play for half price,  $10 per session.

Please contact Leyla in the Preschool office if you have any question regarding this group.
