Tuesday Prayer Group
This prayer group is open to ALL! Mason Buckingham and Pastor Paul leads a prayer group which meets weekly, every Tuesday at 12:15pm in Narthex (the hallway next to the Sanctuary).
The purpose of this group is to gather at the church to lift the needs and concerns that people have. We invite you to come and fellowship with us. When we gather, we certainly pray for each other and the needs within our church family, but we also pray for those who have experienced disasters, conflicts around the world, and for leaders within the church and in our world.
Respect for each other is a core understanding with-in the group.
We do not require that any person within the group must pray aloud. Their presence among us is enough to encourage us in an attitude of prayer. It is open to all who wish to attend. Join Mason, Pastor Paul and others Wednesdays - an exciting opportunity to serve Christ and your church family!
"Cold Case Christianity" Study Group
Facilitated by Lanae Shields, this group meets every Monday from 5:30pm-6:45pm in Room 109.
The group will be studying "Cold-Case Christianity" by J. Warner Wallace. Learn from a cold-case detective how to investigate the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament Gospels and the truth of the resurrection.
We will use a video, book, and study guide to aid us. By Christmas, we should have picked up enough skills and gained the ability to follow the evidence left for us in the Bible. It was enough to turn an atheistic cold-case homicide detective into a believer. What will it do for you?
Digging Deeper
Facilitated by Bill Jordan, this group meets Wednesdays from 10:00am-11:30am.
They will continue moving through the New Testament using a more in-depth study method. The group is currently working through 2 John.
