Evening
Men's Group (Men's Christian Fellowship)
All of our regularly
attending men look forward to each meeting, which is always conducted in a totally
relaxed, casual, non-threatening environment; there is absolutely no requirement
for prior Bible study experience or knowledge. We also provide help and support
to each other in a Christian format whenever needed, and have all become valued
friends.
"I look forward to every meeting of the Men's Bible
Study group. You couldn't find a more caring and supportive group of men interacting
in a relaxed, spiritual setting," says member John Anthony. "When I was diagnosed
with prostate cancer, these men joined my journey and provided me the comfort
and support that I needed. I will forever be grateful."
Current
Study: Philip Yancey's book: The Jesus I Never Knew
Leaders: Dick Depkin
& John Anthony
This group meets the 2nd & 4th Monday of the month at
7 p.m. in Room 208.
Peacemaker
Bible Study Groups
These studies combine short video presentations
by Ken Sande of Peacemaker Ministries with discussion questions to guide participants
through a process of restoring relationships. Learn how to overcome deadlocks
resulting from flight or fight responses that often occur when there is conflict.
Peacemaking can help us turn conflicts into opportunities to bear witness to God
and serve others.
