old small group opportunities

COME JOIN US at 10:00 am on Sunday. This is the perfect time for new people to try out a new class!!

#1 – DiGGing Deeper (Wesley Room) Beginning March 8th at 10:00am, DIGGing Deeper’s Lenten Study is the book “The Daniel Dilemma: How to Stand Firm and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise” by New York Times best selling author Chris Hodges. Christians today wrestle with their stance on contemporary issues including politics, gender identity, and marriage. How can we love those with significantly different attitudes and lifestyles without compromising our beliefs? Exploring the Book of Daniel for timely answers, Hodges reveals how to keep God's standards high and his grace deep---just as Daniel and Jesus did. You are invited to join us as we meet Sunday morning.

#2 - Women at the Well Discussion Class (Library) We are starting a NEW Lenten discussion series in March, “Jesus’ Final Words on Earth”. Women at the Well is a very informal women’s discussion group, meeting in the Library, 10:00am to 10:50am on Sunday mornings. Bring your coffee or tea and drop in any time for some fun, fellowship, and good discussion. Any and all women are invited to attend. We hope to see you there!
