Do you have an interest?...
...and would you like to share your interest with others? We are always looking for new small groups to help gather people together in community. Small groups can be based around a shared interest, a desire to serve the community, or around a bible study. Anyone interested in starting a small group should contact Pastor Josh.
Beginning October 18
Devotional Study - "Where True Love Is"
Thursday Nights - 6:30-8:00 pm - Fellowship Hall
From the author's website: "Where True Love Is offers a 90-day Biblical exploration of God, scripture, the law, gender, sexuality, marriage, and more.
This book is for every LGBTQI+ individual who fears God can’t love them just the way they are, and for those who simply want a devotional which approaches scripture inclusively. It is for every family member who struggles to integrate the reality of their LGBTQI+ loved one with a faithful walk with Christ. It is for every pastor, church, and denomination trying to discern God’s will for this critical issue.
After reading it, you’ll be able to offer a Bible-based defense of the validity of LGBTQI+ Christian faith. More importantly, you’ll encounter the gorgeous, loving complexity of a God who can’t be stuffed into a book-sized box."
The study will be lead by Suzanne & Diane DeWitt-Hall, and begins October 18.

LOVE: Inspired by the word "hesed" in scripture, we are called to show love that is compassionate, accepting, full of grace, mercy, forgiveness, and forbearance; love that is authentic and messy, unconditional and vulnerable, and is committed to action."
