Practicing the Way (SoS)
Do you find yourself with too much to do and not enough time with which to do it? This summer, we invite you to join our Practicing the Way-Sandhills on Sunday group as we study John Mark Comer’s inspirational book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Even in today’s digitally distracted pace, we can “choose” to take up Jesus’s easy yoke. This book is meant to help you do just that. We meet the first and third Sundays of each month at 5:00 in the Conference Room. Contact Julie Poplin for more information.
Practicing the Way
Practicing the Way is a ministry of discipleship to Jesus, guiding us toward being formed into the people He created us to become. We focus on ancient disciplines which Jesus himself practiced and taught his disciples to follow. We will continue the “Witness” practice (“A community of hospitality in a culture of hostility”) on June 2nd and June 16th in Chapel Hall at 4:30 p.m. All are welcome. Please email Bonnie Jo Wurzbacher for more information.
9:30 Adult Sunday School Class
Is taking a break for the summer and will return this fall on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in the Conference Room. Contact Jan & Gary Mullis for more information.
The Truth Project
There is a battle in the world today for truth…how to define it and arguments about whether truth even exists. Join Pastor Trey and Ken Dickson as they lead this exciting study. They use a curriculum from Focus On The Family to discover the truth, which is found only in God. The class meets the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 5:00 p.m. in Chapel Hall. If you would like more information, please contact Pastor Trey.
