Essentials of Discipline Life Group Leaders: Jason & Angela Boynton Description: Parenthood is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences most of us will ever have! But in the middle of busy days, runny noses and carpooling, we sometimes forget to enjoy the journey. Focus on the Family’s "Your Child" Essentials of Discipline DVD teaching series will help with answers, insight, and solutions to one of the biggest challenges every parent encounters: discipline. Materials: Participant Study Guide; $10 Childcare: Available for up to 6 children (paid by participant donations)
Freedom in Christ Life Group Leader: Erin Mainey Description: Have you struggled with a particular behavior, habit, or addiction that adversely impacts your relationship with the Lord? If you are ready to step out of those old life patterns then join this group. We will find freedom together in Christ as we join hands, hearts, and spirits to walk in the “life of the living” that God makes available. Materials: The Bondage Breaker, by Neil T. Anderson (purchase at christianbook.com) Childcare: Available (paid by participant donations)
Kingdom Living Life Group Leader: Rose Powers Description: This group engages in worship and prayer for the purpose of releasing God’s power in their lives and through them into the lives of others. Come with expectancy and a desire to soak in God’s presence. Open to men and women. Materials: None Childcare: None
Women’s Daytime Life Group Leader: Frances Koch Description: This women’s group will utilize Beth Moore’s DVD-based study on the life of Esther. Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. Her story of courage contains many modern parallels for today’s woman. We’ll use the DVD’s as a basis for discussion, prayer, and fellowship. Materials: Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman – Member Book; $16 Childcare: Available by request
Isaiah Bible Study Life Group Leader: Marcia Dolan Description: The prophet Isaiah lived through troubled times. As an advisor to kings, he challenged leaders to trust God in the face of political and military upheaval, social depravity, and religious hypocrisy. Although written centuries ago, Isaiah’s words continue to challenge God’s people to live a life of radical, personal trust in God. It is our privilege to read Isaiah’s words, to be still, to observe, to receive, to meditate, and to join in life-building, invigorating discussion in order that we might learn how utterly trustworthy our God is. Materials: Study Guide: Isaiah – Trusting God in Troubled Times; $6.50 Childcare: Available by request
Dreams & Their Interpretation Life Group Leaders: Ed & Marty Harris Description: Throughout the bible we find instances of God speaking through dreams – and he still does so today. Using material developed by John Paul Jackson and the bible as our guide, we will take a look at the nature of dreams. We will seek to understand how God uniquely communicates to individuals through dreams and their interpretation. We will allow time for participants to share dreams and seek to understand them together. Materials: None Childcare: None
Guitar Players Life Group Leader: Jill Jago Description: This group will be an opportunity for guitar players (ages 15 and up) of any level to come together to learn songs, sharpen their skills, and worship together. Our goal will be to play / learn 2-3 songs each week. We will listen to a recording of the songs, go over the chords, and then work on strums and rhythm. Participants should be familiar with at least six chords and have learned a simple strum rhythm. Materials: Your own guitar Childcare: None
Star Trek / Nooma DVD Life Group Leaders: John & Kathy Ensworth Description: This group is not just for “Trekkies” but for all who are interested in consistently applying their faith to issues facing our culture. Each week we will watch an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and a Nooma DVD. These videos will have a related life theme. We will use the videos as a springboard into a discussion of how to apply that theme in our Christian walk. Materials: None Childcare: Not available – children are welcome to join with us
