"Getting Connected" Small Group Study

During the year you are invited to try an experiment of faith that will ask you to:

• Make Sunday Worship a priority in your life.
• Sit quietly for 30 minutes each day to read, pray, meditate and write. (A devotional guide will be available).
• Intentionally do one daily unexpected, unselfish deed.
• Meet weekly with a group of fellow "experimenters" at a set time for at least one hour to study, share and pray together.

Suggestions for Small Group Study

It’s Personal – Video Series
"You don’t have to understand everything to believe in something."

This powerful series is directed to men and women who desire a personal connection with God, but who have genuine questions, doubts, and concerns. In his creative and casual style, Andy Stanley makes a case for the fact that adults don’t become followers of Christ by getting all their questions answered. In most instances, something happens that shrinks those questions. And that something is always personal.

If there are obstacles that make it difficult for you to embrace the message of Jesus or if circumstances have derailed your confidence in God, you may walk away with the feeling that his series was designed specifically for you.

Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith – Video Series

Imagine how different your outlook on life would be if you had absolute confidence that God was with you. Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. In other words, imagine what it would be like to have PERFECT faith.

In this DVD study, Andy Stanley builds a biblical case for five things God uses to grow BIG faith.

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver

The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord's feet...but the daily demands of a busy world just won't leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him...yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.
Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life – and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part" – a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "loving service" for him.
WIth her fresh approach to the familiar bible story, Joanna Weaver shows how all of us, Marys and Marthas alike, can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.

This book is also available for purchase at the church office. $12.
