Class News
  • Thanks Jeremy, for a wonderful lesson this morning. We certainly had some great conversations and insights to what was being taught! The title of next week's lesson is Galatia: Facing Troubles. The background passage for next week is Acts 15:1-35. The lesson passages for next week are Acts 15:1-2, 6-15, 22-23a, 27-28.
  • What a wonderful and encouraging lunch we had in the Fellowship Hall today! Thanks to everyone who prepared food and came to enjoy fellowship with each other and our guests!
  • Ladies, I want to put this on your radar... I would love for our LJG to have a women's Bible Study. What do you think? Be praying and thinking about teaching, facilitating, hosting, finding a theme or book in the Bible to study, etc. Let me know your thoughts and ideas!
  • There is an empty spot for breakfast next week, July 20th, if you would like to bring it let Matt or Melissa know!
  • August 10: Mark this date on your calendar! Our LJG will host a shower/lunch/social for Nathan and Ashlee Wallace. The adoption of RJ is getting closer and we will help prepare the Wallace house to bring RJ home. More details (time, place, etc.) are forthcoming! A list of wants and needs will be compiled to give everyone an idea of what to get for RJ! This event will be for couples (yes guys, that's you too!) in our LJG, the Walking Together LJG and any friends/family of Nathan and Ashlee.
