Sunday Morning Bible Study
New Series Begins This Sunday!
|
Now that we've wrapped up our year-long walk through the Big Story of Scripture with Foundations, our next Sunday Morning Bible Study series will be about how we, as followers of the Way of Jesus, are called to be set apart, different, weird, odd, and out of step with the world. We're excited to share more this Sunday during SMBS!

Student Growth Groups
First Meeting This Wednesday, January 8 | 7 pm
|
Student growth groups are back for the Spring semester! This semester all four groups will meet in the Student Ministry Area each Wednesday evening, 7-8 pm. This Wednesday, January 8, we'll have our initial meeting to distribute details for this semester and catch up on each other's lives after the break.
Remember, Growth Groups are Mountain Brook Baptist Church's weekly small groups designed to help us dive deeper into relational discipleship. We do this by reading & memorizing scripture and being in community with one another. We ask for those choosing to be in Student Growth Groups to commit to presence, preparation, and participation - these expectations are always deeply seasoned with grace.
If you didn't get a chance to read my thoughts about the Growth Group model back in the Fall, I'd encourage you to
check it out here.
I'm always available to answer any questions you may have. I hope to see many of you this Wednesday evening!

Mrs. Jo Wills had surgery this morning. The double mastectomy was successful and all the lymph nodes were clear. She is expecting to go home later this week. Knowing many of our students had Mrs. Jo as a Sunday School teacher when they were younger, I wanted to make sure you all had this update. Also, there's a "Take Them A Meal" set up for her in the coming days. If your family is interested in participating,
you can sign up online here.
l'm sure Mrs. Jo would appreciate encouraging notes as she recovers.

Project 119 Bible Reading Plan
As we've wrapped up Foundations and press into 2020, perhaps you're interested in investing more time in daily Bible reading this year. While there are many great tools for this (some of which I've shared before like
Common Prayer,
D365,
With God Daily
), I want to make sure you are aware MBBC offers a Bible Reading Plan called Project 119.
If you would like to read scripture along with your church family, the five day per week plan guiding you through a passage of scripture and a daily psalm is available for you to follow at
mbbc.org/project119.

Make sure you stay connected with MBBC Students
to keep up-to-date on everything that's happening!
