Merea is a women’s mentoring ministry where older women meet monthly for two years with younger women in a group setting. Through sharing our lives and testimonies, teaching life skills, and studying Titus 2, older women help younger women grow in their faith while encouraging growth in grace and in spiritual disciplines. Each group is comprised of six to eight young women and six mentors. The gatherings include practical encouragement to manage our homes, practice hospitality and steward God’s gifts and skills. Younger women appreciate the friendship and wisdom of the mentors and enjoy getting to know other young women in the small group. If you are interested in joining a Merea group, which is usually women in their 20s and 30s, please contact Dotsie Corwin at dotsiecor@gmail.com. |

The Lord’s Prayer
by Kevin DeYoung
In The Lord’s Prayer, our Senior Pastor Kevin DeYoung closely examines Christ’s model for prayer, giving readers a deeper understanding of its content and meaning, and how it works in the lives of God’s people. Walking through the Lord’s Prayer word by word, Pastor Kevin helps believers gain the conviction to develop a stronger prayer life and a sense of
freedom to do so.
