Many people who lose a spouse, child, family member, or friend find that there aren’t many people who understand the deep hurt they feel. GriefShare is a program that was developed specifically to help those who are grieving the death of a loved one. It is a friendly and caring group of people who walk alongside one another through one of life’s most profound experiences. No one needs to travel the grief journey alone. GriefShare meets weekly to help individuals face the challenges of the grieving process and enables them to move forward by rebuilding their lives. It is a Christ-centered program with direction and purpose. It helps individuals learn how to walk through their unique grief journey through the support they receive along the way. GriefShare is a place where hurting people find hope and healing. Questions?

Jesus rescued us from a life of selfishness, disappointment, and worthlessness. He made us saints and gave us a race to run day by day. It is a race of great joy and great challenges. Why do we run the race? How do we get our spiritual bodies in shape? How do we stay on track? How do we win the race? This 6-week class is intended to make your faith stronger, your calling clearer, and your Godly passion on fire! There are several sessions available. See the listing above. Contact Penny at 630.879.7163 or church@immanuelbatavia.org with questions.

Mindfulness is being aware of our thoughts. In this study we will learn how to be more mindfully aware in our everyday lives. We'll explore what that means for us in our walk with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. There are no prerequisites, just come as you are. Contact Amy Glinke at 630.842.8732 or aglinke@sbcglobal.net with questions.

Join us for a Bible Study as we move more deeply into our relationship with God. Led by Mark Carroll and based on Blackaby's Experiencing God, we will go further in our relationship with God to learn to observe God-sightings, see our current life from a new lens, and develop relational skills toward transformation. Contact Penny at 630.879.7163 or church@immanuelbatavia.org with questions.
