BIBLE STUDY OPPORTUNITIES
Java & Jesus
Thursdays, Beginning August 19th, 10-11:30am, Gathering Room

Java & Jesus is a gathering for "busy moms" - and grammas! - who are interested in fellowship and an encouraging Word. We will begin meeting on August 19 with a video series. No outside reading required. Nursery childcare is provided! Please
email Trudy Smith if you have questions, or if you plan to attend with kiddos, so
we have plenty of nursery workers.
Starting Tuesday, August 24th, 10:00-11:30am, Chapel

This study will look at Mark Feldmeir’s book, A House Divided. He explores how a “politics of compassion” can help us identify our common values on some of today’s divisive issues (ie: climate change, racism, immigration), inspire us to explore solutions and heal our divisions. The book ($15) is available at Amazon, Cokesbury, or Chalice Press. This 6-week class will be led by Trudy Smith. Email Trudy Smith for more information about this study group.
Mondays, 7:30am, Chapel
Pastor Joel will be sharing a short devotional with this group. Burritos and coffee will be served. This is an opportunity to meet new people and decompress. The goal is for those not retired, to get back on the road by 8:15, at the latest. Sign-up at the Connection Center each week you plan to attend. A donation of $5 is asked to cover the cost.
