In 2 Corinthians 1:24\, the apostle Paul writes\, “We work with you for your joy.” Throughout the Bible\, we see that joy in God is not optional or superficial. It is deeply connected to spiritual health\, worship\, and genuine faith in Jesus Christ. \nKnowledge of God’s Word is essential. But if that knowledge is not leading us toward deeper love for Christ\, greater delight in Him\, and fuller joy in Him\, we should stop and ask why. Psalm 16:11 says\, “In your presence is fullness of joy\,” and Jesus Himself says in John 15:11\, “that my joy may be in you\, and that your joy may be full.” \nThis summer\, we will walk through a video series led by Pastor John Piper\, focusing on what it means to fight for joy in Christ in everyday life. Each week will include coffee and donuts\, meaningful fellowship\, and Bible centered teaching and discussion designed to help us see how our affections reveal what we truly worship and why lasting joy is only found in Jesus. \nThis Community Group will meet (room 115) Sundays from 9:00–9:45 AM\, June 7 through July 26. Come ready to be encouraged\, challenged\, and refreshed as we learn to fight for joy in Christ together. \nLimited childcare is available (for 3 yrs potty-trained to 4th grade) and must be registered. \n[/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”basic” heading_tag=”p” link_type=”new_tab” button_color=”accent-color” text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_thickness=”0px” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”inline” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” icon_family=”none” link_text=”Register for Childcare” url=”https://graceefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/339/responses/new” padding_top=”8px” padding_bottom=”8″ padding_left=”8″ padding_right=”8″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Abide in my love… These things I have spoken to you\, that my joy may be in you\, and that your joy may be full.” -John 15:9-11 \nJoin us for a young adult retreat centered on one simple but life shaping theme: Enjoying Jesus. In a world that constantly competes for our attention and affections\, we want to slow down and fix our gaze on the beauty and sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Through Scripture\, worship\, and time together\, our prayer is that our hearts would be stirred afresh with love for Him. As we spend time with him\, we are asking the Holy Spirit to awaken a deeper delight in who Jesus is and what he has done. Come with spiritual hunger and expectation\, ready to see and savor the beauty of Jesus with fresh eyes. \nDate: October 9-10\, 2026\nLocation: Camp Copass (Denton)\nCost: $90/person (covers lodging and all meals – scholarships available)\n[/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”basic” heading_tag=”p” link_type=”new_tab” button_color=”accent-color” text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_thickness=”0px” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”inline” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” icon_family=”none” link_text=”REGISTER” url=”https://graceefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/341/responses/new” padding_top=”8″ padding_bottom=”8″ padding_left=”8″ padding_right=”8″ margin_top=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
