This is a safe space to share or ask questions without judgment or shame. \nIs there a cost to attend?Dinner is provided and there is no cost to attend. \nDo I have to come every week?We encourage attending all eight weeks to get the most out of the experience\, but we understand that schedules can sometimes make that difficult. \nCan I bring a friend?Absolutely!

SUMMARY:A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God
DESCRIPTION:The best way to grow in a relationship with Christ is in relationship with others. Our Community Groups are a place where you can connect with others in a learning community; finding Biblical direction for life’s sometimes difficult journey. For more information about Community Groups contact Pastor Blair. \nSometimes what we believe about the Christian life comes from a single but prominent point of view—an older Christian we look up to\, a preacher\, or a parent. But is there only one way of living the life of a Jesus follower? \n\nThe Christian life—even one centered on grace—can still feel like a long list of dos and don’ts. But what if there’s more (and less) to our faith than we typically believe? In this series based on the book A Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God by Larry Osborne\, we will tackle popular assumptions about Christian living that create stress and failure rather than growth and joy.

SUMMARY:SMACTAlk (Supporting Mothers of Adult Children)
DESCRIPTION:Mothering doesn’t end when your children become adults — it simply changes. Whether you’re experiencing deep joy\, quiet worry\, or ongoing disappointment\, you are not alone. SMACTalk is a place to find biblical encouragement and supportive community with women who understand this season. We meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. \nThis month Laura Lyn Bell\, a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in grief counseling\, will compassionately address the unique grief many moms carry. She’ll walk us through practical “Grieve the Reality” steps\, grounded in Scripture and shaped by personal experience. This evening will also offer encouragement as she reminds us of the beautiful\, God-given opportunity to bless our adult children through private prayer—trusting the Lord to lead and empower us as mothers. Come connect with other moms who understand\, and find hope\, healing\, and encouragement for your heart.\n\n \n“Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.” – Romans 12:15\nCommon Questions

But is there only one way of living the life of a Jesus follower? \nThe Christian life—even one centered on grace—can still feel like a long list of dos and don’ts. But what if there’s more (and less) to our faith than we typically believe? In this series based on the book A Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God by Larry Osborne\, we will tackle popular assumptions about Christian living that create stress and failure rather than growth and joy. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
