GRACE Midweek Bible Study
Wednesdays 6:30 PM | Via Zoom
Thursdays at 11:00 AM | GRACE Hall B
September 13 – December 13, 2023
We are living in a cultural moment in which a serious faith commitment seems strange, out of place, even regarded as harmful. This kind of experience is hardly new. The Old Testament story of the exile tells about how God’s people found themselves living in a place that was not friendly to their faith. And it tells about what it mean to thrive in such a place. This fall the Midweek Bible Class will listen to the words of the prophet Jeremiah to understand better how to live well in exile.
GRACE Women’s Bible Study: Psalms: Prayers of the Heart
Wednesdays 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM | GRACE Hall B
September 13 – December 13, 2023
The Book of Psalms is the prayer book of the Bible. For centuries God’s people have prayed by reading and reciting the Psalms. Join Carol VanArtsdalen for this 12-week study of the Psalms, learning to honestly express our response to God while claiming God’s promises about who He is, what He has done, and what he continues to do.
GRACE Men’s Bible Study
Wednesdays 7:00 AM | GRACE Hall B
September 13 – December 13, 2023
This Fall, the men of Grace church are invited to take steps in a quest to become more like Jesus. We will start with Jesus’ call to “follow me” and then focus specifically on Jesus’ relationship with God through prayer.
The Book of Hebrews
Sundays 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | GRACE Hall B
September 17 – November 12
Before Jesus was born, God had been revealing himself to his people, making himself known through his law and through the words of the prophets. In Jesus, God’s self-disclosure comes to its most complete and definitive expression. In the New Testament, the book of Hebrews connects the dots and shows us how the entire Bible is one story that points to Jesus. Join Dr. Gary Harlow on Sunday morning at 11:00 for a verse by verse study of the Book of Hebrews.
Grandparenting Matters
Sunday 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | GRACE Hall C
September 17 – November 12
Being a Grandparent can be great fun – but it is also a high calling. Grandparents can be formative figures in the spiritual lives of their grandkids. On Sunday mornings at 11:00 you can receive practical ideas and information to help you become an “intentional” Christian grandparent. Using short videos on relevant topics plus discussion, you’ll learn how to nurture your grandchildren’s faith and overcome grandparenting obstacles.”
Young Adults (20s/30s) Small Group
Sunday 9:45 – 10:45 AM | GRACE Hall A
