"Next Door Savior": Sunday's 5-7pm, Room 115

Leaders: Jerry & Dorothy Born (428-8870)
As the subtitle of this book suggests ("Near enough to touch, strong enough to trust"), this study will help you understand that God came to earth to become just like us and yet is stronger and more reliable than any human could ever be.

"Jesus, Mean and Wild" Sunday's 5-7pm, Room 113

Leaders: Pastor Wade and Paula Stine (521-1463)
This group will meet another side of Jesus. Some Christians like to paint Jesus as nice, meek, gentle, and so on... And while He is those things, that's not all He is. We will look at Jesus' other side - things such as His persistent, fearsome, and untamed love that we can find true joy and happiness in.
