Easter Group | Prepare the Way | Holy Week
Leader: Tammy Palumbo

In the last days of Jesus we learn about what true humility, justice, servitude, prayer, sacrifice, hope and authority really looked like. In the Sunday experiences leading up to Easter, and during Holy Week – the 5 days leading up to Good Friday – we’ll be diving into the Gospel of John, chapters 12-17, and exploring what he meant when “Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.'” (John 18:36).

You can expect to be introduced to some of the symbols and rituals unique to Easter: palm branches for Palm Sunday, foot washing and Communion for Maundy Thursday, and quiet reflection reminiscent of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gesthemane in the days leading up to his death and glorious Resurrection.

April – June Study: Kingdom Heroes by Tony Evans

Are you living by faith?
Each of us must daily choose between giving in to the world’s pressure to trust in ourselves or yielding control of our lives to God. While following God’s directions when we don’t see immediate results can be difficult, the payoff will always be tremendous.

In the six-session series, we will look at the people in the Bible’s Hall of Faith: Old Testament heroes, such as Abraham, Noah, and Moses, who let God lead their lives. We will learn how their journeys can help us understand what it means to walk in faith.

We meet the 2nd and 3rd Saturday of each month

Courage for Everyday People
After roaming the wilderness for decades, God’s people finally reached the Promised Land. But there were still obstacles that stood in their way. Securing the land God had promised them would require strength, courage, and faith.

In this eight-session series on the book of Joshua, pastor Louie Giglio shows us that our story today isn’t too far removed from Joshua and the Israelites: we need the same strength, courage, and faith to face the challenges in our lives. Come learn what it means to follow God faithfully, no matter what obstacles are before you.

The Great Disappearance – How to Be Rapture Ready, by Dr. David Jeremiah
Description:
“You and I are privileged to stand on the cresting waves of prophecy—to live in a time closer to the return of Jesus Christ than any other generation in the history of the world. We sense the nearness of His return. We see the signs of the times. We know the world is reaching a climactic point of unparalleled crisis.”
“Who among the followers of Jesus wouldn’t be thrilled to hear the blast of the trumpet, catch the shout of the angel, and feel the upward pull of the magnetic, rapturous grace of God calling us out of this world and letting us see our Lord Jesus face-to-face? The greatest truth about the Rapture is … its reality—for blessed are all those who long for His appearing (2 Tim. 4:8).” Join us in this study “to become rapture ready, eager, excited, and filled with a joy that will make others ask you about it when they see the hope that’s within you.” (excerpts from the Introduction to The Great Disappearance, by Dr. David Jeremiah)

Leader: Amanda Latondress

How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us?

In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

BENEFITS:
– Study 1, 2, and 3 John verse by verse.
– Find encouragement in the truth that God loves you.
– Learn to discern the truth of God from a lie.
– Be challenged to remain steadfast in your faith.

The Struggle is Real by Nicole Unice
Explores with us why life’s a struggle and what to do about it. With God as the hero of the story, a hard day has new meaning. We can find joy in him instead of feeling stuck. And our lives can be defined by redemption instead of struggle.

// March 20- April 24
The Cost of Control by Sharon Hodde Miller
We often claim to have everything under control—whether it’s our hectic family schedules, deadlines at work, or unexpected problems that throw us off track—but are we, really? Control can trick us into thinking we can gain comfort, security, and peace through our own efforts. But even though we might think we have a handle on our lives, God is the only one fully in control. In this 6-session series, Bible teacher and author Sharon Hodde Miller discusses the way control can cost us a lot more than we could ever imagine—and how we can walk in faith knowing God is in complete control.

// May 1 – June 5
‘Every Good Gift’ by Ann Voskamp
How natural is generosity to who you are? What do you do with what you have? Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about hospitality, generosity, and stewardship?
We have a cloud of witnesses globally, nationally, and locally who provide incredible testimonies of generosity. Tethered to biblical accounts of giving, this six-session series with author and speaker Ann Voskamp explores examples of offering hospitality, time, money, spiritual gifts, and empathy to the glory of God.
Everything we have is a gift. Will we hold tightly to these gifts with a scarcity mentality or will we handle them with open hands?

STUDY: First Thessalonians: Living for Christ in a Culture that Doesn’t (by Ben Stuart on Right Now Media)

This study of 1 Thessalonians is the first letter Paul wrote to his new church. Paul’s letter acknowledges the challenges believers have faced, and gives encouragement that is practical and applicable to today.
What is God’s will for our lives, and why is it important to know? In this eight-session series, Pastor Ben Stuart shows us that Jesus calls us to live our faith openly, letting the world see our allegiance to him. When we are being faithful, pressing against culture, others can’t help but notice. As we live confident of our good future in God’s kingdom, we show the world where—and in whom—their hope lies.

Assembling Hygiene Kits for Women Globally

Every year, women, girls and people with periods go without quality, accurate and safe menstrual health education. Without it, stigma, shame and taboos persist, often holding women and girls back from attending school and going to work.

Our group from around the community gathers monthly to cut, iron and sew menstrual hygiene kits to be distributed to girls and women around the world. Come join us!

No sewing skills required but serving heart is great. If you have sewing machine or serger, please do bring that along as well as sewing scissors, cutting mats and blades and rulers are helpful.

Friends and even your teenagers who are willing to work are welcome to join us. It is a night that is so great for the heart and soul as we create something to support others who do not have.

The Great Disappearance – How to Be Rapture Ready, by Dr. David Jeremiah
Description:
“You and I are privileged to stand on the cresting waves of prophecy—to live in a time closer to the return of Jesus Christ than any other generation in the history of the world. We sense the nearness of His return. We see the signs of the times. We know the world is reaching a climactic point of unparalleled crisis.”
“Who among the followers of Jesus wouldn’t be thrilled to hear the blast of the trumpet, catch the shout of the angel, and feel the upward pull of the magnetic, rapturous grace of God calling us out of this world and letting us see our Lord Jesus face-to-face? The greatest truth about the Rapture is … its reality—for blessed are all those who long for His appearing (2 Tim. 4:8).” Join us in this study “to become rapture ready, eager, excited, and filled with a joy that will make others ask you about it when they see the hope that’s within you.” (excerpts from the Introduction to The Great Disappearance, by Dr. David Jeremiah)

The Struggle is Real by Nicole Unice
Explores with us why life’s a struggle and what to do about it. With God as the hero of the story, a hard day has new meaning. We can find joy in him instead of feeling stuck. And our lives can be defined by redemption instead of struggle.

// March 20- April 24
The Cost of Control by Sharon Hodde Miller
We often claim to have everything under control—whether it’s our hectic family schedules, deadlines at work, or unexpected problems that throw us off track—but are we, really? Control can trick us into thinking we can gain comfort, security, and peace through our own efforts. But even though we might think we have a handle on our lives, God is the only one fully in control. In this 6-session series, Bible teacher and author Sharon Hodde Miller discusses the way control can cost us a lot more than we could ever imagine—and how we can walk in faith knowing God is in complete control.

// May 1 – June 5
‘Every Good Gift’ by Ann Voskamp
How natural is generosity to who you are? What do you do with what you have? Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about hospitality, generosity, and stewardship?
We have a cloud of witnesses globally, nationally, and locally who provide incredible testimonies of generosity. Tethered to biblical accounts of giving, this six-session series with author and speaker Ann Voskamp explores examples of offering hospitality, time, money, spiritual gifts, and empathy to the glory of God.
Everything we have is a gift. Will we hold tightly to these gifts with a scarcity mentality or will we handle them with open hands?
