COFFEE & CONVERSATION CLASS meets on Sunday mornings. This Fall, the class will be reading The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr. Join us in the 10th Street Parlor—there will be several copies of the book available to use there.
THE AFTER CHURCH EATING OUT GROUP will meet today at Cafe' Italia, located at 1567 River Street. Everyone is welcome to join us for good food, warm fellowship, and uplifting conversation. This group is perfect for anyone who enjoys going out to eat after church and spending time with others in a relaxed, friendly setting.
YOUTH MEALS We need volunteers to provide home‑cooked or purchased meals for our youth during Sunday group meetings. If you’d like to help, the sign‑up sheet is available in the church landing.
MAHJONG SMALL GROUP Season of Mahjong! Want to play? Want to learn? Bring your lunch and invite your friends! The group will gather after worship service on Sundays. Contact Margaret Stein at 270-779-2579 with any questions.
WEDNESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY will begin at 6:00 p.m. We will be studying: N.T. Wright and Michael Bird's book "The New Testament You Never Knew: Exploring the Context, Purpose, and Meaning of the Story of God", which is both a personal study alongside a group study. This study is designed to enrich both your personal walk with Christ and your growth within the community, offering insight that deepens understanding and strengthens faith. It will be 8 weeks long, and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ATTEND EVERY CLASS TO JOIN! If you'd like to receive a study guide book, please sign up via the link below so that the church knows how many to order for the class. I truly hope you’ll gather with me as we dive deeper into Scripture and discover more of God’s story—and our place within it. There is something powerful that happens when God’s people open His Word together, and I believe these weeks will be both meaningful and transformative. -Pastor Patrick
