Tea.ology
Tea.ology is monthly conversations in an informal setting, with "women talking like women" about God. The topics are chosen to challenge the group, and the discussion leader will ensure everyone is prepared before the meeting.
Enrollment is limited. You don't need to be a scholar, but you do need to be female, 18 years or older, a regular attender of Sovereign Grace, and willing to commit to a series of meetings.
Second Tuesdays, 7pm in Old Towne Orange
Welcome Back
School is back! If you are a Junior or Senior High School student, please plan on joining us for our monthly meetups.
The first Thursdays of every month through May. Our meetings will rotate homes and you can expect food, fun, and a hearty conversation about God every time we gather.
This week we are at the Turbedsky Residence, 7-9PM. The topic is The Justice of God: What really is fair?
3 New Leaders
The pastoral team announced an ambitious plan to multiply our small groups this Fall. We need to make room for more people to experience the same kind of community and ministry that we have enjoyed...small groups of friends who act like families because we are.
Over the next few months, each of the three pastors who lead a small group will begin to prepare a new person to lead the group. If you are a member of one of these groups, you have a part to play. They will need your help in identifying, preparing, and supporting your leader. Change is never easy and grace is necessary all the way around. However, it's worth it when you consider the potential.
So join us in praying for God's continuing favor as we labor to extend ourselves for the advance of the gospel. Feel free to ask questions or even to nominate someone to lead. Press in, build deep, and be ready to welcome newcomers into your groups.

We've asked everyone who accepted our challenge to read 12 books in 12 months to submit one sentence from every book they read. As John Piper says, “Books don’t change people, paragraphs do — sometimes sentences.”
This month's category was "A mystery or detective novel." and we should have seen this coming. We had a number of unusual sentences submitted. Here is a sample:
"Does your Lordship desire to be shaved?" - Sue
"Sunsets did that here (LA). Made you forget it was the smog that made their colors so brilliant, that behind every pretty picture there could be an ugly story." - David
"Which is it today," I asked, " morphine or cocaine?" - Lois
"As of tomorrow, you can go around saying that the pope slits the throats of babies and eats them, or that Mother Teresa of Calcutta was the one who put the bomb on the Munich train, and people will say, ‘Oh, really? Interesting,’ and they’ll turn around and get on with what they were doing." - Daniel
