Four times per year our small group leaders gather for fellowship, prayer, and training. It's one of the many ways they serve behind the scenes, quietly and without recognition.

Despite all the other things that fill their busy lives, leading us is a priority. They do it because they care about us. They do it because they need it themselves. They do it because it's right.

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2 ESV)

Please pray for your small group leader. Their ministry is really our ministry, for our Small Group Ministry is a every-member ministry. They meet tonight from 6:30-9:00pm.

Every Sunday before our service, a group of adults gather for teaching and discussion. It’s old school Sunday School — adult theological training for everyday life.

We recognize not everyone is able to participate. But for those who can, here are seven good reasons to jump in this week:

1. God’s Word directs us to grow in the knowledge of our Lord (2 Cor. 8:7; 2 Pet. 3:18).

2. Every Christian is called to teach (Col. 3:16), which means every Christian must continue to learn.

3. The current curriculum (www.newcitycatechism.com) covers the foundational beliefs of our faith — beliefs we should all know and be ready to explain.

4. The teachers know God, love God, and want to serve God.

5. The teachers know you, love you, and want to serve you.

6. Others will offer insights you may not have considered.

7. Others will ask questions you may not be asking.

Sundays at 9:30am in the Woman’s Club Gardens

There’s no homework. All you need to do is show up with your Bible eager to learn.

October is the month when we and many other churches celebrate the Protestant Reformation.

For those of you who want to learn more about the history of our church, we have a recommendation. Listen to one of the pastoral team’s favorite scholars, Michael Reeves, talk about the English Reformation.

Not only is Dr. Reeves a great scholar a teacher, he’s got a British accent, which immediately improves his presentation of church history.

Take me to the talks.
