SUMMARY:Thursday Afternoon bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a place to grow in your faith\, ask meaningful questions\, and connect with others? You’re invited to join us for Thursday Afternoon Bible Study\, beginning September 10. \nOur first study of the season will be Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say by Adam Hamilton. \nWe’ve all heard familiar sayings like “Everything happens for a reason” or “God helps those who help themselves.” They may sound biblical—but are they? In Half Truths\, Adam Hamilton takes a thoughtful and engaging look at several common phrases\, exploring the truth they contain\, where they can lead us astray\, and what Scripture actually teaches. \nWhether you’ve participated in Bible studies for years or are simply curious and looking for a place to begin\, you are welcome. Come as you are\, bring your questions\, and join the conversation. \nThursday Afternoon Bible Study\nSeptember 10–October 15\n1:00–2:30 p.m.\nRoom 207 \nNo registration is needed. \nThe book is available through Amazon for approximately $9.89 or may be ordered through your local bookstore. \nFor more information\, contact Linda Mahan at 734-478-6894. \nWe hope you’ll join us as we discover together how moving beyond easy answers and familiar sayings can lead us toward a deeper\, more thoughtful faith.

SUMMARY:Messy Church
DESCRIPTION:Scripture Passage: Jonah 1-4. \nSeptember 13 • 4:00–5:30 PM \nGod gave Jonah one job—but Jonah had other plans! He tried to run from what God was asking him to do\, only to discover that God wasn’t finished with him yet. \nIn this Messy Church session\, we’ll dive into Jonah’s story through games\, crafts\, and a prayer station\, exploring what happens when we try to run from God’s call and how God continues to call us\, guide us\, and offer grace. \nCome join us as we discover what Jonah’s story has to say about listening to God\, responding to God’s call\, and extending God’s grace to others. \nAll ages are welcome!

SUMMARY:Monday Night Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us this fall for a six-week Monday Night Bible Study featuring Simon Peter: Flawed But Faithful Disciple by Adam Hamilton. \nPeter was one of Jesus’ closest disciples\, yet his story is filled with both courage and mistakes\, faith and fear\, loyalty and failure. Through Peter’s journey\, we’re reminded that God doesn’t call perfect people—God works through ordinary\, imperfect people who are willing to follow. \nTogether\, we’ll explore Peter’s life\, his relationship with Jesus\, and what his story can teach us about grace\, discipleship\, perseverance\, and faith. \nThe study runs September 21 through October 26. \nAll are welcome\, whether you’re a longtime Bible study participant or joining a group for the first time. Come with your questions\, your experiences\, and an open heart as we learn together what it means to be faithful—even when we don’t get everything right.
