SUMMARY:Advent Can Still Change the World - Monday Night Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Monday Evening Bible Study | A Four-Week Advent Study \nWe know the Christmas story. We’ve heard it in carols\, seen it in nativity scenes\, and celebrated it through traditions passed down for generations. But what if this familiar story still has something new to teach us? \nThis Advent\, join our Monday Evening Bible Study as we explore Advent Can Still Change the World by Josh Scott. Together\, we’ll look beyond the familiar images of Christmas to discover the world into which Jesus was born—and why that matters for the world we live in today. \nThrough the Gospel stories of Matthew and Luke\, we’ll explore how the birth of Jesus reveals God’s presence in a world longing for hope\, peace\, and change. \nAdvent isn’t simply about remembering what God did long ago. It’s about recognizing what God is still doing among us today. \nWhether you’ve studied the Christmas story many times or are looking at it with fresh eyes\, you’re welcome to join us for this four-week journey of discovery and reflection.

SUMMARY:Finding Jesus In the Mess - Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Finding Jesus in the Mess \nLife doesn’t have to be tidy for God to meet us in it. Our joys\, sorrows\, questions\, and complications can become places where we discover Christ’s love. \nJoin the next Thursday Afternoon Bible Study\, beginning November 5\, as we explore Into the Mess & Other Jesus Stories by Debie Thomas. Through familiar Jesus stories told with fresh insight\, we’ll consider how God finds and loves us in the messiness of everyday life. \nCome with your questions\, curiosity\, and life just as it is. All are welcome!
