Parents! On Wednesday, May 10 at 6:30 pm, we will be hosting a speaker who works in law enforcement. He will be presenting on sextortion – an increasingly common issue he’s seen that can have incredibly damaging consequences. This is an educational opportunity for you, as parents, to receive all the information to help you make informed decisions on what kinds of conversations to have and boundaries to set for your kids.
Head to Room 202 while your high school and middle school students attend their regularly scheduled Wednesday night program.

It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way
In this six-session Bible study you will find a safe place to share your disappointments, gain biblical insight to get you through painful situations, and life-giving perspectives for living between Eden and eternity.
Life often looks very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. At times like these, it’s easy to feel disappointed and disillusioned and to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness.
So what do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful?
Our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.
- Learn how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
- Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
- Discover the secret of remaining trustful when God seems to give us more than we can handle.
- Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us for what’s next.
- Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God’s truth.
Wednesdays: 6:30 pm, Beginning April 5th Room 201, facilitated by Faith Opper, Study Guide $14
