Men’s Encounter

Men’s Encounter is a time for us men to get away and encounter God, perhaps like never before; a time to consider, give thought to our lives, and discover solutions to the unique challenges facing men.

Who would you like to provide solutions for you?  Who better than God?

It is important to take the time to step away and gain perspective.  Whether you think you have it all figured out or not, you will benefit from attending and you will come home with no regrets. From the time you leave until the time you return, you will have nothing to worry about; all meals, transportation and lodging is included.  January 31- February 2, 2019, with multiple launch points. Registration can be done at encounterthecross.com.

“Souper” Bowl Sunday

Please remember to bring cans of soup and crackers to help support the Northern Riley County Community Food Basket on Sunday, February 3, 2019.  A bright green storage tote will be available to put your donations in.

Ladies Bible Study

On each Tuesday from 6:30-8:15 please join us for a time of sharing, praying and interacting with God’s word. We have a fellowship time (usually with a snack) and share life and prayer requests and then pray together. After that we read and discuss a passage of scripture that we have all written (or realistically all attempted to write) in our journals. We have been amazed at how this writing, meditating and discussing the passages really helps us learn God’s word. Absolutely come as you are. We really want to have a place to be ourselves and grow in friendship with each other and with God. There is always room at our table. If you have any questions please text, call or email Laura. 970.402.1196, laura@renfroconsulting.com

We will be discussing Acts 10:1-23a at our study on January 29^th. I have found using a notebook or journal write only on the left side and number the verses.  Some ladies even do words of Christ in red! Then as we discuss you can use the right side for notes or doodles.
