We typically think of grief as something we experience when we
lose someone we care about. Not to trivialize the pain of that
loss, but in reality we experience grief in some form each time
life takes an unexpected turn and changes our reality from what
we expected. We're going to look at the grief process, the
impact it has on daily living, and how we - as believers - can
approach it.

Why wait? Why does it matter what I do with my body? Why is
sin a big deal? How can this natural feeling be bad? Why follow
the way of Jesus?
This January and February, our Student Ministry will be talking
with our students about sexuality on Wednesday nights in their
Trek Groups. This class will help equip parents about what we
are talking about and help them to continue the conversation at
home. All parents of teenagers, and anyone else who is
interested, are invited to come join us as we wrestle with how to
have these conversations with our students and what faith has
to do with any of this. Jesus was not afraid to ask hard
questions and have hard conversations. We shouldn’t be either.
The church must be a place where we can have these hard
conversations and ground them in the grace and truth of King
Jesus. Please make plans to come join us and see where God
leads!

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” This was the
message of Jesus as he preached to the masses. In the gospel
of Matthew, we have recorded what many call “the sermon on
the mount”. In this teaching, Jesus fleshes out what kingdom
living looks like. It is counter-cultural, it is revolutionary, and it
sometimes seems impossible. But Jesus tells us to change our
minds. It is the most wise way to live, and failing to live this way
leads to destruction. Join us for this 8-week dive into the
sermon on the mount and Kingdom living!

Living a life of faith in Jesus is not for the faint of heart. We live
in a world of competing values, priorities, and influences. In his
letter to Christians in Colosse, Paul reminds them of God’s story
of salvation and encourages them to remain true to the ways of
the Kingdom despite the pressures they are experiencing. We
will use the lenses of Story, Love, and Wisdom as we search for
our own reasons to hold on to hope.

Each week a team from SW prays over the church. Our desire is
to put God at the center of our lives and invite Him to use this
body to bring Him Glory. We meet on Sundays. The first Sunday
of the month we meet from 2:00-4:00pm for an extended time
of prayer and learning. Every remaining Sunday, we meet at
8:30am to pray. We would love to have you join us!

6:30-8:00 - Room 601
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus has come to
give us life to the full. We must have a battle plan—a strategy to
defeat any power Satan has in our lives and replace those lies
with truths from God. How has the enemy kept you from
experiencing life to the full? Each week, we will dig into the
word, examine stories that reveal common strategies that Satan
uses to attack us and paralyze us, and also look at God’s truth
and His power made available to us.
Here are some topics we will cover: fear and faith, steadfastness in discouragement, vulnerability, worthiness, and courage, surrender and pride, boldness and persistence, transformation, His grace and our gifts. The format will include sharing of His word, discussion as a whole and in groups, and something you can take with you each week to use in your personal time with God.

7:00-8:00pm - Room 603
Sometimes, the last thing we need is another class. Truth is,
many of us are educated about faith beyond our application. On
Wednesdays this quarter, we will spend our time attending to
God through devotionals. We’ll sing a couple songs, hear from
scripture, and spend time in prayer and other spiritual practices.
You’re invited to come and find encouragement from brothers
and sisters as we seek the Lord together. We will take a break
from the craziness and remember what matters most.

together in the fight against hunger. If you’d like to experience
the joy found in this class along with making some new friends,
we would love to have you join us!
