Meeting Place and Time: Fireside Room – Sundays at 9:00 am Contact Person: Pastor Mike – 419-469-0156
New Study: Facing the Unknown – Mark Batterson
Summary: Many people feel like their life leads them from one path to the next with no certainty. Is this the right job? Is he or she “the one?” Is now the time to have kids? What do I do now? Am I even on the right path? In this study, we see Abraham living in the 21st century and ask, what might he think and feel with the incredible steps of faith God asked him to take. The Study will begin with a focus on God’s Call; then on to God’s Covenant, God’s Timing and God’s Provision.
Group: Woman’s Bible Study
Meeting Place and Time: 306 Ridgepoint Circle, Waterville- Mondays at 7:00 pm–September 10 through November 26
Contact Person: Delores Young 419-878-8238.
New Study: Finding God in Desperate Moments
Summary: Jesus demonstrated the presence and power of God by performing miracles. Yet these miracles also have in common human desperation. This study will open our eyes to our need for Him and how weakness is an invitation for God to work powerfully in our lives.
