Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-3
 
Adult Small Groups (click links to register)

Matthew (Sundays at 6 pm in Wesley Hall)
Journey inside the pages of Scripture to meet a personal God who enters individual lives and begins a creative work from the inside out. Shaped with the individual in mind, Immersion encourages simultaneous engagement both with the Word of God and with the God of the Word to become a new creation in Christ.
Immersion, inspired by a fresh translation--the Common English Bible--stands firmly on Scripture and helps readers explore the emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of their personal faith. More importantly, they’ll be able to discover God’s revelation through readings and reflections.  The book is $9, payable through the online registration.

Philippians (Thursdays at 9:30 am in Wesley Hall)
The Letter of Philippians talks about how grateful Paul is for their support and encourages them to have joy as Christians regardless of their circumstances.  When you read these words think about this:  Paul is chained to a Roman soldier, and his letter to the church in Philippi is to remind them of the goodness of a faithful God.”  The book is $13, payable through the registration.
