Women’s
Bible Study - “Living A Life of Balance” - Tuesdays 12:35 PM-1:35 PM,
Thru March. 30 (1st
Tues. to include lunch) We constantly hear from the experts
about balanced lifestyles - that we need proper rest, nutrition, and
exercise. It’s true enough that we need such things to maintain physical and
mental health, but we also need spiritual
balance. How do we manage all of that and the challenges of daily life? Only God can guide us toward the balance
we desperately desire. It starts with our hearts and this study will help us get there. Pastor Sara will
facilitate this Women of Faith series and all that is needed is a Bible and an
open heart.
Early
In The Morning Prayer – Wednesdays 6:30-7:00

in the morning.” In that spirit, come join a group for a time of mid-week
prayer in the sanctuary.
Matthew
Group on Wednesdays 9:15-10:15
AM in Buttaro Room (Childcare
Available!) “Do Unto Others” “Blessed are the poor” “Seek ye first” “Wise men from the east saw a star” Have you heard any of these before?
These are all quotes from the story of Jesus told in the Gospel of Matthew, the subject of our
exploration on Wednesday mornings. If you have been looking to grow in
connection with God and with others in your
faith community, this is a great opportunity. We meet 9:15-10:15
AM, and childcare is available. If you have
any questions, please speak with Michael Bush who facilitates this group.
NEW
- Exodus Group on Wednesdays 6:30-7:30
PM – Some of us saw the films The Ten Commandments or The
Prince of Egypt. Some of us learned stories in Sunday
School about slavery in Egypt, crossing the Red Sea, manna in the wilderness and more.
These stories of Exodus were central to Hebrew people and the faith community
in which Jesus was raised. What did they mean to the Israelites? What did they mean
for Jesus and the earliest followers? What do they reveal about how God wants
to move us from bondage to freedom today? Come and join us Wednesday evenings
at 6:30 PM in March as we begin a study of this second book of the Bible.
We meet in the Buttaro Room. This group also meets at 5:30 PM the first Wednesday of the month to
share a meal together. Please see Pastor Michael Bush if you have questions.
Galatians
Bible Study on Thursdays 10:45-11:45
AM- What were the joys and challenges
of following Jesus for the earliest communities of
disciples? How are those like our own joys and challenges? We invite all those who are able to join us on Thursday
mornings as we begin a study of two of the New Testament letters that will help us in our own faith journeys.
We being with Paul's letter to the church at Galatia, and will later look at the letter written by James. If you have
questions please speak with Michael Bush.
Yoga,
Meditation & Prayer on Thursdays 7:00-8:30
PM - A time of movement, meditation and
prayer in the CEC, led by Martha Parrish Bush.
These yoga sessions focus on the spiritual and are intended for all physical ability levels. While we work with
various yoga postures and breath, we practice inviting the spirit to move in and through us. We end our time
together with meditation and prayer choosing to listen attentively to what God might want to say to us. This
time is quiet, gentle, and honoring of God and all who come to seek God in this way and place. If you’re curious,
just come and see! Or ask Martha or Sally Mullen for more information.
