You are Free: Be Who You Already Are -- by Rebekah Lyons
This study by Rebekah Lyons explains that freedom is for everyone who wants it—the lost, the wounded, and those weary from striving. It’s for those who gave up trying years ago. It’s for those who are angry and hurt, brilliant and burnt by the Christian song and dance. Rebekah explains that each Christian is the church and we all are meant to be free. The women's small groups focusing on this study will meet at two different times, Friday mornings at 9:30 am and Sunday afternoon at 5:30 pm beginning the week of Sunday, March 26th. Each group will provide childcare and will take place at the church facility. You may sign up for this group by following the sign up page link above or by filling out a sign-up card insert in the bulletin on Sunday morning.

Ephesians: The Study of Paul's Letter to the Early Church -- By Jason Nelson
The book of Ephesians challenges us to see ourselves distinctly as God's children. Because of our new status in Christ, our lives are marked and our actions should reflect that change. This six-lesson study challenges us to read the words of Paul to the early church with a fresh perspective and engage with each other as people defined by grace. This study serves to remind us that we are molded by grace into one family, the family of God. Several meeting times and locations will be available for this study so please refer to the sign up page link above or the sign-up card insert in the bulletin on Sunday morning for specific meeting times and locations.

It is Finished: A Study of Christ's Final Words on the Cross -- by Jason Nelson and David Dorn
This is a six-session study built around the final words of Jesus from the cross. Jesus' last words are powerful teaching moments that if unpacked, can radically shape our lives as we learn what it means to be human and the limitless love of God. Each lesson dives into the historical and practical significance surrounding each of Jesus' phrases while the study guide gives each group participant different spiritual practices to participate in during the weeks leading up to and after Easter. Several meeting times and locations will be available for this study so please refer to the sign up page link above or the sign-up card insert in the bulletin on Sunday morning for specific meeting times and locations.
