As I mentioned on Sunday, everything we do here at Freedom has to line up with our core values. If we have it on the calendar then it should be obvious how it helps us to connect, train or impact. Along with that we are working to give each of you more options in each of these categories that don't add more programs but do equip each disciple in their next stage of growth.
With that firmly in our sights, we are mixing up the format of Connecting Point 1 on Wednesday nights. Here's what will stay the same:
Time and Place: Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00, at Freedom
Youth meet in the FCC
KidzConnect for kids in JK to Grade 6
Nursery care for infants and Preschoolers
Group studies and discussion to challenge your spiritual growth
What's changing is your options. Instead of every group doing studying the same content and asking the same questions, you have the opportunity to choose a group that best answers the question: What's next on your discipleship journey?
Here are the options that will begin on Wednesday, January 30 and run for 12 weeks (not including March Break)...
Everything You Need - a study of 2 Peter 1:3-11
led by Pastor Del and Arlene Wells, second group discussion table led by Jim & Kelly Klujber as needed
requires personal study time during the week
hard copies of the course will be provided
each week will include a teaching time by Pastor Del followed by small group discussion
NOTE: This course will also be offered online via video teaching beginning in February.
Life in the Spirit - second course in the Life Transformation series
led by Erin and Matt Jamieson
this course follows First Steps, as completed at CP1 in Fall 2018
no homework required
hard copies of the course will be provided (also available for any e-reader)
small group format
Making Sense of God & The Great Omission (Book Studies)
SIGN-UP IS REQUIRED (click here)
led by Pastor Tracy Dunham
requires reading chapters during the week
books must be purchased or borrowed (ebooks and audiobooks are available)
group discussion format
Making Sense of God is by Timothy Keller and focuses on apologetics in the real world
The Great Omission is by Dallas Willard and is a discipleship challenge
Is it just me or is that VERY exciting? I can't wait to get started.
It's a new year with a chance for a new focus and a fresh challenge. Will you join us?
Pastor Tracy
