Living Prayer Small Group Study
We invite you to take up a personal journey toward growing closer to God through the mystery and power of prayer by joining a small group that will study Maxie Dunnam’s Workbook of Living Prayer.
This study is one of the best-selling group resources ever published by The Upper Room. This dynamic and thought-provoking workbook will enrich your prayer life. "My prayer is that all who use this revised edition will not only learn something new about prayer, but more than anything else, will be inspired to pray," writes Dunnam. "Prayer is one of the ways we link ourselves with God, we put ourselves in the channel of God's moving power, and we participate with God in ministry to all persons. …I am convinced that this is one of the most glorious privileges given to Christians."

ReFuel
Join us for a lunch time Bible study on Tuesdays at noon in Room 108 of the Education Building. Bring a lunch and join us to ReFuel!
Elizabeth Blair will lead a study on the Book of Colossians during the month of November.
Paul had seen the enthusiasm of the Colossian Christians, but knew they would face dangers as they grew in faith. Paul—now stuck in prison—wrote to his young flock, affirming them, warning them of hazards and pointing them to Jesus, the ‘firstborn over all creation’ who was with them and at work in them. During the month of November we will study Paul’s letter to the Colossians.
