A Season of Discovery

Maybe the Holy Spirit is speaking in us as we contemplate these things. But I suggest that sometimes our conscience can make a very heavy burden out of otherwise good ideas.

Instead, Jesus promises to increase our joy, to give us abundant life, and to bring rest and restoration to weary souls. Where the conscience demands, Jesus invites. And he is inviting us all to discover his friendship, rest in his goodness, and be strengthened by his resurrection power.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? (Ps 42:1–2)

This winter you are invited to choose options to re-discover grace in your friendship with Jesus. Discovery groups are re launching with an expanded menu of choices. Please take a few moments to ask the Lord which of these is right for you.

Starting the week of January 13, 2024, 6-8 weeks.

• Monday Morning: 10am Abide in Christ is designed to breathe fresh air into your daily walk with God.
• Tuesday Morning: 10:30 am Hymns of my Heart: listen to God as he speaks through the music, lyrics and origins of your favourite worship music.
  (Each participant will be asked to identify two favourite songs so we can listen and reflect on the message, the scriptures which inspired it and the author’s testimony.)
• Tuesday Evening: 6:30 pm Core Disciple-making – this smaller group will have an intensive focus on the essential practices and content for making disciples.
• Thursday Morning: 10:30am Grow Character – in this Sequel to Abide in Christ, we learn to let the Holy Spirit guide our daily walk to develop the Fruit of the Spirit together.
