SUMMARY:Good & Beautiful Small Group Study
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to a Sunday morning small group study to explore The Good and Beautiful You by James Bryan Smith and discover the person Jesus created you to be. This journey invites us to rediscover who God really is and how God’s grace transforms our lives as we replace the false stories we tell ourselves about God with the truth revealed in Jesus Christ. The study meets on Sundays at 11:00am\, January 11–March 29. Books can be purchased on Amazon\, or you can pick up a copy from the church office. A children’s program is offered for kids in nursery through sixth grade to continue their faith journey with the Holy Moly curriculum. Come grow with us as we seek to know the God who is truly good and beautiful!
