Tuesday
7:00am - Men's Little Church
Gene Sherman - Leader
Begins 9/13 - Weekly for 12 Weeks; (11 weeks in the Spring)
This Little Church is for men on the go and is easily accessible via Zoom. This year we will be studying God’s Word through the book “Gentle and Lowly, Pt. 2” by Dane Orlund. Christians can easily feel that Jesus is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. They know what Christ has done for them 15but who is he? How does he feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? In Matthew 11, Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. This book reflects on his words, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of Christ’s affections for sinners and encouraging believers as they journey, weary and faltering, toward heaven.

9:00am - Women's Little Church
Linda Jackson, Leader
Begins 1/24 - Weekly for 10 Weeks
This Little Church will meet weekly at CCW in the Hearth Room from 9:00-10:30 AM. This winter, they will be studying a book entitled, “Gentle & Lowly” by Dane Orlund with the video series. The video series is arranged into 10 sessions that correspond to questions in the study guide. This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love of Christ for his people--for the sinful and the suffering. These chapters dive deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encourage readers with the affections of Christ for his people. Please contact Linda Jackson at ljack2328@ gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
