SWORD PRACTICE – Bible Study for Women – is a new Sunday class at 9:45am. God’s Word is described as the “sword of the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:17), and like any skill, learning to wield it well takes practice. Sword Practice is an ongoing women’s Bible study where we’ll gather to dig into Scripture, sharpen our Bible study skills, and grow in our ability to read, interpret, and apply God’s Word faithfully. Whether you’ve been studying the Bible for years or are just getting started, you’re welcome. Bring your Bible, your questions, and a willingness to practice!

CEDAR KIDS CLUB HOUSE – November 15, 12-2pm. Children kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to join the fun after the second service.  This includes lunch, large group and small group. Club House meets one Sunday each month of the school year.  Click here to register.
