Adults

Starting June 21st, we'll meet on Sundays at 8:00 pm. We'll start with zoom meetings.

This is a book club where we are reading books that focus on the experiences of black Americans and discuss ways that white Americans can become anti-racists because, according to Ibram Kendi, "the opposite of 'racist' isn't 'not racist.' " All are welcome.

We will decide as a group what to read. I have a list of options. The group will vote on what to read.

Some options that I have identified/collected.

Under our Skin by Ben Watson
Blindspot: The hidden biases of good people- Anthony Greenwald and Mahzarin Banaji
How to be an Anti-racist Ibram X. Kendi
White Fragility Robin Diangelo
We are Not Yet Equal- Carol Anderson
The Heart of Whiteness- Robert Jensen
Dear White Christian- Aaron Leyton

Want to grow, change, and follow Jesus as a way of life? We are a group that meets on Saturday late morning ONLINE BY PHONE currently. Under normal conditions we meet at Panera to talk about our journey. We'd love to have you.

DivorceCare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. Don't go through separation or divorce alone.

Divorce can be hard and painful. But it's a lot easier when you go through it with others and know that God has your back each step of the way. That's what we do in this group, using a program of study that has proven effective in helping people navigate separation and divorce. Men and women are invited.

Starts: September 17
Co-led: Michael Young, & Cyndi Thompson

Having a Mary Spirit: Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out by Joanna Weaver
Having an intimate relationship with God has been the greatest blessing of my life. He is my Savior, yes, and my Friend. I am comfortable in His presence. He gently tugs at my heart when I am thinking or doing wrong, and gushes over me when He is pleased. I no longer live in fear of His wrath and lean into His correction. I am the recipient of unmerited favor and unwarranted forgiveness. He's the quintessential Father I never had, but always wanted.
That's how I felt after reading Having a Mary Spirit five years ago. It launched me on the path toward confidence in God's love like nothing I'd ever read. JoAnna Weaver brought me face to face with my pain and my promise, and I am deeply grateful.
I highly recommend this book to women seeking to find or renew their place in God. It'll launch and accelerate you on your journey. - Misha Rious

Our virtual small group will meet on Wednesday evenings from 9:00-10:00 pm. As noted, we will be using six lessons from Les & Leslie Parrot's work, "Love Talk".

We feel like these times, especially those of us married, with school-aged children, could really use a weekly course like this. We will meet via Zoom/Ring Central Meeting,
Meeting ID#1482868610
https://meetings.ringcentral.com/j/1482868610 You will be given access to the church membership to RightNowMedia (a massive cloud library of resources).

If you are a regular attending member of our online campus, or are looking for a way to fit small group community into your schedule and think an online option might work, you can join this weekly Sunday conversation small group. We meet through a RingCentral meeting link each week and discuss thoughts, ideas and questions that come up from our Sunday message. See you online.

Perhaps circumstances have left you feeling so broken that you doubt that it's possible to pick up the pieces. Maybe you can't, but God can. Discover the blessings on the other side of brokenness - spiritual maturity, true intimacy with God, and powerful ministry to others who, too, are broken.

Step 1: Connect (1st weekend of every month),
Step 2: Community (2nd weekend of every month)
Step 3: Change Makers (3rd weekend of every month)
Step 4: Compassion (4th weekend of every month)

Most people like to start with Step 1, but you are welcome to start at any point. Know that there is no NEXT experience on the 5th weekend for any month that has a 5th weekend. NEXT meets in the Conference Room 105, located down the hallway to the left when you enter the building.

Sign up at this link: https://journeyscrossing.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/406/responses/new

Please note:

1. Attendance: NEXT has been designed in a way that it makes it easy for you to complete all 4 steps. If you find you are unable to attend class during your regular time you may come back the following month for the class you missed.

2. Regarding children 5th grade and under: The Next experience is an environment for adults and teens only. Please use our children's programs for a fun and educational experience geared specifically for them as well as our Nursery. This will help preserve the adult content of some of our table discussions.

3. Dogs/pets. To respect people with pet allergies and eliminate distractions, no animals are permitted at Next other than your own service animal (Wearing proper identification/fully trained).

Don't anticipate a stale class, taking notes all the time. These sessions will be filled with laughs, new friends, and training on how to follow Jesus in the 21st century. We are looking forward to getting to know you!
