Bible Study
​
Bible study draws us closer to God and helps us better understand Him, His Word and His love. Through a stronger relationship with God, members have discovered how to build better and stronger relationships with others — at home, work, school and in our communities. Whether you are discovering God's Word for the first time or have studied the Bible over a lifetime the study of these fantastic writings will enrich your life and help you to make the right choices when you are faced with those all important questions.
Help Thru Prayer
​
There isn’t a mysterious formula or secret to prayer. The Lord desires to connect with us, encourage us, and make us more like him. Still, there are times when it’s helpful to have something that will put our mind, heart, and emotions in a place where we can process what we’re going through in prayer.
The emotional ups and downs of any medical journey can make it easy to go into survival mode. During these times, it’s so important to engage your heart. This group provides questions to help you unpack areas where the Lord wants to meet you and minister to you in grace.
The truths of the Bible are instrumental in finding and holding onto hope. There are stories that help us to relate to God during times of pain, stress, or hurt. There are pieces of wisdom that help us to keep perspective. There is also joyous praise to offer to the Lord and lift our spirits.
One of the challenges with prayer can be simply knowing where to start. Circumstances can overwhelm us, and leave us at a loss for words, so this prayer group also includes starting point prayers to guide you in those times.
When we engage the Lord in prayer, He loves to meet us and give us His hope. As you walk through your journey, you can record your answered prayers. Answered prayers are anchors for our soul and powerful reminders of the faithfulness of God.
