June's Book of the Month: "Growing Together" by Melissa Kruger
We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop relationships that help us grow in the Christian life. Spiritual mentoring offers a way for younger believers and more mature Christians to grow together through intentional discipleship and accountability. If you’re looking for a place to start, Melissa Kruger presents a guide for discipleship conversations that span a variety of topics for spiritual growth. Each lesson encourages both mentor and mentee to focus on the hope of the gospel as they learn together from the truth of God’s word.
This Week's Classes
Sunday School Classes
Membership Matters: We will be having a New Members Class during the Sunday School hour. If you are interested in Membership at Big Woods, please join Pastor Aaron in Classroom 2
Male and Female, He Created Them: Join us this Sunday as we explore God’s beautiful design for humanity and what it means to be created in His image. Through Scripture, discussion, and encouragement, we’ll discover how God created each person with purpose, value, and identity. Come ready to learn, grow, and be reminded that every life is intentionally made by our Creator! This class will be taught by Matt Trumball and Matt McDermit in Classroom 3.
The Feasts and Offerings of Leviticus: Step into the rich symbolism and meaning behind the feasts and offerings found in Leviticus! From burnt offerings to the Passover feast, each command pointed God’s people toward worship, thanksgiving, forgiveness, and remembrance. Join us this Sunday as we explore how these sacred practices revealed God’s holiness, provided ways for His people to draw near to Him, and ultimately pointed forward to Christ. This class will be taught by Pastor Robbie in the MPR
Our June Media of the Month is Simply Put
