Carmel Small Groups

1 Thessalonians

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS @ 1:15 – 2:45pm

This study of 1 Thessalonians invites us to view the Christian life as a long-distance race–one that requires endurance, faith, and hope. Paul’s letter encourages believers to stand firm in their faith through trials and to become people whose lives are worthy of imitation. He reminds the Thessalonians–and us–of the powerful example of their faith, their salvation secured by God, and the hope for what is to come. Through this study, we are challenged to pursue holiness and love, all while resting in the assurance of God’s faithfulness.

We’d love for you to join us for this discussion oriented, Scripture-based study!

• Leaders: Melissa Myers, Catherine Nations and Chris Salter
• Dates: 9/10-10/29
• Time: 1:15 – 2:45pm

1, 2, 3 John & Jude

THURSDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:30am

God speaks through His written Word and we are so excited to explore these timeless letters that HE has given us! Written for the body of Christ, we will see in 1, 2, & 3 John how Christianity stands or falls on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Come join us in safe community as together we read this inspired Word of God encouraging us to press on in our faith, to avoid lies and pitfalls, and to walk in community with other Christ followers.

In Jude, we will learn that as a current generation of Christ followers we must know biblical truth and recognize deception. We must resist it. We must beware of those who deceive the church and distort God’s grace. We must contend for the faith.

Completing the homework and regular attendance is highly encouraged. We are excited to open scripture with you around tables of women who desire to grow deeper in the knowledge of, and deeper in love with, their Savior Jesus Christ! Join us with Bible, journal and pen in hand for digging deeper into the truths of God’s Word!

Awaken: Nehemiah

TUESDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:00am

As mothers, we are builders and crafters… nurturers, lifegivers, and sustainers. Brick by brick, day by day, we stand in our place and build. Sometimes with joy and gratitude, sometimes amidst fear and through tears. Sometimes with clarity, and often with questions and doubts. So we often feel overwhelmed. We wonder if we are doing what we are supposed to do. Are we doing too much? Not enough? Should we be doing what she is doing? Are we missing God’s best along the way? Are we listening to His leading? Or are we just exhausted by the daily tasks?

God has given you a specific assignment in this season and it matters. This fall, in the pages of Nehemiah, we will discover how God helps us discern our next step. How He makes our mission clear. How He takes the rubble and struggles in our lives to restore and rebuild even stronger foundations–in our families and with the people He has assigned us to love and serve.

Who has given you to love? Where has He assigned you? It’s simple, you were created for it… and it’s beautiful. Eyes open and gaze set, let’s walk with Jesus into a new season with zeal, obedience and purpose. When we live a life of meaning and give our lives away in love, we get abundant free and full life. It’s time.

Join us for a Bible study community that brims with joy and life. Awaken is designed especially for mothers with children birth-young adult. Limited childcare is provided. Seats are limited and early registration is highly encouraged.
