Carmel Small Groups

Genesis

THURSDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 – 11:00am

Did you know that the first few words of our Bible are extremely significant? “In the beginning God” presupposes the existence of one eternal God. In the following sentences, we learn that this God is responsible for the creation of the Earth and everything on it, including man and woman, whom He created in His image. At the time Genesis was written, several other creation stories existed that depicted gods at war with one another, creating humans for the sole purpose of serving them. Imagine yourself as a pagan woman living in the Ancient Near East and hearing the story of this God for the first time. Through the story of creation, you learn about a God who is eternal and powerful. In response to human sin, you learn about a God who is both judge and redeemer. Through the story of Abraham and the patriarchs, you learn about a God of covenant faithfulness who intends to bless the nations. And finally, through the story of Joseph, you learn about this God’s sovereignty and providence. Join us this fall and spring as we seek to learn as much as we can about the One True God of the universe through the stories in Genesis.

Held by Hope – Miscarriage & Infant Loss

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS @ 6:25 – 7:30pm

In this study, women who have experienced the deep sorrow of miscarriage and baby loss will find a safe place to walk alongside one another in their journey of heartbreak. For many who feel unseen and alone in their grief, this study will gently point to the unshakable truth of Scripture: God sees you, knows you, loves you, and tenderly cares for you. Through the beautiful promises of Psalm 139, we’ll discover how God brings comfort, assurance, protection, and purpose—even in the midst of sorrow. You are not alone. We see you, and we will walk with you through this journey.
