Join us for these weekly classes that offer solid Bible teaching that is dynamic, interesting, and helpful! Choose from 1-3 different classes each semester.
This Semester: Spring 2025
Jan 5 – April 27, 2025
1) Loving the Ones Who Drive You Crazy – Loving people is hard. Loving people who drive you crazy is harder. However, in John 17:21-24, Jesus prays that our unity within the church would reflect the unity of the Trinity. Since unity within the church declares Christ’s Messiahship, we must love each other well. Despite our different personalities, cultures, political/social opinions, views on worship, or any other differentiating characteristic, unity in the church is essential. We encourage you to join us for an 8 week study based upon Jamie Dunlop’s, Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy. We will consider 8 truths from Rom. 12-15 that show us how to find God-exalting unity with those in the church whom we struggle to love. This class will be co-taught by Pastor Mike Notary and Chris Riedy, Gym-South.
2) Daniel (Part 1 of 2) – The book of Daniel is one of the major prophets of the Old Testament and in many ways provides the most sweeping view of world history spanning from the Babylonian empire through the time of the establishment of the kingdom of the Son of Man. As a Jew under Gentile captivity and exile, God granted Daniel insight into the details of His plan for world history as it relates to Israel and the nations. The revelations in Daniel provide a primary key to the overall study of biblical eschatology and is essential to understanding the book of the Revelation. Through Daniel’s life and writing, God demonstrates that He is sovereign over every detail in world affairs and will bring about the manifest, visible and powerful kingdom of His Son on earth in the great climax of the history of this earth. The earthly reign of King Jesus will stand superior to any kingdom expressed under fallen man and He will have dominion over all of the earth. This class will be co-taught by Elder Scott Holwick and Tom Pagliughi, Gym-North. Class Notes & Recordings Available Here

KINSHIP GROUPS
Meet Every-Other Sunday Evening
September – May
Kinship Groups offer a great way to connect with others and build lasting relationships with families in our church. They are small groups (10-15 people on average), a microcosm of our church, that meet bi-weekly from September – May for the purpose of sharing our faith and life issues, and engaging in “one-anothering” as prescribed in Scripture in a way not possible in a larger group setting. Normally, this is done as we meet in various homes for Bible discussion, fellowship, prayer, and outreach ministries. If you are currently not involved in a Kinship group, please REGISTER HERE. Questions can be directed to elders Travis Schanely and Scott Holwick.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY
Wednesdays, 6:30 – 7:30pm
September – May
A weekly time of Bible Study & Prayer in the sanctuary on Wednesday nights, September through May. Each gathering includes a time of singing and Bible study, as well as time spent in prayer as we lift up the needs and praises of our church family, community and nation. Led by various pastors and elders. Everyone is welcome to participate!
GRIEFSHARE
Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:30 pm
A GriefShare group is typically held each winter/spring. For specific dates this season, check the church calendar, or contact the church office: [email protected], 610-868-5501. GriefShare is a support group that is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. If you are grieving the loss of someone dear, please consider joining us.
SENIOR FELLOWSHIP LUNCH
Third Thursdays, 12-2pm
The Senior Fellowship is for those age 55+, and offers great times of fellowship, study, singing, eating, and fun! Our lunches are held on the third Thursday of the month, 12-2pm, September through May. We enjoy a time to eat together, share a devotional from God’s Word, take prayer requests and pray, and have discussions/presentations. All you need to bring is yourself and a bag lunch. Dessert & drinks will be provided. Also, feel free to bring a friend! Meets in Room 2. For more information please feel free to contact the leader: Phil Norris.
