SUNDAY ADULT ELECTIVES
Sundays, 10:05 – 11:00 am
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 2026
Jan 4 – Apr 26, 2026
1) Resisting Gossip – “Mark told me that our next adult elective is on gossip. He heard that our pastors think we’re childish and talk about each other too much. But, how is it gossip if we’re just telling people the truth about others?” The truth is, gossip is subtle and can creep into all of our hearts. Scripture calls us to recognize it, confront it, and put it to death for the good of the Body of Christ. Join us for this new class on, “Resisting Gossip: Winning the War of the Wagging Tongue,” as we learn what the Bible says about gossip and receive practical tools to pursue Christlike, life-giving speech. Taught by Pastor Mike and various teachers. Meets in gym-south.
2) 1 & 2 Thessalonians – Paul’s letters to the Thessalonian church offer guidance, encouragement, and reassurance to early believers. Their message still speaks powerfully to us today. Thought to be among the earliest New Testament writings, these letters remind us how to live faithfully as we look forward to Christ’s promised return. Join us as we explore these timeless truths and grow together in our Christian walk. Taught by Scott Holwick, Tom Pagliughi, Chris Riedy. Meets in 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.
PRAYER MEETING
Wednesdays, 6:30 – 7:30pm
September – May
A weekly meeting in the sanctuary on Wednesday nights, September through May. Each gathering includes a time of singing and a brief devotional, 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!
Note: For summer 2025, we will be meeting every-other week in Room 20 for the following dates:
June 4, 18, July 2, 16, 30, Aug 13, 27
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.
