WEEKLY REFLECTION
DISCIPLESHIP & COMMUNITY
Dear FBC family,
Happy New Year! As we continue in this strange season of restrictions I’m thankful for the technology that allows us to gather in a different way. I especially enjoyed seeing everyones faces at the online church-wide meetings and Christmas gatherings.
Looking ahead to the coming year, we are planning to host more online Growth Classes. These classes are places to help us to grow as followers of Jesus by going deeper into Scripture, growing in the practices of the Christian life, and learning how to join God’s mission in our world today.
Upcoming Classes
In February, I will be leading two classes on How to Prepare a Bible Study. These classes are for both for those who lead Connection Groups, as well as for those who have never led a Bible Study before. Together we will look at a passage of scripture and develop observation, interpretation and application questions related to that text.
These classes will be held on February 3rd and 10th from 7-8:30pm over Zoom.
If you’d like to join, please email me at .
Watch for more classes to be announced over the coming months!
Warmly,
Rebecca Thornber
Minister of Discipleship & Community
