All are invited to the Lenten study “The Easter Experience”, which is a six–episode DVD-guided small group Bible study, centered around the passion and resurrection of Christ.  It’s an opportunity to see the challenges and issues of life we face every day in a new light, and to discover God’s guidance and strength. The “Easter Experience” is a journey that will deepen your relationship with Jesus while strengthening your relationship with members of your small group and others.


For six Wednesdays, beginning on February 24th, we will have dinner at 6:00pm in Fellowship Hall, then view the video presentation after which we will go to our small groups.  Dinners will be made by the various church committee’s for a free will offering. Child care will also be available.

The six sessions are divided into six different themes.  They are:
