SUNDAY GROUPS
Group ID: SUN 1 Type: Open (childcare provided, one-time fee of $5 per child)Topic: Christian MarriageStudy Material: Love and Respect, by Emerson Eggerichs
Psychological studies affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. This revolutionary message, featured on Focus on the Family, is for anyone, whether wanting to stay happily married or in marital crisis.Date/Time: 2nd and 4th Sundays (6:00 – 7:30 PM)Location: Bridgeway Church, KidsWay ClubhouseGroup Leaders: Chris & Kathy FontanaContact Info: [email protected]

Type: Open (childcare provided, one-time fee of $5 per child)Topic: Christian LivingStudy Material: Goliath Must Fall, by Louie Giglio
It’s likely you have a threatening giant in your life…an adversary or stronghold that’s diminishing your ability to live a full and free life. Frozen in the grip of rejection, fear, anger, comfort, or addiction, we lose sight of the promise God has for our lives. Demoralized and defeated, we settle for far less than his best.God has a better plan for you, a plan for you to live in victory. That’s why he has silenced your giant once and for all. The key to living free from our giants is not better slingshot accuracy, but keeping our eyes on the one and only giant-slayer—Jesus. Put your hope in him and watch Goliath fall.Date/Time: 2nd and 4th Sundays (6:00 – 7:30 PM)Location: Bridgeway Church KidsWay StudioGroup Leader: Carolee Eason & Jessica AvilesContact Info: [email protected]

Group ID: MON 1Type: Women (childcare provided, one-time fee of $5 per child)Topic: Christian LivingStudy Material: Mountains of Spices by Hannah Hurnard
A sequel to the book (and growth group) Hinds’ Feet on High Places, Mountains of Spices is an allegory of the nine spices mentioned in Song of Solomon compared with the nine fruits of the Spirit. This story can take your current situations and put them in perspective, for “Every trial, every test, every difficulty and seemingly wrong experience through which you may have to pass, is only another opportunity granted to you of conquering an evil thing and bringing out of it something to the lasting praise and glory of God.”

Type: Open Topic: Christian LivingStudy Material: When God Whispers Your Name, by Max Lucado
Are you ready to hope again? Are you ready to let go of doubt and sorrow? Just listen carefully. God is whispering your name. Maybe that's hard to believe. Maybe you just can't imagine that the One who made it all thinks of you that personally -- that He keeps your name on His heart and lips. Let these stories remind you of the God who knows your name. Some of the stories are from the Bible. Some are drawn from everyday life. Most are about people who are lost ... or weary ... or discouraged -- just like you may be. If you let them, they will tell the story of your life. And the story of a God who speaks into your situation.
