The Global Outreach Team is putting together a group to cook dinner at the “D” Street Homeless Shelter (Merced) on Monday, August 24th, from 5 pm to 7 pm. Will you consider volunteering to help cook or serve? If you have a heart for the homeless or have questions about this ministry opportunity, please contact Corky Schroeder by text at 209.658.6339 or email at schroedercorky@gmail.com.

We are offering two different days / times for this study, please see below for specifics.

Join us for a study on the book of James where a performative culture, faith is often spoken but rarely lived. The book of James calls believers back to a faith that is active, obedient, and steadfast. The Steadfast Life Bible study shows how the gospel transforms the way we respond to trials, handle temptation, steward wealth, use our words, and depend on God through prayer. And, equips you to move beyond hearing God’s Word to doing it. As you explore the commands and teachings of James, you’ll learn how faith and works operate together, not for salvation but as evidence of a life changed by grace. Rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ, you grow in spiritual maturity, persevere through hardship, and follow Jesus with consistency and conviction in every season of life.

Join us for "Resolving Everyday Conflict" starting Thursday, September 3rd, at 7 pm as we learn how to communicate more effectively, forgive more freely and become peacemakers in or homes, our church and our community.  In this class, led by Brandon and Heather Friesen in their home, we will explore biblical principles for resolving everyday disagreements in a way that honors Christ, strengthens relationships, and brings peace instead of division. Conflict is a normal part of everyday life, but it doesn't have to damage our relationships. Whether it's with a spouse, family member, friend, coworker or fellow believer, God gives us practical wisdom for responding to conflict with grace, humility and truth. Space is limited to first 16 registrations, please register here (childcare is not available). Please email for questions / address: Brandon at info@livingstonhardware.com or Heather at heatherfreezin@gmail.com.

Calling all men! Join us for breakfast and a time of fellowship and learning as we dive into a series of teachings on what a biblical man looks like on Saturday, September 12th, at 8 am to 9:30 am in the Fireside Room. Our society and churches are longing for men to step into their God-given roles and lead their families and be strong leaders in their communities, and churches. We will be exploring what this looks like for us today by examining what the Word of God says about it.

Join us for 2nd Sunday Prayer on Sunday, September 13th, from 5:30–6:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room. Together, we'll spend time seeking God's presence and lifting up our church, our community, our nation, and the needs of those around us through prayer. Whether you have a prayer request, a heart to pray for others, or simply want to grow in your prayer life, everyone is welcome. We hope you'll join us for this meaningful time together. For questions, contact Scott Speidel at 209.628.6521.
