3C's (coffee, community, CLASSES)

This fall, our church is exploring the Essential Tenets of our faith through the sermon series We Believe. This class will take those truths a step further by examining how they shape our everyday lives. Through honest questions, humble discussion, and the study of God's Word, we'll deepen our understanding of what we believe -- and why it matters.

Join us for a highly encouraging 10-week class based on the fantastic new book Capable: How to Teach your Kids the Strengths, Skills, and Strategies to Build Resilience by Christian counselors Sissy Goff and David Thomas. Instead of feeling the constant pressure to make our kids perfectly "happy" or to rescue them from every struggle, we will explore empowering, faith-filled ways to help them become resilient, adaptable, and capable. Whether you are in the thick of raising little ones, navigating the teenage years, or have a wealth of parenting experience to share with those coming up behind you, there is a seat at the table for you!
What to expect:
No Guilt, Just Grace: A welcoming, judgment-free space wehre we learn together.
Practical Tools: Empowering , everyday strategies to help your kids navigate stress and build resilience.
Deep Connections: Engaging, warm conversations designed to build friendships across all generations of our church family.
Come grow in your relationship with God, connect with other families, and leave feeling equipped and encouraged. We can't wait to see you there!

In this class, we discuss what living a life of worship looks like both as a church and individually. What does it mean to glorify and enjoy the triune of God revealed in Scripture?
We will discuss worship in the contects of Scripture, our Presbyterian and Reformed heritage, our denomination's view, and how each of those influence our worship at Bonhomme.
We will also take a look at some of the elements of worship such as the sacraments, teaching, prayer, scripture, meditation and song.

Empathy is something we all need. It is also something we all can give to others. People today are isolated, angry, lonely and misunderstood. But Christians are told that we fulfill the law of Christ by "bearing one another's burdens" (Gal 6:2). We are urged to "weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice." (Rom 12:15)
In Colossians Paul commands us to "put on compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience." All of these describe empathy. If we practiced empathy, it would be life changing, both for us and for those around us. Imagine a world where everyone's go to way fo relating is empathy. People would feel valued, cared for, and understood. That is what loving our neighbor looks like! The powerful and practical Stephen Ministries book The Gift of Empathy will guide us as we seek to make this a reality for our church, our homes and our community. Join us to learn practical ways to make a difference in  the lives of those around us.
The book will be available for purchase the first week of class. You don't have to have it , but it will enrich your learning.
