Description: We’re excited for this opportunity for young adults to connect: singles, marrieds, with or without kids ages 23-40-something. Abide & Thrive will be meeting Sundays, during equipping hour (same room as before, hallway near the kitchen). This will be Men and Women (18-40) together and we will be studying the book of Mark – no homework, the only thing needed is your Bibles. We are happy and excited to invite more people to join throughout the course of the study.
Our first Sunday back together is going to be September 17th and this study will be led by Wesley Boyl and Katie Taylor will help when needed.

Pray & Go is designed to provide convenient opportunities for us to participate in and experience the incredible power of prayer, along with action to go, in obedience to Jesus’ command.
