Coming Up at Crystal Lake!
Men's Small Group
MEN’S SMALL GROUP
1ST AND 3RD MONDAYS 6:30PM
New study of “The Forge”! Jesus focused His time and attention on walking with God and making disciples. Shouldn’t we? In His wisdom, He chose to invest deeply in the lives of twelve men. He saw them, called them, taught them, saved them, then sent them into the world to bear witness to what He had done for them. Featuring clips from the recent movie, THE FORGE, this study will ignite your passion for knowing Christ personally, following Him sacrificially, obeying Him willingly, and helping others become disciples of Christ.

Ladies Small Group
LADIES SMALL GROUP
TUESDAYS 1:00 PM
Our fall study is “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World”! The life of a woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s feet…but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him…yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy. Joanna Weaver shows how all of us - Marys and Marthas alike - can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
