On Purpose Book Study (January 2025)
Wednesdays, January 8 – 29, from 1 PM – 2:30 PM
Pastor Ellen will facilitate this upcoming book study. We are hungry for a sense of purpose, direction, and calling in our lives. That’s as basic an ingredient to the human experience as they come. We want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We want to participate in something that has eternal merit and lasting impact. We do not want to live a shallow, hollow existence. We yearn for deeper meaning, for deeper purpose within our lives. We want to be more than we are.
In "On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion," authors Magrey deVega, Sam McGlothlin, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb help us see God's purpose for our lives, how to open ourselves to God's voice, and how to take the first or next step to follow God's call. As you read this book and explore your life alongside others, you’ll learn how to channel your passions, hear God’s voice, and live the life you were meant to live.

Please plan to attend the January Women’s Gathering program presented by Karen Weber to discover how Jesus provides us with the perfect model of friendship. “Some people come into our lives and quietly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same” (Source Unknown).
