SIMPLE CHRISTMAS
December 4 December 25
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go; take a
look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again with candy canes and
silver lanes aglow. Ready or not, Christmas is coming!! The celebration
of Christmas brings so many wonderful sights, smells and sounds. It can
also bring significant stress, busyness and frustration. Is it possible to enjoy
the silver lanes aglow and simply celebrate the joy of the birth of Jesus?
We think so. We invite you to join us for a Simple Christmas. We will take
four weeks to turn our hearts toward the celebration of the birth of Jesus
Christ. Christmas can be that simple.

Why attend an ABF?
In a larger church, it can be hard to know where to start CONNECTING with

others. Getting involved in an ABF will help you get to know other people and
let other people get to know you. Followers of Christ and those exploring the
Christian faith may desire to GROW in their faith and CONNECT with other
adults. ABFs facilitate your GROWTH in faith and in friendship with others.

A great pair of running shoes fits snugly on an athlete actively keeping their
body in shape. In the same way, the Bible reminds us that the church is like a
human body. God designed us to be spiritually healthy and full of vitality. It
takes the right tools like Connect Groups to keep the church in great shape.
Gods plan for us is to CONNECT and fit snugly together as a church family.
Made up of 10-14 people, Connect Groups meet about twice a month in
a relaxed atmosphere to develop caring relationships and GROW in faith
together. They run for approximately 2-3 months with open registrations twice
a year. Check the website for a list of Connect Groups, descriptions, meeting
times, availability and leaders' direct contact information for the groups you

Thursday PM | September 15 - November 17 | 7:00-9:00pm | $15
Are you restless in your spirit? Is your heart yearning for more to life, more

Gods Word has great hope for us. This study will help us go straight to
the Bible as we follow Abrahams life. It was a life full of twists and turns,
riches and losses, deceit and redemption, failure and success. His story
holds the key to satisfying a longing heart by embracing a God filled life.
Each session is designed to help you follow Abrahams steps toward
being Gods friend. If you are a veteran Bible student or just starting
to study the Bible, please join us! We will be learning together how to
understand what the Bible says to each of us. Our time in small groups
will keep you encouraged, connect your heart with other women and
draw us into community with each other. The study includes a 30 minute
video by Anne Graham Lotz and extended small group discussion time.
No study October 20. Childcare available upon preregistration for the
AM study only. $35 for one child / $10 for each additional child. Register
