“‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.”
Ephesians 5:31-32

Our marriages reflect the glorious truth of the gospel. That’s why we give ourselves, by God’s grace, to grow as husbands and wives — so that Christ is honored in our love for one another. But this is no easy task.

Marriage is Difficult
God is Faithful
DIscipleship is Needed

We offer a course to help married couples refresh and refine their relationship. This course is designed for any couple who desires to grow — whether newlywed, empty-nester, or retired.

Pastor Mike and his wife, Lois, host and lead. Meetings will be held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month for 9 months beginning in September. Each couple who joins will take a “leave of absence” from their small group.

Are Small Groups Our Best Way Forward?

This past Sunday, the pastoral team announced that small groups are here to stay!

At our June members' meeting, they asked for our help in wrestling with the question, “Are small groups our best way forward?” This was a big question because, from the very beginning, we have organized our lives around big meetings and small meetings. Sundays and small groups. We love our small groups. This would be a big change.

However, we never stop evaluating and everyone's input was helpful. In the end it was clear that the best way to organize our life together in this next season is the way we've always done it: small groups but with an asterisk.

The asterisk is that changes are coming. We are discussing them with your small group leaders. There are holes we want to fill and areas where our small groups need to grow. If God has more for us, we aren’t going to leave anything on the table.

Thank you again for engaging us, trusting us, wanting what God wants, excelling at loving one another, and loving your church one small group at a time. May God continue to bless the "one another" ministry of Sovereign Grace Church.

Our prayer service is on Summer break next week. But mark your calendars now. We’ll be back at it on Tuesday, September 10th at 7:00pm. A monthly moment to pray and be prayed for.

“No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.”
Charles Spurgeon
