Fall Programs with Rev. Shawn

Men's Discipleship Group
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Our Men’s Discipleship Group is a welcoming space for men of all ages to gather around Scripture, reflect on life, and encourage one another in faith. We meet every third Friday morning from 8:30 to 9:30am in the Upper Room Café (formerly the parlor). This fall we will gather on September 19, October 17, November 21, and December 19. Each meeting is a time to open God’s Word, share honestly about our journeys, and discover what it means to live as faithful disciples in today’s world. Feel free to bring your own Bible as we dig in together and strengthen one another through fellowship, prayer, and conversation.

The Tools Psychology Group
A Psychology Book & Practice Social Group
Bi-weekly Fridays · 6:00–7:00pm (hangout until 8:00pm) · Upper Room Café

This fall we’ll be reading The Tools by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels, exploring how simple psychological practices can help us face challenges, find meaning, and live with greater freedom. Along the way, we’ll reflect on Jungian principles and share how these tools can be applied in everyday life. Each session includes open conversation, practical exercises, and time to connect socially. Feel free to stay afterward to hang out and continue the conversation until 8:00pm.

Link to purchase the book: The Tools on Amazon.

Bible Study: Revelation
This fall we will be looking at the book of Revelation together in our Sunday Bible study. We meet every week from 11:15am to 12:15pm in the Upper Room Café, where we gather to explore Scripture, ask questions, and grow in faith. Revelation is one of the most powerful and often misunderstood books of the Bible, filled with rich symbolism and deep hope for the church. Whether you are brand new to Bible study or have read Revelation many times before, you’ll find this group to be a welcoming space to share insights, wrestle with meaning, and listen for how God continues to speak through these sacred words. Bring your Bible, an open heart, and join us as we journey through Revelation together this fall.
