Women’s Oasis is a monthly gathering that you can join in at any time. We meet in the Fellowship Hall on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM (next meeting November 7 led by Lisa Lamb). Every month, we will gather for fellowship, teaching, discussion, and prayer! This fall, we will be looking at the Mothers of Jesus—the five women who appear in the gospel of Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus. For more info, contact Pastor Molly.

Are you or someone you know dealing with grief? Join us on Sunday, October 13 at 2:00 PM in Room 101 for GriefShare. GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. This class will be taught by Ray cobb and Beth Murphy.

We will be studying the book of Exodus! Every week, we open a chapter of scripture with curiosity, expectation, and humor, and we would love to have you join us! We meet on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM in room 206 and via Zoom. Contact Pastor Molly to learn more and get on the email list or to get the zoom link.

Join our amazing TGC Men's Ministry as they gather on Friday mornings for six weeks to enjoy a time of Bible study together from 6:30-8:00am in room 100. Rich Lamb will be helping to lead discussions from his book, Personal Leadership: Navigating Life’s Turns and Disappointments. Coffee will be provided. Please join us for all six sessions or for any that you can. You will be glad you did!

Led by Rich Lamb, this series of Bible studies on leadership topics is a sequence of inductive discussions attending to the texts but also getting very practical regarding how to improve our servant leadership and gentle influence in whatever settings we are called on to lead and invest in the lives of others. Please join us after the service (after grabbing enough of a bite to eat during the fellowship time to stave off hunger while we dig in to the word for approximately 75 minutes). Click to hear Rich describe this class in more detail. Contact Rich with questions.
