Small Group Studies 

M.O.R.A

MORA is "alive and well"; we have continued to meet throughout the summer.  Typically, 6 gents attend meetings which continue on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month.  Discussion topics have generally followed the index found in God's Words of Life for men; subjects such as authentic manhood, character, commitment, eternal life, forgiveness, anger, friendship, faithfulness, stress, love, hope, integrity, etc.  Discussions are typically wide-ranging and involve sharing life experiences (and life's lessons).  Over the past year or so, the men of MORA have evolved to the point were honesty, empathy and mutual respect have resulted in a bond of friendship which each of us values greatly.  

Earlier this summer members participated in an outreach project which involved sharing life and career experiences with young residents at the Devereux residential facility in Glenmoore.  We also enjoyed a night of fun and food watching the Reading Phillies play a doubleheader.

We are currently exploring various devotional texts to determine which one will use as our discussion guide beginning later this fall.

We very much like to expand our small group to include more men of retirement age at Fairview and in the greater Glenmoore community.

Women's SMALL GROUP 

Get ready for womens' groups to resume

BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2018 // BOTH TUESDAY MORNING and WEDNESDAY EVENING GROUPS will begin The Word of the Lord: Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Prophets by Nancy Guthrie
(The last of the series Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament)

This is an in-depth study of the Prophetic Books in the Old Testament, with the goal of understanding them in the way that Jesus himself taught the disciples to read and understand the Old Testament: with him at the center. 

THIS WEEK // The Tuesday Morning Group will resume on September 4th with a time of fellowship at 9:30 a.m.  We will begin our new study with a DVD Introduction on September 11th. 

The Wednesday Evening Group will resume on September 19th at 7:00pm in the Parlor.

Check out the website for a complete listing of All Small Group Opportunities.

Opportunities to Serve

 With the kickoff of fall, many of you are returning or creating to "normal" routines.  Prayerfully consider where you can serve and share the love of God with others.  

September Collection

Let's help start the school year off right for local kids!

For September let’s turn our focus to items that can be used for lunch, either suitable for a packed lunch or for lunch at home.  We are once again setting a goal of 100 items for the month of September.  We came very close to our 100 breakfast items goal for August with 71 items.  Donations can be dropped in the box located in the church foyer, next to the coffee bar.
