Join the summer book study: Ten Words to Live By by Jen Wilkin
You may have heard: “Christianity isn’t about rules, it’s about relationship.” But what if God’s commands are actually life-giving?
Ten Words to Live By offers a fresh, thoughtful look at the Ten Commandments, showing how they invite us to live in joyful freedom, to love God and others well, and to anticipate the day when God will be perfectly worshiped for eternity.
Here’s how it works:
When: Sundays after church, 12:15–2:00 PM on 7/27, 8/10, 8/17, & 8/24 (*no meeting on 8/3).
Where: Still finalizing location details - will be within close proximity to the school to make it easy after the service.
What if I’m traveling or not able to attend every week? No problem! People's schedules are busy in the summer, so even if you can’t make every session, come for the week or weeks you’re around.
Book Study Format: We'll discuss the book over the course of 4 weeks. Ahead of the week's meeting, you'll read the chapters and then at the meeting we'll use the end of chapter discussion questions to help guide conversation. While the content is rich, the chapters are short and the book is a quick read!
