The Rest of God Bible Study with Becky Smith
Becky Smith will be leading a summer Bible Study called The Rest of God which is based on the book written by March Buchanan.
Many of us have endless demands and stifling daily routines. This is why the Sabbath is essential to our full humanity and faith, a rhythm of work and rest set by God that if restored to our lives will bring prolonged life, enriched relationships, increased fruitfulness, and abundant joy. With this book, author Mark Buchanan reminds us that Sabbath is about much more than going to church on Sunday. It's about the much-needed time to be still. God, knowing that and knowing how easily we might neglect it, made it a command. Join us as we begin our own journey of restoration and renewal!
Join us! Our First meeting will take place on a Saturday and the rest of the meeting dates will be Sundays. Meeting Dates: 5/3, 5/18, 6/8, 7/13, and 7/27. Time: 6 PM. Location: Room 208.

"I was born without arms. But God is glorified in my difference and has given me a thriving life. God has given me the opportunity and call to speak to more than 200,000 people every year – sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as what I have learned being born visibly different. God has shaped my perspective to pursue a full life because I am defined by Him, and His grace rather than seeing myself as the sum of two empty sleeves or finding my value in the eyes of the critical opinions of the world. It is my joy to encourage others, and provide them with the hope of Christ."
