If you aren’t already connected at Mars Hill, now’s the time! During the Winter Quarter from January 14th through March 11th, you can simply show up on Wednesdays at 7:00pm at the Ballard Campus and participate in a Connect Bible Study. This time will include a brief teaching from Scripture from Pastor Mark or Pastor Bubba followed by small group discussions. Our hope is that these small groups will eventually launch into the Ballard neighborhood as Community Groups.

At the same time, Pastor Mike and Pastor James will be leading Redemption Groups. Redemption Groups are for those facing difficult and seldom-discussed struggles, like abuse, addiction, and trials of all sorts. It is a time for growing in knowledge of how God changes our lives by the Gospel. Registration is required to participate in these groups. Simply email redemption@marshillchurch.org for more details.

And finally, to ensure that all families can participate in these events, Children’s Ministry and Youth Ministry will meet as well.

So there you have it. We’ve eliminated as many excuses as possible to make getting connected not only beneficial, but pain-free. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday nights as we continue to learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

Annette Schuster offers a profoundly sensitive, wise, and useful map to navigate the unique waters that parents, leaders, children’s ministry workers, and others must face when trying to protect the children, organizations, employees, volunteers, and families in their care. This is a free seminar but you must register to attend. Follow this link to register: Kids Need to Know. For more information e-mail lakecitykids@marshillchurch.org.
