New Sunday Morning Small Group Begins in January

December 15, 2009

It is important for people on the discipleship journey to be involved with a small group who can support their walk of faith.  For that reason, Kenwood offers small groups starting at various points during the year, and lasting different lengths of time.

A new Sunday morning Small Group study for adults will begin on Sunday, January 10, 2010.  The group will be reading the book The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Sterns.  If you would like to keep the book after the study, the cost will be $10.  The Hole in Our Gospel is the story of how a corporate CEO faced the struggle of how to fully serve God, and what he learned in the process.   It is a compelling call to live a life of justice as a Christ follower.

To sign up, call or e-mail the church office (main@kenwoodumchurch.org) so that books can be ordered.  To learn more about the book, visit http://www.theholeinourgospel.com/.

Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity

September 20, 2009

Worship and Small Groups begin October 18Enough cover art

We hope that you will join us at Kenwood October 18 through November 8 for a sermon series and small group opportunity entitled “Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity.” Our nation is experiencing what many have described as the “American Nightmare.” Increasing consumer debt, declines in savings, lower income growth, rising housing costs, and a volatile stock market are all contributing to economic insecurity.  We live in a society that tells us “you deserve it now,” whether or not we can afford it or really even need it.

Beginning October 18, we are going to explore what the Bible teaches us about financial management. We will do this in worship and in three opportunties for small group study.  We’ll look at what others have learned by working through financial challenges and watch some informative video clips. Each week we’ll be providing you with some tools you can use to assess your financial situation and develop a financial plan with a biblical foundation.

These are important issues that we cannot ignore. We hope you will join us as we look at how we can manage our financial resources and truly experience that God is “Enough.”

Small groups to explore these issues will be held at three different times, below.  E-mail the church office at main@kenwoodumchurch.org to sign up.

Sundays, 10 a.m., Room 104, Begins 10/18 for four weeks

Mondays, 10 a.m., Room 104, Begins 10/19 for four weeks

Thursdays, 7:30 p.m., Room 104, Begins 10/21 for four weeks
