2020 Discipleship: Growing Together While We’re Apart We face many challenges during this pandemic, and one of them is staying connected with God and each other. Do you long for good fellowship and face-to-face conversations? Do you want to meet with a small group for prayer, sharing, and encouragement? Do you want to grow deeper in your faith? Do you want to better understand God’s Word in light of the challenges we’re facing in our world today—challenges like racism, why does God allow suffering, etc.? Do you long for something more to help you keep growing in your faith and relationship with Christ?  If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, please contact Pastor Alice (alicewolfe@love-first.org or 740-653-3330) to learn more about participating in or leading an online group. We would like to start a variety of online small groups to meet the needs of the people. By God’s grace, we can keep growing together (in our relationships with God and each other) while we’re apart!

Crossroads Community  ONLINE:  Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. Meets online (via Zoom) each Tuesday, at 7:00 p.m. We enjoy a time of fellowship, checking in with each other, praying, and a worshipful, interactive, and relevant Bible study to help us live out our faith in our world today.We will continue meeting online through the end of 2020.
