Study of Scripture is an important part of our relationship with Jesus and God’s people

 

Nursery
We are not currently staffing the nursery but it is still available. We ask that young children not be left unsupervised. It is expected that the room will be picked up prior to leaving. We still encourage parents to have their children in worship, but if you need to change a diaper or are too distracted yourself, feel free to use the nursery during worship to decrease the stimuli.
 
Preschool and Elementary Youth Children’s Church/Sunday School
 
Weekly during the
10:30 a.m. worship service
(September – May)
 
The youth, 4 years old through 5th grade, will begin worship with their families, and after the Children’s Message, be dismissed with their teachers to experience the Word, or message of worship in a more age appropriate way. We will then return to worship as an entire congregation during the peace, so that our youth will still receive Communion/Prayers.

Sunday Bible Study
At 9:15 A.M.

Jesus is considered a master teacher. One reason for this is his masterful used of parables that people could remember.  These are stories people could identify with, and even though they were from everyday life, sometimes people did not       understand the meaning. 

We are beginning a study of parables in the Bible, with the intention of understanding what these parables may have meant then and today. 

Feb 5: The Sower and the Soils (Matthew 13:1-23; Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:1-15)

Feb 12: The Wheat and the Weeds (Matthew 13:24-29; 36-43)

Feb 19: The Mustard Seed (Matthew 13:31-32; Mark 4:30-33; Luke 13:18-19)

Feb 26: Jesus and Beelzebul, the Strong Man, and Good and Bad Trees (Matthew 12:22-37)

This class is held in the Digging Dunes Room.

MARTHA  TO  MARY  WOMENS’  BIBLE  STUDY

Sep-Dec and Feb-May on Monday Afternoons

All women are invited!

We are beginning our 2025 bible study on Monday, February 3, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at the Digging Dunes room at Ascension.

Our study will be Luke by Lisa Harper. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that     perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. Luke writes to highlight those seen as outliers and outcasts, those deemed misfits and unfit. Then he reveals to us the outrageous mercy of God.

Lisa Harper has 30+ years of church ministry and leadership. She is also the author of multiple books and bible studies. Lisa lives south of Nashville, Tennessee and is the proud mother of daughter, Missy. This is an eight week study and participant books are $10. This study has a little homework for participants each week.

We have moved our meeting time to 1:00 p.m.—2:30 p.m. (This time was preferred to our group.) We will not meet on February 24th and March 24th due to the meeting of the ELCA Saginaw Women’s Group. Our Bible Study will end on April 7, 2025.

Please contact Joyce Richardson at 989-274-6787 (call or text) to reserve your participant book.

Our Mary to Martha Women’s Bible Study is open to women of all ages, and stages of faith, members & non-members, as we seek a closer relationship with our Lord. We know that you’ll be blessed by God’s Word and fellowship with other women, and we’ll be blessed by your presence.
