Parenting Through the Phases study is a small group series that will help you discover what's changing about your kid as they grow into the person God has created them to be. As you know, your kid is changing every week! Just as you begin to figure them out, they shift or move on to a new rhythm, a new habit, and a new opinion. It can make the responsibility to shape a child's faith and character feel overwhelming. But it doesn't have to. Join us as we talk about six things your kid needs most, and four conversations you'll want to have with your kid starting today. Don't miss out!

IGNITE YOUR FAITH
WEDNESDAY | 6:00-7:30PM | VIDEO BIBLE STUDY |
LEADER: MONIQUE THOMPSON
Frequency: Weekly | Location:
Creekside & Zoom Online | Duration: 8 Weeks
Sometimes we need a fresh word or promise for the season we find ourselves in-something that ignites our faith in the face of fear, doubt, loneliness, insecurity, or overwhelming circumstances. In this powerful study, author and speaker Laurie Short mines the Scriptures and guides you through insights and promises from 40 verses we often overlook. Digging in to these "in between" verses, she unearths fresh wisdom, guidance, and encouragement that will help you seek and experience God in new, dynamic ways. From trusting God's timing, to not worrying about the future, to holding on to faith when things look dark, the hidden insights found in these sessions will help you navigate the challenges that cross your path, breathe new life into your weary soul, and ignite your faith once again.
ENJOYING JESUS
THURSDAY | 9:00-10:30AM | VIDEO BIBLE STUDY |
LEADER: MONIQUE THOMPSON
Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside Church | Duration: 12 Weeks
Enjoying Jesus is intended to be immensely practical. The spiritual
disciplines are where theology meets everyday life, but only you can put
them into practice in your life. Our hope is that you will try each of
the twelve disciplines we’ll cover. The spiritual disciplines aren’t
meant to simply be studied, they are meant to be put into action. Their
power is in their practice.
LADIES JOURNALING
SATURDAY | 9:00-10:30AM | BIBLE STUDY | LEADER: MONIQUE THOMPSON
Frequency: Twice a Month | Location: Creekside & Zoom (Hybrid) |
Duration: Ongoing
Journaling is an excellent way to both record and process what God speaks to us. It's also a useful tool to use at a later time, to reflect on and review some of the 'gems' that you have received. Without writing them down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! And while journaling is a very personal time with the Lord, you may want to share some of your journaling with your small group or mentors. Through discussion, you may be able to look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain new insight and encourage others & receive encouragement from others. This group is for all women whether you have journaled before or not. It is a casual time to get together twice a month and read a passage together, write about what we are reading and then if comfortable share and discuss what we have read. All you need to bring is a Bible, pen/pencil, journal, and an open heart.
