Lenten All-Ages Study
Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.
This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.
Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.
Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.

Learning to use My Bible is a 6-week program for upper elementary students AND their parents to adventure through the Bible and learn important skills to discover God's great big love in this confusing and great big book. This class will work to lay the foundation for our kids to feel confident asking questions and learning more about God, while helping parents feel ready to walk alongside students in this journey!

January Big Idea
When something gets us down, we can rely on God to help us get back up. Then we can face any season of life with resilience. We will be practicing resilience as our Big Idea in Anona Kids, which reminds us that we can be tougher than you think, because we know that God is always with us, through the ups and downs.
