1st Thursday Connect

1st Thursday Connect, our monthly women’s gathering, is coming up November 2. Bandana Bonanza is the evening’s theme. Throw on a bandana and join us for a campfire kind of evening. We will enjoy foil dinners, Bible teaching from the book of Leviticus, fun activities, friendship, and resources for reading the Bible both personally and Side by Side.

 
 

We have been reading Leviticus in October and will read from the Psalms (42-94) in November. Resources to read along are available at 1st Thursday, online, and in the church foyer. They include handouts to help you read personally and also Side by Side. Ask someone to read the Bible with you this month or sign up if you would like to be paired with another woman to read and discuss selected Psalms together.

 

If you would like to read Psalms with a group on Sunday mornings, meet in the lower fireside room at New Life Church West Linn at 10:45. During the second church gathering, Amy Crooks will be there to facilitate group Side by Side Bible Reading. Pop in whenever you can make it!

 

Scripture Memory

Memorizing God’s Word is one of the most effective ways to grow as a Christian. If you would like to memorize 1 John with us this year, a memorization booklet can be made by picking up materials at 1st Thursday or printing your own from the website. Find the resources online.

 

Start anytime. Go at your own pace. Do it with a friend. Carry your booklet and memorize while you walk. Even if you don’t get it perfectly, the process will be good for your soul.
