They meet on the first Sunday of the month at 8:45am in Room D217. To get more information or ask questions, stop by the Engage Center on Sundays.

Grace Kids
In this week’s study, God speaks a message of warning through the prophet Nahum. The message was bad news for the people of Nineveh because they did not trust in the Lord. However, Nahum’s message was good news for the people of God. God promised that peace and good news were coming for them. He would destroy their enemies, the Assyrians. Through Jesus, God also gave us a message of peace and good news. Jesus came and called people to repent and believe in him. This is good news because only through faith in Jesus can we be saved from our sins. Only through Jesus can we find peace with God. Please pray for our kids to know how great God’s love is for them and respond to it with their whole hearts.
