SUNDAYS
Leaders: Kyle & Jennifer Siptroth
Location: Dagsboro
Audience: Married Couples
Meets: Begins on September 29, 2024
Time: 7:30pm-9pm
This is for marriages in their early to even more seasoned stages to reconnect and get rejuvenated. Re-engage brings couples together to learn about God’s design for marriage and apply biblical principles for building a healthy relationship. Our goal is to help you grow in your relationship with your spouse, with other couples, and with God. We will be meeting over the course of 11 weeks to cover important topics that are relevant to all marriages including how to manage conflict, how to communicate, and the power of forgiveness and grace. We will be utilizing the Re-Engage workbook and other resources to help understand God’s design for marriage. Each week we will dig into a new topic and supporting scripture that will help to uncover things about ourselves as individuals and about our spouses. You may learn something completely new about your spouse or perhaps you’ll be reminded of something that has been lost over the years. We are so excited about what God is going to do and how He will use this small group time to grow our marriages in a way that glorifies God.

MONDAYS
Register for True Spirituality
Leaders: Pret Dyer & Les Grow
Location: Ocean View
Audience: Men's Group
Meets: Begins Monday September 16, 2024
Time: 7:00-9:00pm
Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with Him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning His love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like His life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love and supernaturally responds to evil with good. Christians who live out this kind of lifestyle are what we call R12 Christians. God is willing to go deeper and grow you into a real disciple - are you ready? For additional information contact or Pret Dyer at 302-542-2543.

Meets: Begins Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm

Register for John 1-3: The Word Became Flesh
Different from the other three gospel accounts of Jesus’s life and ministry, the Gospel of John focused on the nature of Christ and how belief in Him leads to true life. Through the first three chapters of John we learn how we’re dependent upon God to help us believe in the name of Jesus and become His children and experience a well of abundant grace that never runs dry. To this day, Jesus continues to draw followers to Himself in the same ways He drew His first disciples. Jesus became like us so that we might become like Him.

When the group comes together, the discussion will focus on the parts that stood out to each one and discuss the reason. An outline will be provided with the relevant Scriptures. This is an exciting way to learn about the Life of Jesus and how it must have been for the disciples. The series does a great job of bringing the Bible to life. Whether you’ve been a believer for many years or just starting out on that spiritual journey…this is a good study for everyone. We will begin Wednesday Sept 18th with a review of Seasons 1-3 and then start with Episode 1 of season 4 after that the following week. Once we are done with Season 4 we are going to start over again and go through each episode from the beginning of Season 1.
