CANCELED: GOSPEL RESET - is the title of our new adult Bible Study on Sunday morning which meets from 9:30-10:30AM in the fellowship hall. Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching which may provide us opportunity to share the good news of Jesus. But how do we do that when the world around us has changed so much? The good news hasn’t changed. But how we communicate that good news is important. You’re invited to join the discussion.
CANCELED: SUNDAY SCHOOL - Sunday School and Jr High will study Exodus 17:1-7. In today’s “Waterworks” lesson, we learn about how God provided water from the rock. Having moved their camp from the wilderness of Sin to Rephidim, the Israelites face a new challenge—no water. Despite His daily food supply, the people doubt God’s ability to provide water for them and their livestock. Moses cries out to the Lord, who instructs him to strike the rock with his staff. Moses does so and water pours out, providing all that the people need. We learn that God satisfies all our needs. Our Bible memory verse is John 7: 37 [Jesus says,] “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” If you would like to receive an email with the Sunday School study link please contact sundayschool@goodshepherdfrankfort.org.
CANCELED: JUNIOR HIGH BIBLE STUDY - meets every Sunday from 9:30-10:30 in the lower level of the education wing. Junior High looks at each week's lesson addressing evidence to support what they believe and how this relationship with Jesus, the one true God, applies to their everyday life. All are welcome!
