Forged Men’s Group

Welcome!  We try to focus our group on biblical ways to become a more Godly man, and how we can become better providers and leaders for our families and others around us.  The word “Forged” comes from Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend”.  Our average night usually consists of sharing a meal, then watching a video series from RightNow Media.  We then have a discussion about the topics that were covered in the video.  Our group is mainly outdoorsy young men ages 25-35, but we do have some members much younger and older.  Unfortunately we do not currently have any form of childcare.  Thank you for taking a look at our group.  We are always welcoming and thankful for new members.

Faith Seeking Sisterhood

No matter where we are in life or what season we may be in, we surround ourselves with like minded women and let God mold and shape us to be more like Him together.

The Iron Club (Proverbs 27:17)

As Iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.  (Proverbs 27:17)

We are a motley bunch of adults.  Some of us still have small children in the house, some of us still have adult children living in the house (sigh), some of us are grandparents (awesome)!  So, as you can see, just about anybody would be a good fit in our group.  We like to meet on Sunday after the first service because it fits into our schedule and those with kids are able to drop them off at First Kids.

Molly’s Life Group

Our group is starting the book “When You Pray” in January.  We want to pray more, listen more, and be obedient to what God is telling us.  The book has 7 chapters so it will take us 7 months to complete it.  For each chapter, there are 5 days of reading to do.  You have a whole month to get the reading done so it’s easy.  At our meetings, we gather in my great room to visit, pray, watch the video that goes with the chapter, and discuss it.   No pressure to talk at our meetings.  You can totally just sit and listen.  And, if you’re not a reader don’t let that stop you from joining our group.  We’d still love to have you and you can just watch the video with us.  We all take turns bringing a dessert to be enjoyed by all after the meeting.  That always seems to happen in the kitchen.  The link to purchase the book is below.
