Genesis – through Jewish eyes

Crosstown

Wednesday at 7:00 PM

The Book of Genesis, the first book of Torah. Over six weeks we will journey through Genesis from the creation of the earth to the time of Noah. We will view the book through an Eastern readers lens - after all the book was long understood by people in a very different culture to us and that will reveal the 'lullaby' effect of how we know these early books of the Hebrew Bible. We will use the BEMA podcast as a resource and the group is designed to be a safe place to ask the questions who have always had; to see everything we speak about in scripture and hopefully excite you to read on beyond Noah and see how amazing our God and His word was then, is now and will be foreever. Come join us!

Global Heart & Global Food

Apple Valley

Friday at 6:00 PM

About once a month, we will meet at an ethnic restaurant in the Twin Cities metro area to share a meal from the cuisine of an international culture. As we swap stories, ideas, and encouragements for how we each can live on mission with a cross-cultural mindset, no matter where we may live, we know God will expand our hearts for people made in His image around the world! We will also take time to pray for the nation/region of origin for the restaurant's ownership. Join this group to receive updates for the next scheduled dates and locations of global meals! We will try to meet on different days of the week to accommodate a variety of schedules.

Intentional Fatherhood

Apple Valley

Wednesday at 7:00 PM

We live in a world that alone will not produce Godly men. Our children, and more specifically our sons, are culturally acclimatized to "never grow up" and live the life of a boy in a man's body. Living this first hand with my own son, I refuse to let the world dictate his future outcome. The goal of this group is for a small group of men to "intentionally" disciple our sons to become the Godly men the Lord calls them to be. Utilizing Jon Tyson's book "The Intentional Father" as a guide, this is a men's group for fathers of boys between the ages of 12-19 who are interested in helping their boys step into becoming a man of God.

M.o.M (Moms on Mission) | Saturdays | Madison Ziegenhagen

Minnetrista

Saturday at 9:00 AM

M.o.M is a small group designed for mothers to come and do life together. We will meet in our homes year round, every other week, taking time off for summer break and winter holidays & each season will bring a new topic or study to work through. Kids are welcome to play while the mom's meet. Our hope is that this is a place to spend time with new and old friends - focusing on authenticity, deep connection, and spiritual growth. During the spring season, we will work through the study "Find Your People" by Jennie Allen, a 7 week series featured on RightNow Media. There is a study guide available on Amazon that is encouraged, but not required. This study is focused on building community - God designed His people to do life together, but we live in a dissociated world that caters to loneliness. Our hope is that this study will break down any walls & provide a community-driven atmosphere for M.o.M moving forward. We can't wait to see you!
