life is better in community
Sunday
As parents, it can often seem like our world is a snow globe, swirling with hundreds of activities, appointments, and schedules. It can be difficult to go beyond the boundaries of your own family with all of its wants, demands, and eccentricities and connect with others or even connect with God. Sunday Family Fun Day is a group designed for families with small(ish) children to gather, share parenting and relational tips, and connect using sermon-based discussion questions (no required reading!). We also will have a snack potluck each week (sweet and savory).
Sunday @4pm, bimonthly

Sisters in Christ is an ongoing small group for women. We share with each other, pray together
and spend time learning more about the Lord. We gather to show love and acceptance to one
another as we read and meditate on the Word. We desire to overflow with the love of Jesus so we can go out into the world and be a light in the darkness.
We will study Acts of the Apostles, by Louie Giglio, a video series. As we learn more about the start of the Christian faith and its purpose as it moved forward, we will discover what our purpose is today and where our help comes from.
Every other Tuesday @10:30AM (starts 9.12) | Jean Baker & Amy Jordan

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. | James 5:16

College and Careers is a community for young adults, students, professionals, & young marrieds. We foster and develop a continued deeper relationship with God as young adults transition through college and into careers.
We spend time connecting and working our way through a Bible Study. We are continuing through the Beatitudes; in this series, Pastor Matt Chandler takes us through the Beatitudes and shows us what it means to live in the kingdom of God. Through Jesus’s teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like.

Friday
Join us as we fast & pray as a faith community ONE time a month together. Fasting traditionally is to abstain from food and give that time and pangs of hunger to the attention of Jesus and His Kingdom in prayer. Seeking His way and will in our lives, community, mission, ministry, jobs, resources, etc. The list is endless, yet First Friday Fasting & Prayer is singular in focus too.
“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness…” | Mathew 6:33
Join us as we journey together on the road of life, grow in the Word, and share it with the community & those around us.
Saturday
GriefShare
One way YpsiFree loves God and love all people is to create space for community group focusing on the healing process for those that mourn. GriefShare walks alongside individuals who have experienced a loss and want to address that loss in their life.
GriefShare has three parts: videos, small group discussions and a workbook for personal study.
Please join us as we journey together from mourning to joy.
