Putting your gifts into service

The goal of this 4-week course is to help you discover all the elements of who God created you to be and help you put these elements together to find an effective and fulfilling place of service. This study uses the acronym S.T.R.I.D.E. which stands for Spiritual gifts, Talents, Resources, Individuality, Dreams and Experience. Each of these elements will be explored. This study will be led by Cathy Childers on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm beginning May 13.

Spiritual Gifts Assessment

Every child of God is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, specially gifted to play a unique and valued role in the body of Christ. No one is without gift or purpose. Spiritual gifts are not our talents or skills. They are the grace of God at work within us, empowering us to match our deep passions with the world’s deep need. The gifts are given to individuals, but they are given to build and strengthen community and to meet the needs of those around us. Click the button below to find out more.

Friday afternoons with Pastor Maya

Life brings seasons that leave us wondering about our direction, questioning our purpose, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we need a trusted conversation partner, someone who will listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and walk alongside us as we navigate what's next. Associate Pastor Maya DeBruyne is setting up Friday afternoons to have some conversations. Here are just a few examples of what might be discussed:

• Discerning a major life decision
• Processing loss or transition
• Exploring questions of faith and meaning
• Needing someone to simply sit with you in a difficult season
• Wondering how your spiritual life connects to your daily challenges

These conversations are confidential, unhurried, and centered on you. You don't need to be in crisis to schedule time. To find out more or schedule an appointment, email Pastor Maya or call the church office at 405-324-1900. She's available to meet with you in your home, at the church, or at a local coffee shop on Friday afternoons.
