Study Groups

Big Ideas, Big Faith

Wednesdays May 2, 9, 16, 23 7-9pm
Led by Rob Irish.
As Christ followers, we often have questions about our world, our faith and our God. For four weeks, come and wrestle with four big questions:
1. Why did God create?
2. What is the Trinity really, and does it matter?
3. Why did Jesus come?
4. What are redemption and atonement and do I really need them?
Even though we don’t think about these things regularly, the concepts help shape how we respond to God and those around us.

Living Prayer

This is the last Living Prayer! First come, first served; registration limited to 12.
Prayer is the heartbeat of your relationship with God. Come and learn some basics about:

• Why we need to pray?
• What should I include in my prayers?
• How does God speak to us?
• What does an answered prayer look like?
Sign up now!

LENT EVENT

What is it?

An opportunity for everyone to participate in a faith based discussion.

Sunday messages will be talked about with others.
If, for some reason you miss a Sunday, that won’t matter. You can still join in and be part of the conversation! Sermon notes and video will be available on our website here www.wsquare.ca (available Sunday afternoon) or printouts will be on the Lent Event Bulletin Board (available Monday afternoon.)

Why participate?

• to experience the value of gathering together with others in small groups
• to have the chance to ask questions and talk about our faith with others
• to make new friends

When?

During the 6 weeks of Lent (February 26-April 7)

To make this work for you, we are offering many options throughout the week. See the schedule and choose a group to join.

Sign up Sunday in the foyer or contact the church office during the week.
