We’re getting ready for this year’s Return to Bethlehem production, and that means it’s almost time to start building the sets that bring the story to life!
A small group will gather this Saturday, October 18, at 8:00 AM in the RTB Field (back parking lot across East Ave.) to look over materials and determine what new supplies might be needed before full set-building days begin next month.
If you enjoy building, crafting, or just pitching in with hands-on projects, we’d love for you to join us! No need to RSVP—just show up and lend a hand.

Prepare for worship by reading the following scripture passages:

Experiencing God - A New Sunday Morning Group!
Some studies help you know the Bible. This one helps you know the Author. Do you want to take your relationship with God to a new level? This classic Bible study has helped millions of people do just that. Experiencing God will help you understand seven key facts about God that many Christians miss. In learning these, you can open the door to a deeper faith, greater obedience, and profound change in your life.
Anchored in Peace: Finding God’s Calm in an Anxious World
Are anxious thoughts keeping you up at night? Do your worries sometimes feel like crashing waves, overwhelming your peace? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to walk through it by yourself.
Beginning Wednesday, October 15, join us after WINGS Suppers for a small group study based on Anchored in Peace: A 30-Day Christian Journey Through Anxiety. Together, we’ll discover how Scripture, prayer, and simple mindful practices can help us quiet our hearts and draw nearer to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Each week we’ll explore biblical truths, share encouragement, and learn practical ways to invite God’s presence into the middle of life’s stress and uncertainty.
This group is for anyone longing to trade fear for faith, striving for stillness, and anxiety for God’s peace. Come find your anchor—and experience peace that holds, even when the storm does not stop.
