All-Church Retreat: On Saturday, November 1, accept Jesus' invitation to "come away" by joining us on a one-day all-church retreat at Fox Valley Christian Action in St. Charles. As a next step in our Becoming Neighbors journey, we are coming together with Logan Street Missionary Baptist Church and Bethany Covenant Church for a fun and renewing day. We'll be engaging the theme "One in Christ, Many in Joy." The opening session begins at 10am and the closing session ends at 3:30. Optionally, you can arrive early (9am) and/or stay late (6pm). All ages are welcome. Register at bit.ly/fvca-retreat.

Coffee Hour: Coffee hour at Park Manor at the Holmstad will be on October 29 from 2pm-3pm! We are looking for some home-baked cookies or bars to serve, some assistance with setting up, serving, visiting, singing a few songs, and a very brief cleanup after! If you are interested, please contact LaVon at (847) 909-5489 or care@bataviacov.org.

What if the thing our churches are missing isn’t a something, but a Someone? Francis Chan’s Forgotten God seeks to reverse our neglect of the Holy Spirit by exposing the enormous gap between what Scripture says about the Spirit and how most believers and churches operate today. 

Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, Chan reveals the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. His goal isn’t merely to educate readers, it’s to infuse reader’s lives with the presence of the Holy Spirit in profound ways.

What do we do when life goes very wrong? The biblical answer is that we start by turning to God and sharing our distress and pain with him. But when was the last time you lamented to God? In our culture, we are averse to engaging with sin and death, suffering and sorrow, so we really don’t understand how to apply the book of Lamentations to our lives.

This study will help us learn to lament and hear from God’s heart. In a busy world where grief is often ignored, this study invites us into the house of mourning and helps us gain a heart of wisdom for when hard times come.

The Gospel-Centered Life Bible series helps us examine how the gospel story is revealed through both the Old and New Testaments.
