Congregational Meeting
October 12 10:00 am
Welcome to Adult Ministry
A disciple is one who seeks to follow Jesus and grow in relationship with God, one another, and the world.
St. Andrew’s Adult Discipleship Ministry invites you to join us in growing together as we ask questions, go deeper in our faith toward a closer relationship with Jesus. There are many opportunities available – Alpha, Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies, Life Together Groups, Conversation Groups, and Sunday Classes, as well as Beyond Sunday Seminars.

Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times
Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times by Adam Hamilton.
Americans are anxious people. A recent study found that one in five of us has an anxiety disorder and we spend over $2 billion a year on anti-anxiety medications. Often our life events play a significant role in our worries and fears.
In this study based on his book Unafraid, Adam Hamilton explores the most common worries and fears experienced by Americans today. He considers practical steps for overcoming these fears, and reflects upon fear in the light of Scripture and a faith that promises again and again that we don’t need to live in fear. We can live with courage and hope.
This study includes the recommended book, video lessons, and leader guide.
