The Body Teaches the Soul

Sundays • 8:30–9:30 AM • June 28 – August 2

A summer of meaningful conversation, spiritual growth, and practical habits that help us become more attentive to God in everyday life.

Join us as we read The Body Teaches the Soul by Justin Whitmel Earley and explore how ordinary rhythms—from breathing and sleeping to technology and worship—can shape our hearts and deepen our walk with Jesus. (We'll be meeting in the cafe').

Purchase the book on Amazon here (next day delivery).

Special Final Gathering

As we conclude our study, we'll spend time reflecting on what God has taught us throughout the summer, sharing testimonies, praying for one another, and celebrating the habits and practices we want to carry into the fall.

What to Expect

• Friendly discussion in a relaxed setting
• Practical application for everyday life
• Scripture woven into each conversation
• Encouragement from women walking the same journey
• No pressure to have all the answers

Whether you're an avid reader or simply looking to grow alongside other women this summer, we'd love for you to join us.

We'll wrap up in plenty of time for KidsTown Communion for those serving in KidsTown, and if you're serving on the praise team, you can join the conversation when practice wraps up.

If you're looking for a way to stay connected and keep growing this summer, we hope you'll join us this Sunday at 8:30.
