URC will be hosting a Biblical Theology Workshop for Women with Nancy Guthrie on March 4-5, 2022. Over three sessions, Nancy Guthrie will help us to get to know our Bibles better as we learn to identify major themes that run from Genesis to Revelation. We won’t simply be sitting and listening. We’ll be interacting with each other and working together to trace particular themes. The three sessions promise to be energetic and fun. They include:

1. Telling the Bible’s Big Story
2. Tracing the Bible’s Main Themes
3. Making the Bible’s Intended Connections

While we are the hosts, the workshop is being advertised nationally, and women from around the country will be looking for a workshop in their area. we don’t want the workshop to fill up before women from our church have the chance to register! Registration opens January 1, 2022

We’re looking forward to having Nancy here to help us understand our Bibles better so that we can more clearly grasp what God is saying to us through his Word. And we look forward to having lots of guests join us for what should be a memorable day of fun and learning together.

Join us January 14-15, 2022 at Camp Geneva Retreat Center in Holland, MI for our URC Intergenerational Men’s Retreat. The weekend will be filled with fellowship and encouragement by the teaching of Walter Lorenz, Pastor at Large of the Great Lakes Presbytery (PCA). All the details and registration found HERE.

Please join us on Wednesday, December 22, as we celebrate Christmas with singing carols in our church neighborhood and community. Plan to meet at URC at 5:45 and we’ll carol from 6:00-9:00pm. Contact Scott Bowyer with any questions. 

Burcham Hills has invited our kids to come sing carols on Sunday, December 12 at 3:00 pm. Come and share the joy of the advent season with the residents! Families should meet at Burcham Hills at 2:45 pm.
