ABIDE

Thursdays 10-11:30am in Tower Hill’s Connect Center

Leader Kim Tsimbinos Starts 4/24 *For Women*

Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. - 1 John 2:24 How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. Lead by Kim Tsimbinos. Join leader Kim Tsimbinos, Thursday’s starting 4/24 for 9 weeks in Tower Hill’s Connect Center. The study guide will need to be purchased ahead of time. *For Women*

The years of motherhood are paved with both tears of triumph and struggle. Our hearts and minds are tangled up in learning to love ourselves and the children God gifted us. We know who we were before kids, but who are we now? Oftentimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, lonely, and lost. Our struggles are common to all moms, and each season of motherhood holds new opportunities and challenges. This series from Gather Moms lets you know you are not alone. There is joy and victory in surrendering our struggles to Jesus and asking him for the power to keep going.

PSALM 23

Fridays 10-11:30am in Tower Hill’s Connect Center

Leaders Natalie DeStefano & Monica Duque Starts 4/25 *For Women*

Many people are familiar with Psalm 23. But because we all know it, we often breeze through the psalm without slowing down long enough to rest in the assurance it offers. In this 6-part video series on Psalm 23, pastor Matt Chandler introduces us to the great shepherd, the Lord, who promises to provide for every need of his flock. Though only six verses long, this psalm teaches us profound truths about our loving and protective God. By studying Psalm 23, we’ll encounter a life-transforming question: Do you trust the Lord to care for your needs? This group meets at Tower Hill’s Connect Center on Fridays at 10am with leaders Monica Duque and Natalie DeStefano. *For Women*
