The Cougar Village Women’s Bible Study starts this Thurs, Feb 4! We are in need of volunteers to hang out with the kids while moms attend the Bible Study. We are especially looking for Godly men who would like to mentor young men in the community and spend time with them doing activities like fishing and playing football during the Bible Study. If you are interested or would like more information on how you can help, please contact Jesse at jesse.korns@missionstl.org.

The class will begin the week of February 21st, 2010. Registration begins February 7 and close on February 15 or when classes are full. Stay tuned for more details.

Current members, as part of the Engage movement, we will soon begin a process of asking every current Journey member to re-up their membership commitment.

Healing Communities at Karis House are starting up again. A Healing Community is a place where it is acceptable to be broken, have problems, admit failure, and where help is expressed in concrete, practical ways. The mission of these groups is to help hurting people heal through Gospel-centered community. The groups for this semester include topics dealing with sexual identity, relationships and intimacy, eating and body image issues and coping with grief. Click here for more details and to register.
