Thrive
Coming in March 2025…
The Adult Ed team believes strongly that God has given us opportunities to serve Him, our congregation and community. In March 2025, we are excited to offer an extension of this service through a program called Thrive.
Thrive is a faith-based program with resources designed to aid participants through a journey to discover healthy solutions for body, mind and spirit, supported by prayer and scripture in a supportive, small group setting.
Thrive is not a professional resource and is not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or replace professional care. It is intended for anyone who wishes to nourish their mental health.
The program will start in March of 2025 with small groups of 5 to 10 young to older adults, meeting weekly. There will be 22 sessions - 11 in March through May and 11 in September through November.
We know that physical, mental and spiritual health are all connected, so we can’t talk a lot about one without including the others in some way. In keeping with that, sessions include varied topics such as: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Relational.
Bible Study Small Groups
Thursday Morning Bible Study
Join us at 9 am Thursday mornings for Bible Study. Located in the Zion Library. All questions, curiosities, and insights welcome!
Women’s Bible Study
Women’s Bible Study typically meets the third Thursday of each month, on Thursdays at 7 pm. This group dives into one book of the Bible, reading 1-2 chapter of that book each month, until we have read through the entire book of the Bible. Currently, Women’s Bible Study is reading Isaiah.
