ASCENSION STARTING POINT:
Faith Foundations
Thursday evenings, beginning May 4!!
Registration here.
Includes 12 lessons, meets at Ascension Lutheran Church (800 McIntosh Road, Sarasota, FL).
Faith Foundations is both a starting point for understanding the simple truths of Scripture, and a great way to
connect with others seeking to begin the journey, or a great refresher course in the foundational truths of the Bible!
This Group will meet on (most) Thursday evenings from 6:30p-8:00p, beginning May 4, 2023.
As we connect each week for Faith Foundations, we'll discover crucial points like the 4-Key Concepts of
Christianity; how God connects with humankind through Jesus; what is prayer, confession, baptism, and holy
communion; and, how God connects us with the world: the Christian Church, the End Times, and our roles as
Christian men and women.
All Year (January through December):
Sermon-Based Growth Groups
1st+3rd or 2nd+4th Thursdays each month from 6:30-8pm
Registration here.
Sermon Based Growth Groups are small groups of Christian people who get together twice per month to talk about life, pray for each other, work on special projects together and often share some good food and drink. It’s a time for Christian people to “talk about the real stuff,” and to do further study of God’s Word based upon questions posed related to the previous Sunday’s sermon text from the Bible.
One of the best gifts God gives us is to know other Christians - other people with whom you can do life together, read the Bible together, pray together, ask questions together, become good friends together, confess together. A Growth Group is a group of friends you can go to when you face temptation, are anxious, worried, feel jealous, give up on marriage, etc. and they can encourage and pray for you. It’s an opportunity for Christian people to join together and receive some Grace – the gift from God we do not deserve or expect.
Sermon-Based Growth Groups run from May – September, meeting on 1st+3rd or 2nd+4th Thursdays each month from 6:30-8pm at Ascension Lutheran Church.
