Praying Mama’s
7–8:30 pm 

Mamas of preschool and elementary children are invited to come find mutual encouragement as we build community and intentionally pray for our families together!

We all know that the busyness of life can take over, making it hard to intentionally pray for our families, and yet it is so vital! We all want God to do big things in our lives, so let’s come before His throne together!

Join us once a month on the second Tuesday of each month from 7-8:30 pm at the home of Christie Krup (located in Naperville). RSVP HERE.

GP Crafters of all kinds are welcome to join the party! What kind of crafts are we talking about? Anything that is portable and you bring with you: Coloring, sewing, knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, etc. You bring your supplies, and we provide the tables and conversation!

Don’t craft? Come and make new friends and visit with us! We meet three times a month on the 2nd and 4th Friday and 4th Monday. The dates we meet vary so please double-check the time and date listed HERE.

Have you ever felt that your life has turned upside down?

“Fatal Distractions: Conquering Destructive Temptations” Precepts Bible Study | Mondays at 6-7:30 pm | Starting September 14

This 40-minute, no-homework, 6-week Bible study by Precept Ministries will look at six of the “deadly” sins that threaten spiritual growth:  Pride, Anger, Jealousy, Gluttony, Slothfulness, and Greed. You’ll learn to identify the subtle ways in which these fatal distractions can invade your life, and you’ll be equipped to conquer these destructive temptations so you can mature in your journey with Christ. The book cost is approximately $13 and takes up to two weeks to ship. Link and more information in the registration.

“Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Minds” Bible Study | Mondays at 6:30-8:30 pm | Starting September 14

When you consider studying God’s Word, do you wonder where to begin? Do a lack of time and past frustrations discourage you? In Jen Wilkin’s book “Women of the Word,” we will learn how to keep our focus and sustain our passion as we read Scripture! Join us for five weeks of learning and growing together! Participants are expected to purchase their own book and read the first chapter before the meeting on 9/14. Register today!

“Romans: Part Three” Precepts Bible Study | Tuesdays at 9-11:30 am | Starting September 15

Come discover the beauty and depth of God’s word through the inductive Bible study method! Together we will continue in Romans, focusing on chapters 9-11. We will explore foundational doctrines of our faith – original sin, justification, redemption, and propitiation. Expected homework is approximately 5 hours/week as it is an inductive study of God’s word. Book cost is approximately $22 plus shipping. All the information and links are in the registration.

“Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy” Bible Study | Tuesdays at 10-11 am | Starting September 22

Gratitude is a choice. If we fail to choose it, we default to ingratitude. And once allowed into the heart, ingratitude does not come by itself, but with other seedy companions that only succeed in stealing joy. By intentionally thanking God and others, bitterness and entitlement are replaced with joy and the humble realization of just how undeserving we really are. Participants are expected to order their own book and bring it to the first meeting, approximately $10. Register today!

Book Discussion Group

Join us as we read My Jesus by Anne Wilson. My Jesus weaves together Anne’s personal story with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears. Discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne’s story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way.

No matter what season of life you’re facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:
· Show how God can bring purpose out of loss
· Offer hope in the midst of heartbreak
· Remind you that God never abandons you

If you would like to visit the book club, please contact Char Michalek at charlenem@att.net for exact dates, as they do vary.

Free Fitness Class | Thursdays from 5-6 pm

Faith & Fitness is a one hour gathering just for the ladies! Just bring a mat or a large towel, and a water bottle for after class. You will follow the instructor’s cues and move at your own ability level. It is important for you to know this is a no-judgement class. It is all about love, encouragement, and feeling lovely at the end. You move with your instructor’s cues and listen to your body as you go.

We meet in room 126/127 (lower level, down the “Youth” staircase near the main entrance). The room is dark with twinkling lights for you to see the instructor. Let the soft Christian instrumental music wash over you as you move through the class. We close with time to reflect and pray on prompts from God’s Word.

This is a class that will make you feel wonderful, and you will meet some incredible women as well! Please contact Lisa Jacob with any questions or to be added to the email reminder list: ljacob8589@gmail.com.

Registration is NOT required to attend. Classes run from September 10, 2026 to June 24, 2027. There may be a few dates the class will not meet due to holidays, please message Lisa for the full schedule.
