Dwell will be offering its Parenting Meeting throughout the summer, with the next meeting on Wednesday, June 1st. Jessica Lowery will share on the topic of Spiritual Guidance in the Home.

Dwell's Parenting Meeting usually takes a break over the summer, but this year will continue its monthly meetings through June, July, and August, thanks to what organizer Sherri Fojas says was an overwhelming response for it to continue.

This spring Dwell is offering the 4-week class, “Helping Others Navigate Grief and Loss,” starting May 25th. John Montgomery teaches it, and shares more about it:

What will be covered in the class?

Dwell is offering the class, "Unleashing the Word" this spring. Dwell Pastor John Ross is teaching the 4 week class, and shares with us more about it:

Why "unleashing" the word?

God's word is alive and powerful. It wants to work in the world to bring people to Jesus and in our hearts to make us more like him. Part of our job is to get in front of scripture and just let it do that wonderful work. 

Why this class? What's your burden?
