As I have listened and learned over the past 10 months to the rhythms, hopes, and dreams of the ZBC family, I have heard one common thread — people say they want more. They want a deeper understanding in their spiritual life and in their relationship with God. As a church family, we have covenanted together to seek a deep abiding relationship with Jesus and to follow his ways.

I invite you to consider joining one of the two opportunities for a small group to study the work by John Mark Comer, “Practicing the Way”  The course is an 8-week seminar series that encourages and facilitates deeper discipleship. As you take your next step in your spiritual journey, the foundational component is to participate in the 8-week course on Practicing the Way.

The goal is to create a platform and foundation for participants to live into a life of practicing spiritual disciplines in order to “Be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did.” By signing up for the study, participants commit to be present for weekly group gatherings, which will last about 1 ½ hours, and to participate in a weekly individual practice.

We will offer the course on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8 or Sundays from 3:30-5 p.m. Our first sessions will begin Wednesday Aug. 27, or Sunday Sept.14. Indicate your interest by signing up in the church office or emailing Sherry Edwards (sherry.edwards@myZBC.org). You can also sign up at https://bit.ly/40W5kts.
