Led by Emmaus Bible Ministries

Wednesday Nights Schedule (4/19, 4/26, 5/3, 5/10)
6 PM—$6 Dinner
6:30–8 PM—Study of Philippians (led by Emmaus)

Kids Ministry classes & MS EPIC will continue to meet from 6–8 PM in their ministry areas.

Emmaus will be leading a 4-week study of Philippians—exploring the historical background, author, audience and setting that this letter from Paul finds itself. Throughout the four weeks, we’ll unpack the themes of the letter through the Inductive Bible Study method (no previous experience required!) to see God’s word come alive for the generation receiving this letter, and how it still impacts the church today.

This class will provide you with tools of approaching the scriptures in a way that allows God’s word to speak while we participate in a posture of listening. If you’re new to the Bible, or you’ve been an active learner for years, this 4-week study will give you the opportunity to grow closer to God and make the overwhelming joy of reading scripture more approachable.

Emmaus Bible Ministries exists to equip the Body of Christ with the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Inductive Bible Study, Authentic Relationships, and Community Life. Emmaus hosts a year-long School of Biblical Studies (located back in the EPICenter) and provides Narrative Series and Seminars throughout the year for local churches.

Baptism is a powerful moment in someone’s journey with Jesus. It’s an outward sign of an inner reality … a way of declaring to God, our community and ourselves – I was once dead in sin, but now I’m alive through Christ – a new creation!

If you’re ready to own your faith in Jesus, or have recently come to believe but have never been baptized, this might be your next step – and we would love to celebrate it with you! On Easter Sunday (4/9), we’ll have an opportunity for full immersion or sprinkling baptisms (after the 10 AM or after Vessel).

If you’re interested, or interested in figuring out if this is the right next step for you, contact a pastor prior to Easter Sunday:

Those who were baptized as an infant / child but would like to remember their baptism are more than welcome, as well.

For more info, contact CraigBlocher@universitycarillon.net.

Spring season: February 6 through May 1
Mondays, 6:30-8:30 PM (doors open 6:30; begin 7:00)
Room E-203

The Young Adults community has been on break and is getting ready to start back. We’ve been sensing God is up to something new; come be part of it!

FAQ:

So … what’s happening from 6:30-7 PM?
From 6:30-7, the space will be open to come decompress from the day, hang out (snacks provided), or bring your dinner. (Microwave available in the room if you need to warm it up!)

Where is E-203?
Our building has three buildings. The second building is our Education building. E-203 is upstairs in that building; room numbers are above the doors, or look for someone who’s ready to greet you!

Is every Monday going to look the same?
Nope! 1st and 3rd Mondays will be Large Group nights. These nights will be all about having a good time together and building community (Gather nights) or coming together to learn, pray or worship (Focus nights). This may look like a guest speaker / workshop on a topic relevant to following Jesus as young adults, a prayer and worship night, a serve night… the possibilities are endless! 2nd and 4th Mondays will be Life Group nights. These are intended to provide a smaller, more intentional space to pray together, engage the Scriptures, and wrestle through how to apply them to daily life. This season (spring 2023), we are going to be walking through Jesus’ words in John 13-17.

Is this a singles group?
Nope!

I have kids … is this for me?
If you fall in that 22-35 age range, you are welcome here. That said, we won’t have childcare available during Monday meetings, and acknowledge that that (as well as the time we meet) may not be ideal for those with kids. It’s up to you.

I’m still in college, but I’m in this 22-35 age range … is this for me?
We have an incredible ministry here designed for college & college-age students called Prodigal. We’d love to get you connected there! However, Young Adults is intended to be a community for those who have already finished their undergraduate degree or are around that age. If you took some time off before college or have followed a non-traditional route – say, maybe you find yourself at 25 years old, yet still completing your undergraduate degree. In these sorts of cases, we’ll leave it up to you and which community feels most conducive to your stage of life!

Questions? Contact us!
Justin M. – (407) 591-6876
Maria K. – (321) 337-3681
Lauren G. – (704) 238-3337

_____

FEBRUARY DATES
February 6 – Large Group: Monday Funday – Let’s call it Taco Monday (why wait until Tuesday?) & get into some friendly competition! We’ll have time around the table to get to know one another, and then Maria will be teaching us a game from Brazil. Bring your game face, folks.
February 13 – Life Group
February 20 – Large Group: Sabbath Workshop (led by Kristi Marsh) – Tired? Trying to find balance? Come learn together about God’s rhythms of rest.

This night, we remember what happened the night before Jesus’ death, when He was around the table with His disciples sharing the Last Supper.

We’ll do so through a nontraditional style service, filled with creative ways to step into the most profound meal in all human history—Communion—and the humbling example of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet.

Childcare (6wks–4yrs) available.
*This service will NOT be livestreamed.

Both in-person AND live-streamed online.

Near the end of his Journey to Jerusalem, the triumphal entry of Jesus into this city is met with joyful praise to God for all the miracles the disciples and crowds have witnessed.

Palm Sunday marks the start of Holy Week—a time in which the church points to, and remembers, the events leading to cross but ending in resurrection.

Sunday, April 9 | 8:45, 10 and 11:30 am

Then on the third … early in the morning, thunderous power, love and beauty broke the silence. What everyone thought was the end, became the beginning.

The man people thought was wrapped in grave clothes, was walking through town, breathing and talking and…very much alive!

Most could hardly believe their eyes. Mary thought Jesus was a gardener; two of his disciples mistook him for a stranger; and his friend Thomas refused to believe without touching for himself Jesus’ pierced hands and side.

And no wonder! They thought that evil had claimed the final word.

On Friday, Jesus said “It was finished.”

But then, on the third day, he came back to life and declared that the victory coursing through his veins, the new home he was building, the massive love that held him on the cross – we were invited into it, too.

Both in-person AND live-streamed online. Childcare (6wks–4yrs) available.

Reflect on what we know as the “last seven words of Christ” as we try to understand what Jesus went through on our behalf that Good Friday.

  • “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34 NLT)
  • “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43 NIV)
  • “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” (John 19:26-27 NIV)
  • “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:34 NIV)
  • “I thirst.” (John 19:28-29 ESV)
  • “It is finished.” (John 19:30 NIV)
  • “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46 NLT)

 

These last words of Jesus will be shared by a variety of generations. Hear these words—which are still very much alive and well—spoken and reflected through some of the family that calls UC home.

What is Good Friday?
Ever since Jesus died and was raised again, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation. Good Friday is the term we use to designate the day on which Jesus willingly went to the cross. On that day, we reflect upon the reality that Jesus suffered and died for the sake of the whole world. While it seems strange to call it “good,” we refer to it in this way not because of what happened, but because of where it leads.

What the world meant for evil, God redeemed in Christ for the good of every person. The horrible events of that Friday would eventually give way to the beautiful victory of Easter Sunday, where we discover that, through Christ, we are not only set free from the penalty of sin, but we are set free to live joyfully and to join God in God’s mission of love for the sake of the world.­

Want to Volunteer

WHERE: University Carillon soccer fields
COST: Free!

A FREE fun Easter color run!

On Saturday, April 1 from 10 AM—12:00 PM we’ll be outside on University Carillon’s soccer fields having fun at the Easter color run and celebration!

Grab a white T-shirt (or one you don’t mind getting a little colorful) and join us for Jelly Bean Jog—a family-friendly color run open to all ages! There will be free food, face painting, Gaga ball, games, kids activities…and best of all, it’s completely FREE!

Invite some friends and neighbors and show up in a white shirt on Saturday morning, ready to have a good time!

FAQs
• How long is the jog? To get all five colors, you’ll have to travel the course twice — for a total of ½ mile. You can jog around as many times as you’d like!
• Do I have to run? No! All ages may participate…at whatever speed is comfortable. Feel free to walk (even with a stroller).
• Do I need protection for eyes/mouths? Not usually, but it’s up to you. Some people wear sunglasses and cover their mouths with bandanas; others do not. The colors will not be aimed at your face!
• Does the color wash out? Yes – but don’t wear something you love, just in case. If you want the color to STAY on your T-shirt, soak it in vinegar before washing!
• Is this event just for kids? This celebration event is for everyone! We have people of all ages coming out to participate … and we have activities for every age!
