Join us for this 6-week study, Open Your Bible

Whether you are a seasoned Bible reader or struggle to keep up with studying Scripture, Open Your Bible will leave you with a greater appreciation for the Word of God, a deeper understanding of its authority, and a stronger desire to know the Bible inside and out.

Each of the 6-week sessions can stand alone, so you don't have to attend every one to be a part of the fun. Come as you are able, and bring a friend!

Wednesdays, June 26-July 31
7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
2nd Floor at Regency

The Lord has placed us at Regency, right at the crossroad of where thousands of immigrant and refugee families are located. After learning more about the needs of these relocated families, we are teaming up with our neighbor at the other end of the mall, the Henrico County Adult Learning Center, to cohost a Resource Fair to provide a way to meet and become familiar with the many agencies and ministries in our area that can help meet these numerous needs. 

The Resource Fair

The event will be held at the Henrico Country Adult Learning Center at Regency on Tuesday, April 16, from 5:30 - 7:30 pm with groups like Crossover, Third Church Immigrant and Refugee Tutoring, ESL at West End Pres and WEAG, Christian Arabic Church, Re-Establish Richmond, GRTC, and many other private and county organizations. 

How can you help? 

• Be in prayer for relationships to be developed and for fruitful connections to be built for these families to receive the help they need in negotiating life in a new and different culture. 

• Volunteer for hospitality (refreshments and helping people find the Learning Center), as language interpreters, and for set up and clean up.

Did you know there are many ways to practice lamenting?

It’s true. You can sing, color, pray, write, meditate, walk, and more. Come discover this ancient practice with us during the Lenten Season.

This event will open our hearts to the Lord and let him heal our brokenness. In this season of Lent, join us for a time of worship, biblical reflection, and practicing lament as we join Jesus in the wilderness. Let us pour out our hearts, exposing to our Father who loves us, our broken places, constant temptations, and need for control in an out-of-control world. God calls us to lament for the unseen places in our hearts, the people in our lives, and the atrocities in the world. He wants to bring us to a place of trust, wholeness, and peace.

*Event is best suited for adults and students 13 years old and up.
