Adult Discovery Hour
The goal of Adult Discovery Hour is for adults to learn about God’s Word and how it applies to their lives. There are a couple of classes offered each year to help address every day issues about the faith. The classes meet each Sunday from 10:30-11:30 a.m, during the second morning service, in the Fellowship Hall.

Afternoon Bible Hour
This is a group of retired women who are looking to grow closer to Christ by studying the Bible and visiting with one another. They meet on alternating Tuesdays (September through April) in the Fellowship Hall beginning at 1 p.m. Jan Mensink leads a one-hour study after which the group enjoys refreshments.

Breakfast Bible Study
Breakfast Bible Study is for men and women of all ages. The group meets each Friday at the Kingsberry Waffle House in Palos Heights at 6:30 a.m. The study runs from Labor Day until Memorial Day. During this time the group studies a book of the Bible from start to finish. The Bible is the main textbook, although commentaries and other sources are frequently used.

Coffee Break
Coffee Break is a community Bible study open to women of all ages and religious backgrounds. Within the comfort of small group settings, women have the opportunity to ask questions about God’s Word and how it can be applied to challenging life situations and relationships. A time of sharing and prayer offers mutual support and encouragement. This group meets on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11 a.m. The program begins in mid-September and ends in early May. Childcare is provided free of charge. Infants and toddlers are lovingly cared for in the church nursery and children ages three through six participate in Story Hour. This well-organized program includes a variety of activities: Bible stories, crafts, snack time, and supervised free-play. If you have questions about Coffee Break or Story Hour contact the church office.

Friendship Club
Friendship Club is for mentally and/or physically challenged persons. The group usually meets on two Thursdays a month from 7-9 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. The evenings are spent singing, doing activities, and having Bible studies. The Bible studies are one on one. The evening also includes a time for fellowship and refreshments.

Geneva Club
This group is open to adults who want to develop a Biblically Reformed worldview as they study contemporary culture and compare it with the eternal Truth revealed in the Bible. The goal is that participants use their influence to transform culture so that it is more submissive to the Lord Jesus Christ. Materials include contemporary bestsellers like The World is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman and classic Reformed publications like Calvinism: Six Stone Foundation Lectures by Abraham Kuyper. The Club meets every Thursday at 7:00 a.m. at the Palos Garden Restaurant, with Jim Boss leading.

Men’s Life
This discussion group seeks to understand a text of Scripture, frequently looking for the light it sheds on a man’s walk with Christ. Although most of the men are retired, they are open to others whose schedule allows attendance. The group meets in The Link from 8:30-9:30 a.m. every Tuesday (September through April) and is led by Larry Goudzwaard. If you would like to attend, just show up.

Small Groups
Our newest initiative is the development of small groups that gather for Bible study, fellowship and prayer. We currently have two groups meeting and a third is under construction. For more information, contact Cathy Haan at .

Dive into Scripture and wrestle with its application as you are challenged by God’s Word. Snacks and fellowship abound!
