EVENTS AT CHURCH 52
GriefShare
GriefShare is a Christ-centered, video-led support group that encourages individuals to move through their grief and find a new normal in life. Join caring people who understand what you are going through and will walk alongside you to encourage and comfort you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.
This group will meet on Sundays from 4-6 pm at Church 52 from September 6 through December 6.
It hurts to lose someone, but you don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
Register now to join the group and begin your healing together.
Women's Bible Study
Life is full. Between work, family, responsibilities, and the endless demands on our time, it's easy for our relationship with God to be pushed to the margins. But what if the very practices that draw us closer to Him could also bring peace, purpose, and renewal to our busy lives? Join us for this 4-week women's study as we explore practical spiritual disciplines that help us stay connected to God in every season.
Week 1: Scripture & Meditation
Week 2: Prayer & Fasting
Week 3: Gratitude & Worship
Week 4: Rest & Sabbath Rhythms
Whether you're new to these practices or longing to deepen your walk with Christ, this study will encourage you with biblical truth, meaningful discussion, and practical ways to pursue Jesus in the midst of everyday life.
Water Baptism
Water baptism is a celebration of your decision to follow Jesus! It’s an awesome way for you to declare your commitment to the Lord. If you’re ready to be baptized, we want to celebrate with you at our next water baptism on September 13th! Join us at 9 am in the Youth Center for our Baptism class, then celebrate with the entire congregation in the 11 am service! Bring your family and friends to witness this amazing day of transformation!
For you, this may be your first time being water baptized. Or maybe you are recommitting your life to the Lord with a deeper understanding of water baptism. No matter what your story is, we are excited to cheer you on in your journey with Jesus!

Salvation: More Than Words

Are we saved by good works? Can we lose our salvation? And more! Grow deeper in your faith and understanding of salvation on Sunday, Oct. 4th at 9 am in the Youth Center.
Talking to Rabbi Jesus
We’re all so busy that it’s hard to find the time to pray, and when we do, it can be boring. We can find it hard to focus and get distracted by our to-do list. As Robert Mulholland described, we generally spend our time just worrying in God’s general direction. It can feel like talking to yourself or reading a Christmas list to the Santa in the sky. So, we make excuses – I have young kids, or I must work, or whatever. We feel a tinge of guilt. Then, we pick up our phone and scroll through our favorite feeds and reels.
If you struggle to pray, you are not alone. As St. Teresa of Ávila used to say, when it comes to prayer, we’re all beginners. Yet, prayer is the portal to life with God, the life we all crave in the deepest part of our being.
Jesus did all sorts of amazing things – but the disciples did not ask Jesus to teach them how to heal the sick, or to cast out demons, or to perform miracles. They asked him to teach them how to pray.
Learn what Jesus teaches us about prayer in this four-week class with Pastor Garry, from Oct. 4-25th, 9 am, in Room 207.
First Sunday
Join us for our monthly event, "First Sunday Prayer & Worship," on October 4th at 6 pm. Experience a time of intimate prayer and worship as we come together to seek God's presence. It's a beautiful way to kick off each month with purpose and connection. Mark your calendars now for First Sunday in November!
The Bait of Satan | Women's Bible Study
Are you compelled to tell your side of the story? Do you fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust? Are you constantly rehearsing past hurts? Have you lost hope because of what someone did to you? John Bevere shows you how to identify the traps ahead of you and escape victim mentality. With declaration-style prayers and testimonials from people whose lives have been changed by his message, this teaching will inspire you to stay free from offense and its destructive power.
Come ready with the book "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere and the accompanying study guide.
Oct 7- Nov 11, 7-8 pm, Room 206.
