Discover God’s Kingdom in the here and now! Join us for the Kingdom People Bible study starting Tuesday, May 6, at 6:00 PM. This casual, interactive group is perfect whether you’re new to Vineyard or a longtime friend. We’ll explore the exciting idea that Jesus’ Kingdom is already here and yet not fully here, looking at themes like how everyday people live out their faith, and participate in God’s healing and justice. Each meeting includes Bible talk, prayer, and open conversation with hope for what God can do. Bring your Bible, bring a friend, and see what God might teach us together.

No regular formal meetings are planned. There are educator activities during the year that you will be invited to attend.  
August - back to school breakfast and prayer.
Meetings - Como Park and the Compass Educator organizations have breakfast meetings in the east and west metro two times a year.  It's a great way to support each other as educators.

My background:  I was a special education teacher in St. Paul Schools for 21 years.
I retired 2 years ago and I really valued my time with colleagues in prayer and bible study.

What are Hurts, Habits, and Hang-ups?

• Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
• Growing up in family dysfunction
• Addictions like drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, food, or anything else we idolize
• Emotional hang-ups like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem
• Anything that causes you shame, guilt, despair, depression, anger, or pain

We all experience brokenness from our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, but we can find freedom in Christ when we allow his power to change us.

Discgolf is a great way to connect with others, have fun, and get some fresh air and exercise. All ages and levels of experience are welcome, whether you are new to the game or a seasoned player.
