7 WEEK SERMON SERIES AND SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY

Beginning January 5, 2020, Canaan will begin a 7 week sermon series and small group bible study based on Pastah J's book, Church Forsaken: Practicing Presence in Neglected Neighborhoods. It is extremely important that everyone has a copy of the book which will be made available at a special price for anyone who does not have one. Also, there is FREE online curriculum that will be used weekly for small group bible study that can be downloaded at www.walkingtowardslove.com

It is the expectation as we enter 2020 that EVERY member of Canaan would be a part of a small group bible study, elevate bible study or Sunday Morning Study. It is extremely important that we focus on our (w)holisitic discipleship and grow in every area of our faith as we move into the next decade of Canaan's ministry. Small groups will meet weekly in home of Canaan members if you need more information on where groups are meeting please contact us.

The series will end on February 23, 2020 with a one week break on February 9th for our 20th anniversary Sunday. Where we will focus on our theme "Celebrating 20 years of Love Making the Difference.'
