Providence Community Church
Ed Gross - Discipleship Group
In the Men’s Discipleship Group, we dig into God’s Word and discover what He tells us about how He sees us and how He wants us to see ourselves. We are identifying the things that stand between us and the men of God that we want to be. When we can do that, then we can take action against them and live full, victorious, manly lives.
We meet every second and fourth Tuesday at 6:30pm at Providence in Stage 2. This is a standing invitation and you can join whenever you’re able. We work hard to establish a place of trust and honesty where you will be able to be open and honest about the struggles of walking in the confidence of sonship. Please contact Ed at: edgross2@gmail.com

Victor and Emily Pagan
Paul says of the Thessalonian church, “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well’ (1 Thes 2:8). Our desire and our delight is that we live a life fully connected to God and to God’s people. We want to make a space in our lives to connect with each other so we meet every Tuesday at the Pagan house (pronounced puh-gahn, not like biblical pagans). We share a meal together and talk about our lives and what God is doing in our midst. Feel free to bring your kids and if it gets chaotic, I guess we will just lock them on the other side of the house while we make attempts to have adult conversations. Please contact Victor at: Victor.r.pagan@gmail.com or Emily at: Emily.joy.pagan@gmail.com

Brain and LaGore
We meet every other Sunday at 6PM at the Lagore’s home at 4364 Camp Woods Rd in Glenville. We are presently studying through the book of Genesis looking at all that this first book of the Bible has to teach us about prophecy. Genesis is full of prophetic previews to coming attractions and we have been greatly challenged by the walk of faith of the people we meet in Genesis. (Took a line out here) We have our time together recorded as some prefer because of distance and other constraints to listen to the study remotely, but we also have people from four different churches that attend regularly. New people are always welcome! Please contact Calvin at:

Women’s Thursday Night Bible Study
On October 6, 2022, we will be starting an 8-week study from 7:00 - 9:00pm called, “Women of the Bible.” Our goal is to apply biblical lessons to our own modern-day lives, as we study the stories of women from both the Old and New Testaments. We will learn how their struggles caused them to draw near to God, overcome rejection, and insecurity, persevere through failures, and find lasting contentment with victory. We will begin with worship, soaking in the presence of the Lord. Bring Bible, journal & pen. Please contact Lorraine at: lorraineslattanzi@gmail.com

Derek and Amanda Favreau
Our group was birthed in September 2020, right on the heels of the covid lockdowns, which prompted an increased hunger for the community inside of Amanda and me. With our kids Grace and Noah, we meet bi-weekly at our home in South Hanover on Friday evenings at 7PM to fellowship, worship, study, and pray together. We enjoy desserts during our gatherings, have seasonal/holiday meals with one another, and enjoy serving or gathering in the community together. The group was formed with a mix of folks from Providence Church and the community at large (kids’ school, neighborhood, etc) Amanda and I both have had the desire in our hearts for years to host a small group of believers to strengthen and support one another i.e. “do life” together. Our group is currently at full capacity which includes childcare, but we do have openings from time to time. Contact us! Derek: dmfav80@gmail.com Amanda: lovelightwarmth@gmail.com

Maryland
David and Erin Rasch
We are David and Erin Rasch. We live right on the Maryland PA line in Maryland and enjoy camping, family time, and thrive on being busy! (Well, at least Erin does!) We meet because we missed the very large community group we had four years ago before Covid. Neither one of us like Bible studies, but we do like the gathering of friends so we get together twice the month to have potluck style (but still themed) meals, and to hang out, talk, and do life together. We have four, almost 5 kids, so kids of all ages are welcome to come hang out and play with our crazy crew! We meet on the first Saturday at 6 PM and the third Sunday at 1 PM most months. Contact admin@providencecommunity.org for more.
