Brookswood Life Group 

We have a new Life Group meeting every other Wednesday, starting on April 10th at 7pm in the Brookswood area of Langley. The Life Group will be taking time each week to build community, pray together, and study scripture. The group will be doing a 10-week video series on the letter to the Philippians. This group will be a continuous group meeting throughout the year with a break during the summer. 

Motorbike Life Group 

Do you ride a motorcycle? Are you looking to connect with others at Living Waters Church? The Motorbike Life Group is for you! Every other Wednesday starting in May, we will meet at Living Waters Church and leave at 6:30pm, planning to be back at the church between 8-8:30pm. We are also hoping to do a couple of longer Sunday rides this year!  

Biblical Gender Equality Life Group 

Join us as we look through scripture and learn about how God calls women and men to lead and serve as equals.  The focus is to examine the biblical message in which God calls women and men of all cultures, races, and classes to share authority equally in service and leadership in the home, the church, and the world. Too often the Bible is misinterpreted in this area. This group will provide teaching on a better biblical foundation which eliminates the power imbalance between men and women.  

In looking at this topic, Christians will be encouraged to exercise their gifts for God’s glory and purposes with the full support of their Christian community.  

This group will include teaching from Dr. Barb Orlowski, whose passion for this subject is contagious! 

We will be meeting for 8 weeks on Monday evenings starting on Monday, April 8 and ending on Monday, June 3 (no meeting on Monday, May 20). It will be held at Living Waters Church starting at 7pm each Monday. 

Navigating Life with Adult Children 

We all desire a healthy relationship with our adult children. Yet sometimes navigating life with our adult children is not always easy. Even if they have been successfully launched into adulthood, managing the relationship, and our changing role, can at times be confusing and painful.

Over the years, misunderstandings and differences of values can complicate the relationship. For those who are dealing with adult children who are struggling, for a variety of reasons, the relationship can go from strained to seemingly hopeless. With the added challenges of facing our own aging process, we sometimes are at a loss as to how to love them.

Perhaps you have felt alone in this process as others have not understood your lonely journey of trying to build a relationship with your adult child. And perhaps you have even felt guilt and shame as you compare them with the apparent success stories of others. But be assured, you are not alone.

This ten week Life Group will be a support for parents of adult children. As well as providing love and acceptance for those on the same journey, it will introduce new skills in connecting with adult children who are dealing with a variety of issues. Some of the topics discussed will be: How do we establish boundaries? How do deal with the pain and regret? How do we love and care without enabling? How do we recover God’s purpose for our own lives?

Isolation and grieving is not a long-term solution, we have to be proactive to gain new hope in our lives. In spite of the pain you may be going through, it is possible to experience God’s grace which will provide a new freedom and purpose for your future.

We will be meeting for 10 weeks on Wednesday evenings, 7-9pm, starting on April 3 and located in the Cloverdale area.
