| Bruce Feffer | Fridays at 7:30pm. | River Edge | Book of Esther | Sex! Power! Conspiracy! The Old Testament Book of Esther reads like a modern day suspense novel. Who is Esther and what can we learn from her story? Why do modern conservatives and liberals both find something to dislike and admire about her? Most importantly, in a Bible story that makes no mention of God, what can we learn about how He works in our every day lives? Please join us for an in-depth study of an ancient story with very modern lessons for all of us. |
| Stephen Sharkey | Wednesday 7:30 | TBD | Book of Daniel | God calls us to live lives that are counter cultural. In the church however, we tend to either hide from culture, or simply conform to culture. As followers of Jesus we are called to engage with culture in a way that seeds to love it, and change it. The book of Daniel addresses the issue of engaging with culture, without conforming to it. Join us as we delve into this very unique Old Testament book and see what it has to say about our lives. |
| Mike Choi | Thurs, 7.00p | Palisades Park | “The Reason for God” By Tim Keller | How could a loving God send people to hell? Why does he allow suffering? Can one religion be "right" and the others "wrong"? Responding to the questions of open skeptics and ardent believers, Keller draws from literature, philosophy, reason, and real-life conversations to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief. |
| Jennifer Kao and Lisa Ra | Friday 7:00pm | Leonia – Rivers Edge | Marriage | A group geared towards the needs of married couples.

But most of all, we hope to create together an intimate community of support and prayer for the ones living out the brave calling of the sacred institution of marriage. |
| Abe Kim | Friday 7:00pm | Fort Lee | Topic – Evangelism “Walk Across the Room” | In this powerful book, Pastor Hybels shows you how to follow Jesus' model of personal evangelism by "living in 3-D"---developing friendships, discovering stories, and discerning appropriate ways to leave your comfort zone. Learn to share the good news of redemption with people living far from God---and across the room. |
| Josh Sudrama and Manny Lee | Wednesday 7:30 pm | Fort Lee, NJ | Book – “Feel: The Power of Listening to Your Heart” by Matthew Elliott | Most of us have heard that emotions are not to be trusted. Yet, we've all gone through times when we're apathetic or just don't feel anything about our Christian walk and about some of our relationships. Some call it complacency, a lack of passion, or just plain not caring any more. Whatever it's called, it happens. Our group will try to understand our emotions better, find out what we should do during those times, and how to embrace rather than ignore our feelings. |
| Thomas Park | Tuesday 7pm | Ridgefield Park, NJ | Authentic Community | Our group seeks to delve into authentic community together as we spend time weekly having bible study, personal sharing, open discussion and just fellowshipping with one another. |

| Georgette Wangongo and Dan Kim | Wednesday | Hackensack, NJ | “A Credible Witness: Reflections on Power, Evangelism and Race” by Brenda Salter-McNeil |
Are you tired of a status quo Christian life that does not work the way you wished it did? Have you ever wondered why the partial presentation of the gospel story we are given does not really work in the worlds we live in? Then perhaps you should consider journeying with us to a place where Jesus shows up unexpectedly, goes beyond the superficial-crossing gender lines, ethnic barriers, denominational divides, political affiliations, class distinctions, and cultural mores to radically transform the life of our friend Sam, in order that we too can become a credible witness. |
| Jen Chang and Hong Thaimee | Friday 7:30pm | West New York NJ | Topic - How to be a Christian professional in NYC (metro area) | Being a Christian in the professional world often seems like an impossible task. Using the Bible as a source we will address topics that are directly related to being a professional in the metro area (such as what it means to be being light/salt in the corporate environment, how to view our success-driven culture, etc). |
| Susan Kim and Albert and Linda Kao | Friday 7:30pm | Edgewater, NJ | The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate | We all know that the greatest commandment is to love. However, relatively few of us know how to express our love in the heart language of our family and friends. Fortunately, in The Five Love Languages Gary Chapman identifies the five primary love languages and teaches us how to use these languages to express our love. Although this edition of The Five Love Languages was written specifically for couples, the basic principles Chapman explores will apply to all relationships. This is a great group for couples, but all are welcome. |
