Staff Update, Freed Up, Women’s Study, and more!

Week 3 | Peace of Mind

How do you experience financial peace of mind? How much money in the bank do you need to have in order to feel secure? In Silicon Valley, we live under immense financial pressure, riddled with anxiety about the future, with financial peace ever elusive. God wants to help you break free and experience true financial peace of mind.

Join us this Sunday for Week 3 of our Unstuck Series, Peace of Mind, as we discover God’s path to financial peace of mind.

Staff Update!

Awakening is excited to announce the formation of a new staff role, Local Outreach Coordinator! Brian Warren, our Volunteerism Director, has graciously accepted the new, part-time role, helping provide focused oversight on the continued formation and expansion of our impact into the local community. As our biweekly food pantry continues to serve the under-resourced in our community, we know that God is asking us to expand our tangible impact in the name of Jesus.

Along with Brian’s long-term commitment to Awakening, his former experience in law enforcement has propelled him into the awareness of community needs, with hopes of allowing us to be a growing conduit with our faith-based partners.

If you have a desire to be a part of growing our local impact with Brian, please reach out to him directly at [email protected]!

January Reading Plan | Proverbs

As we begin 2024 we want to seek God’s wisdom for navigating life’s complexities and how to step into a life of freedom and fulfillment. Join us every day in January with our Proverbs reading plan as we seek His wisdom in our UNSTUCK teaching series. Ryan will be providing a weekly memory verse each Sunday during his sermon that you won’t want to miss!

Young Professionals

Join us for our last gathering of the month as we learn about using our gifts for the kingdom with Awakening’s Local Outreach Coordinator, Brian Warren! We hope to see you there THIS Thursday, January 18th from 7-8:30pm at the Awakening Offices!

FreedUp Small Groups

We discovered through our last church survey that financial and budgeting pressures were an incredibly felt need in our community. We are launching a small group campaign at the end of the month going through a 7-week study called FreedUp. FreedUp is a scripture-based program that’s focused on your financial habits to thrive financially and grow spiritually; whether you are in debt or not. If you are already in a small group you will be going through this content starting January 21st. Click the link below for more information on this study and how to get plugged into a group if you are not in one already!

Women’s Spring 2024 Study

Over 10 sessions, discover how God orchestrates everything for His glory and the good of His people, and see how the God of creation and covenant is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Join the women of Awakening this Spring for a 10-week study using Jen Wilkin’s study “God of Covenant”. There will be 2 studies offered, one starting on Tuesday, 1/23, and the other starting on Saturday, 2/3. Spots fill up quickly so sign up today!

Calling ALL 6th-12th Graders!

It’s that time of year… we are returning to Hume Lake for Winter Camp! This weekend is for 6-12th grade and we are so excited to bring all of our students with us! Join us March 1st-3rd and sign up today as spots are limited!

Parenting with Mental Health in Mind

A kid’s inner world has the power to shape everything – their social lives, academics, and their overall mental state. But statistics are showing that anxiety, depression, self-harm, and so many other mental and emotional challenges are on the rise among our kids and teens. If that thought makes you overwhelmed or scared, you’re not alone. We’re here to help.

We’ve partnered with Parent Cue and Dr. Chinwé Willians to provide some essential insights that will help you learn the psychology of what’s going on in your kid’s brain and science-based, practical tools to help you navigate your kid’s mental health.

Join us for Parenting with Mental Health in Mind, a free event for parents of 4th-12th graders on February 9th from 6:30-8pm at the Awakening Offices!
