Gripping Point

I am excited about the next series for our community groups. It is called Gripping Point: What do you hang onto when there is nothing left to grab onto?

The Gripping Point
Mountain climber Craig DeMartino fell 96 feet, shattering his feet and ankles, snapping his neck and back, puncturing a lung...

And then things got bad.

Join Craig DeMartino on the mountains that took his leg—and nearly his life.

Five years after a catastrophic fall, Craig and his family consider lessons learned about coping with pain . . . relying on God . . . and finding answers to impossible questions.

This 6-session small group video series exploring the problem of pain will challenge your small group to tackle questions like . . .

* If God loves us, why won’t he protect us?
* What’s the worst question to ask when you’re in pain
* How can you best help someone who’s suffering?
* How might pain be the best thing that’s happened to you
* How does your attitude impact your pain?
* How can people in pain ever trust God again?

Each 1-hour session prompts your small group members to experience Craig’s life . . . share their own stories of pain and disappointment . . . and develop a faith that endures hardship.



On April 13th, all youth are invited to come out to our 2 hour Gripping Point Kick Off. Come at 6pm for a community meal at the farmhouse and at 7pm we will kick this series off together and then break into our community groups.

You will not want to miss this series.

note: Quetico participants need to attend the Quetico meeting at 6pm on the 13th in the auditorium.
