This week, Jess Ray shares the story of a marriage that had reached the brink — the point where divorce felt less like a decision and more like an inevitability. But God had another plan, and it started in a way Jess didn't see coming: with her husband Todd giving his life to the Lord.

What followed wasn't instant. Jess talks about the steady, patient work of God in the years that came after — the slow healing of broken things, the trust that had to be rebuilt piece by piece, and what it looks like when the Lord restores something that both people had nearly given up on.

If your marriage feels like it's past saving, or you're waiting on God to move in someone you love, this conversation is for you.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."
— Ecclesiastes 3:11

Small Group highlight - 33 the Series!

33 The Series is a Christian men’s discipleship/video study from Authentic Manhood. Its central idea is learning authentic manhood by looking at the life and example of Jesus during His 33 years on earth.
The first volume consists of 6 sessions (about 30 minutes of video teaching), followed by discussion and practical application:

1. A Man and His Design — God’s design for manhood
2. A Man and His Story — understanding your past and how it shaped you
3. A Man and His Traps — dealing with things such as lust, fear, control, and significance
4. A Man and His Work — purpose, work, and calling
5. A Man and His Marriage — God’s vision for marriage
6. A Man and His Fatherhood — becoming a godly, effective father

In short: it’s designed to help men grow spiritually, understand their identity and responsibilities, strengthen relationships, and become men of character through a biblical, Gospel-centered understanding of manhood.

When: Mondays, beginning October 12 from 6:00-8:00 pm
Where: Vineyard Church, 90 Lewiston Street, Mechanic Falls

Small Group highlight - ALPHA!

Join us for ALPHA, a welcoming space to explore life's big questions!

Our 8 week ALPHA Course offers a relaxed and friendly opportunity to discover the basics of the Christian faith - no pressure, no judgment, and completely free.

Each evening begins with a delicious shared meal. This is a great chance to connect, enjoy good food, and meet new people in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

After the meal, you'll watch a short, engaging talk that explores key topics like "Who is Jesus?", "Why and how do I pray?", "How does God guide us?", and more. These talks are designed to spark thoughtful conversation and address the real questions people have about life, faith, and meaning.

Then comes the best part: open, honest discussion in small groups. Share your thoughts, ask anything, or simply listen – everyone is welcome exactly as they are. It's a safe space where questions are encouraged and every perspective matters.

We also provide free childcare during the sessions, so parents and caregivers can fully participate without worry.

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, have questions you've always wanted to ask, or just want to enjoy good conversation over a meal, ALPHA is for you.

Come as you are – we'd love to have you!

Small Group highlight - THE FOURFOLD GOSPEL!

Welcome to The Fourfold Gospel, an eight-week small group journey exploring the complete, transformative ministry of Jesus Christ.
Over the next eight weeks, we will spend two sessions on each of the four core pillars of Christ’s work as outlined in A. B. Simpsons book.
The pillars are: Savior (who forgives our sins and grants eternal life), Sanctifier (who shapes our character in holiness daily), Healer (who brings physical and emotional wholeness), and Coming King (who will return in power and glory). The course is structured to combine solid Kingdom theology with daily application and practical, hands-on ministry.

When: Wednesdays, beginning September 23 at 6:30 pm
Where: Vineyard Church Office, 98 Lewiston Street, Mechanic Falls
