Sundays, January 9-30 | 10:15 am
“Crazy-Making: Why We Keep Doing What We Don’t Want to Do” – a new 4 week series on breaking bad habits in the new year!
As we begin a new year with new goals and resolutions, join us in HomeBuilders to learn how we can invite Jesus to help us break the unhealthy habits and patterns in our lives and families! Click here to watch a preview of this new HomeBuilders class study!
We all have patterns in our lives that we just can’t seem to shake. No matter how disciplined we are or how much willpower we have, eventually we find ourselves repeating the same patterns again. It’s crazy-making! Everyone’s struggle is different: it might look like criticizing, substance abuse, overworking, sexual sin, people-pleasing, or hundreds of others. Did you know that Jesus has given us a way out of these crazy-making cycles?
As followers of Jesus, we are called to let his truth and grace transform our real, here-and-now lives. Join us in HomeBuilders as we explore where these patterns come from, why we keep repeating them, and how to stop the crazy and live in the freedom Jesus makes possible!

Women's Bible Study - Trustworthy
Begins Tuesday, January 18 | Morning and Evening Sessions
When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try.
In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, we will join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.
Study guides can be purchased on Amazon. We do not want the cost of the guide to cause anyone to miss this study! Please reach out to Suzy Wolf at suzywolf@stphilipsfrisco.org for financial assistance if needed.
Childcare is available at no cost with a reservation.
Morning session | In-person in the Study | Tuesdays, January 18 – February 22 | 9:30 am – 11 am

Evening session | In-person in the Study or Online | Tuesdays, January 18 – February 22 | 6:30 pm – 8 pm
Mom Connect Spring 2022
Feb. 3 - Apr. 28 | 9:30-11 am | Every other Thursday
We would LOVE for you to join us in Mom Connect, our fun moms’ group at St. Philip’s! Connect with other moms as we grow our faith, laugh, comfort, encourage and have FUN together through the journey of motherhood! Please join us every other Thursday from February 3-April 28 at 9:30 am (immediately following preschool chapel) in the Sanctuary! Childcare is provided at no charge. We also have fun Moms’ Night Out events throughout the year!
This semester we’ll be watching Mom Set Free together – a video based study with author Jeannie Cunnion. Watch a sneak peek here: https://youtu.be/SP8jGQrE_Gs. Moms are under constant pressure to get it right in all areas of life – work, home, family, and faith – but impossible standards leave us oscillating between worry, fear, anger, and shame. In this 7-session study, discover how the gospel message can empower you to parent in the freedom of God’s sovereignty, so that you can breathe deeper, walk lighter, and enjoy your children more than ever before.
Questions? Contact Sarah McKee.
+ Register here to attend and for childcare for the semester.
Pathways to Generosity
As we turned our focus to stewardship during October, the prayer, “Lord, where do you want me to be in my giving to St. Philip’s?” was the foundation of what we call Pathways to Generosity.
- Examine your personal giving and how it reflects your relationship with Christ.
- Reflect on the understanding that stewardship is about raising disciples, not money.
- Discern how you will respond in your giving.
