Details

LINK Groups are the main small group at FirstLight. LINK Groups help you link yourselves to the Bible and to others. Each LINK Groups study the same topic. LINK Groups discuss the previous Sunday’s sermon. LINK Groups are discussion-based and not lecture-driven. They are accessible to Bible beginners and those who know the Bible well. LINK Groups are 10 weeks long and start at 4 different times of the year. To express interest in an upcoming LINK Group, contact Bobbie Cissell at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Third Thursdays Book Club!

Status of Groups:

Will meet the 3rd Thursday of each month at FirstLight Downtown. Participants can read the books on their own prior to meeting for a one night discussion. Most books should be available at the library, etc. If there are copies at FirstLight downtown, it will be noted with each book below. Please read and return copies to FLDT as soon as you can so others can read it, too :)

September 15th 7PM - Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent.

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.

October 20th 7pm - The Shack by William P. Young (2 copies at FLDT)

Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

November 17th 7pm Same Kind of Different As Me - By Ron Hall, Denver Moore, Lynn Vincent (2 copies at FLDT).

Meet Denver, a man raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana in the 1960s; a man who escaped, hopping a train to wander, homeless, for eighteen years on the streets of Dallas, Texas. No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless-until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together.But slavery takes many forms.
