“Experiencing the Words of Jesus” with Marjorie Black – Jesus’ ministry on this earth lasted only three and a half years, yet in that time His words turned heads, turned hearts, and ultimately turned the world upside down. Jesus, the Master teacher summarized prayer in five phrases (Matt. 6:9-13). He summarized the Law in three verses (Mark 12:29-31), and He reduced all His teachings to one command (John 15:12). He made his point and went home. This study focuses only on the words of Jesus.
“Conversational Spanish” with Ana Elliott – Have you ever wished that you knew just enough Spanish to be friendly when you met Hispanic friends in the highways and byways of life? This is your opportunity. Come join others in a relaxed setting and learn enough Spanish to offer hospitality and basic phrases to communicate with others.
“Encourage One Another” Card Making Class with Ann Parker – Join with others in creating greetings cards to be sent as messages of encouragement. Each night we will create and complete a specific card. They will be sent to people who are receiving continuing care, people who are ill, military friends, missionaries, public servants, and our Sunday School teachers. No experience or equipment needed.
“Pastor’s Bible Study” with Pastors Allen and Chris – Join our Pastors as they take us into the Scriptures. If you are a seasoned Christian or if you are only beginning in your faith journey, this class will help you open the Word of the Lord. All you need is your Bible.
“Gift of Fear” with Tom Albin – We will discuss the difference between healthy fear and unhealthy worry and anxiety. Using Gavin de Becker’s book, The Gift of Fear as a springboard for conversation, we will include the Bible and Christian tradition to help us discern the way to live wise, faithful, Christ-centered lives; in the midst of a broken world where those who have chosen the path of the world often seek to control, manipulate or harm others. This class will be particularly helpful to those who have had to deal with people who will not respect appropriate boundaries in relationships and will not take “no” as a final answer.
“Disciple I” with Ron and Bette Jean O’Nan – DISCIPLE is a program of disciplined Bible study that takes a group of 10 to 12 persons with leaders guiding them through the entire Old and New Testaments. The group has a study manual, weekly presentations by scholars to aid in understanding of the Bible, and group discussions based on insights gleaned from home study. The entire course lasts 32 weeks but will be broken into 4 quarters thus you are only committing to a quarter at a time.
