2.   Women’s Ministry (Library; Coordinators: Sue Underwood and Kim Story)

This class provides Bible-based content in a LIFE Talk setting and is set up to minister to women who are the head of their household and women whose husbands are not Christians. Women of all ages and situations are welcome who wish to participate in this ministry. The class is generally organized to alternate between Old Testament and New Testament books, topics, and ideas. However, prayer and sharing are also integral parts of the class. As participants begin to apply the teaching to their own lives, they are invited to openly share burdens with one another. This is so that others who have walked that path previously can share their own experience and wisdom in how to face that situation faithfully. While two ladies provide the principal oversight for the class, a number of ladies from within the class will be encouraged to lead individual sessions, usually a week or two at a time.

WEDNESDAY ADULT CLASSES (7:00 PM)

Fall Term: September 7 through November 30 (Thanksgiving Devo on Nov 23)

1.   1 & 2 Samuel (Family Life Center and Online; Teachers: Robert Wade and others)

Every year or two, it seems like we have an election to determine new political leaders. When we vote for leaders, what do we look for? More importantly, when God chooses leaders, what does He look for? This class will tell the story of Israel during the time that its kingdom was being established for the first time. Practical application will focus on timeless principles derived from this ancient account. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09

It has been said, “If you get Romans, God will get you!”  Join us this fall as we take an in-depth look at the first six chapters of Romans in order to grow in our understanding of the profound truths Paul relays in this text.  Each week class participants will study the assigned reading independently and join together on Wednesday evenings to discuss their insights. To allow for a more in-depth look at the text, we will only cover 1/2 chapter per week.  You can attend the class in person at the building or from home on  Zoom.  If you have questions, please contact Melinda Goad.
