ARRANGEMENTS FOR NANCY CANTRELL
Several
know Nancy Cantrell, who lived on Holmes Avenue and was a member of the
West Huntsville Church of Christ. She passed away a few weeks ago. There will
be a memorial service at the West Huntsville church today (Sunday, January 2nd)
at 2:00 p.m.
TORNADO DISASTER RESPONSE
There
is a recent development in Mayfield that makes our trip unlikely. There has
been an outbreak of COVID-19 among the coordinating people, and they are waving
off volunteers. At this time, we should postpone our trip until later in
January at the earliest, but the actual date will need to be determined. Please
keep praying for the people there.

SUNDAY ADULT CLASS OPTIONS – WINTER TERM 2022
January 2 through February 27
1. The Story of Redemption (Gymnasium; Coordinator:
Loren Wisehart)
This
series presents the biblical account of the human problem, salvation, and a new
life in Jesus Christ. Beginning with creation, the class follows the “big
picture” storyline of the Bible as it finds meaning and completion in Jesus.
Each
week, participants are invited to arrive early for fellowship. Upon entering
the gymnasium, participants will be assisted in finding a small group. After a
call to order and welcome, all groups will watch a 5-10
minute video. Once the video is done, groups will read a Bible passage
related to the video, discuss questions, and pray for one another. Groups will
wrap up at 9:45 a.m. in order to move chairs into place for the large assembly
which begins at 10:15 am. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83086751743?pwd=RjNTYVR3QXNUUDRXYUxtN25VRmM0QT09
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 CLASS OPTIONS –
WINTER TERM 2022
January
5 through March 2
1. Generational Discipleship (Room 200; Leader:
Daniel Alavi)
The
Church in the West is facing a steep decline, yet the Body of Christ worldwide
is thriving like never before. The center of Christianity is slowly moving
towards the Global South, into areas and people groups where the church has virtually
no major denominational leanings, no governmental recognition or legitimacy, no
bank accounts, no 501c3s, no Bible Schools or seminaries, and no assets,
properties, or buildings. In spite of this, hundreds of churches are being
planted, thousands of disciples are being made, and millions are being baptized
into the name of Jesus!
2. God’s Promises Fulfilled in the Gospel
According to Matthew (Room 113; Leader: Loren Wisehart)
In the
Old Testament, God made some amazing promises to people like Abraham, Israel,
and David. These promises established how God related with His people for
centuries. In the New Testament, one of the things that distinguishes Matthew’s
biography of Jesus from other similar accounts is how from cover to cover, he demonstrates
how Jesus fulfills these promises. In this short overview of the Gospel
According to Matthew, we will examine how Jesus fulfills these promises and
explore how they remain relevant for our lives today. This class can either be
in-person or join in on Zoom. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86363371603?pwd=cjM1bmFxZ0kyTU5SR1VQUlN2QlpOZz09
