SINGLE MOM CLASS

This class is open to all single mothers (by any circumstance) who strive to be strong women and amazing mothers. Join us as we read Angela Thomas’ book, My Single Mom Life. We’ll share stories and practical lessons about motherhood, loneliness, guilt, finances, finding happiness, and...eek...even dating. We’ll find encouragement as we give it all over to God, because He will love us through it.”

THE INTRODUCTION TO CENTERING PRAYER
The Introduction to Centering Prayer will focus our desire to understand and discipline our prayer life and offer a detailed study of the practice of Contemplative Christianity. Centering Prayer does not replace other types of prayer, but gives new depth of meaning to all forms of prayer. We will learn and practice Centering Prayer in the class with a deep desire to develop our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior.

FAITH LESSIONS ON THE MESSIAH
Faith Lessons On The Life& Ministry Of The Messiah
Focuses on the birth of Jesus, His life, and His short but powerful ministry—a ministry that changed the course of history. Teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan brings together history, culture and geography to illuminate the Gospels. Filmed on location in Israel and throughout the Middle East, this DVD is an adventure in Biblical learning. You will discover why Jesus turned the world upside down with His compelling call to follow Him. Using these eight DVD lessons we will walk with Jesus through the days of His ministry on this earth. The insights you gain are designed to transform your reading of the Gospels and inspire a deeper faith commitment.

JAMES: MERCY TRIUMPHS
by Beth Moore
This study is very different from any other study she has done. The book of James by itself should be called the “how to” book on being a Christian with its practical application to our daily lives. What good is your faith anyway? Be inspired to put your faith into action in practical ways as you get to know the man and the Book of James. Beth Moore has included five levels of participation and you get to choose what works best for you and your schedule. She also includes mission action projects, which you may also choose to participate in as a result of the study. Warning: This study could be life changing and life challenging.
Led by Melrose Krenek
Sessions: 11-weeks
Cost: No charge
for level 1 participants,

SACRED MARRIAGE
Your marriage is much more than a union between you and your spouse. It is a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately. Sacred Marriage shifts the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God. While this class focuses on marriage, attendance by both spouses is not required and all are welcome to attend.
Led by Brandon & Debbi Kelly
Meeting: 11-sessions
Cost: $5 for the book


CRAZY LOVE
This is an 11-week study based on the book and workbook: Crazy Love by Francis Chan. His thought provoking teaching will help you pursue God as you never have before as you grapple with the hard questions about the love of God and how that love should change the way you live. After all, the Christian journey is about so much more than what we’ve made it to be and once we truly encounter God’s love, we will never be the same.
Led by Kevin & Lillian Hughes
Sessions: 11-weeks
Cost: $15 for book and workbook


CHASING LIONS
What if the life you really want, and the future God wants for you, is hiding right now in your biggest problem, your worst failure or your greatest fear? The best book I have read in a long time is Mark Batterson’s In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day based on an obscure passage in 2 Samuel 23. The book is filled with insight and encouragement as the author challenges us to practice good stewardship of ALL of life’s God-ordained opportunities. We will study and discuss skills that will help us chase lions for God’s glory.
Led by Pastor John Cook
Sessions: 6-weeks
Cost: $10 for book
