Shaping God's Covenant Community
A Series on Deuteronomy
Passage: Deuteronomy 2:1-3:29
What makes a group of individuals into a community? Shared history, experiencing tragedy together, failure and triumph, a common place, agreed upon rules of conduct, common truth? In this book God shapes the nomadic people who fled from Egypt into a covenant community, using all those elements, making them ready for the final stage in their formation, the acquisition of a place of their own. From this book we learn today what it means to be shaped into a covenant community belonging to God in the midst of a hostile world.

Adult Ed Classes
January and February
An Adopting Church: Addressing the Orphan Crisis One Family at a Time
Teachers:
Dave Kulp and more
Where:
3rd Floor Boardroom
When:
9:15 am
Based on the latest estimations from UNICEF, there are currently 26 million orphans in the world. What an overwhelming number! Although scripture calls all Christians to care for orphans, what role does the church play in the orphan crisis? How does every family accept that call? This class is designed for those that are considering adoption, those that have adopted and those that do not feel called to adopt but want to figure out what their role looks like. Come hear more on the following topics: the theology of adoption, discerning a call to adopt, the practical aspects of pursuing adoption, the blessings and challenges of adoption, and the role of the church in addressing the orphan crisis. There will also be two panel discussions: one with families who have adopted and one with people who were adopted. Come join us to hear how our spiritual adoption shapes how we think about adoption.
New Hope For A New Year: Leaning on Jesus for Lasting Change
Teachers:
Dave Latham and more
Where: Resource Center
When:
9:15 am
Let's face it; beginning a new year is exhausting. We make new year's resolutions that will help us eat more healthy, workout more, make more money, take more vacations, spend more time with friends, but by the time February comes around we are right back where we started. What does it look like to make a lasting heart change that helps us get more involved in the life of the church and to become more like Christ? This class will strive to provide a new hope for a new year by addressing areas of our lives that we need more than a resolution, but a Savior that can provide the true life and strength.
