THE GOSPEL OF MARK
Wednesdays, Sept. 12 - Dec. 19, 4:30-5:30 pm
Many believe Mark's Gospel was the first to be written. It has a lot of zip and punch. Join us as we learn about Jesus, God and ourselves.

DISCOVERING GOD'S PRESENCE IN YOUR STORY
Mondays, Sept. 17 – Oct. 22, 6:30-8:00 pm
 
How can we come to know God, who loves us beyond measure? How can we surrender to his love and his purpose for our life? Learn to see God’s presence and turning points in your life story, and how to leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren.

This is the first in a series of three classes. The second class, "Becoming the Person God Created You to Be" will be offered in January, 2019. The third class, "Living the Life You Were Meant to Live" is being offered concurrently with this class, and again in March, 2019.

LIVING THE LIFE YOU WERE MEANT TO LIVE
Mondays, Sept. 17 – Oct. 22, 6:30-8:00 pm
 
Many people are not living the life God created them to live. We are challenged to change this, not by our own strength, but by yielding to God’s desires. Discover God’s purpose for your life and how to live it out, for our own benefit and the benefit of others.
