Building Blocks Study Options
Our Building Blocks options for January and February are off to a great start, and it is not too late to join us for this unique opportunity for study and reflection! If you're not a regular attender on Wednesday nights, why not consider trying something new this week? The great fellowship of the FBC family alone is worth your time, as are the personal growth possibilities offered by these studies:
BLOCK ONE: The Way of Christian Mysticism: This study explores the simple pathways of mysticism—awareness, contemplation, compassion, suffering, discovery, transformation, and openness. This group will be led by Dr. Bill Harris in the Maulin Classroom (Room 208).
BLOCK TWO: Lesser Known Bible Characters: This study explores the stories of some of the people who are often overlooked when studying the scriptures. This group will be led by Mary Frances Thompson in the Trinity Classroom (Room 211).
BLOCK THREE: Money Solutions from Grandma: The Growing on Grace Street group will host this study which examines some of the money management principles taught by Dave Ramsey in his best selling book The Total Money Makeover. The focus will be on sound ways to track monthly expenses and get out of debt. This group will be led by Dr. David Jennings in the Carpenter Classroom (Room 10).

The fellowship hall will be available again this Wednesday, beginning at 5:45 pm, for those wishing to share food and fellowship around the tables prior to evening activities. Bring something tasty (including a drink) and join us. |
