Prayer Meeting
|
The Lord gives us a great opportunity when He invites us to, “Call unto me and I will answer you!” (Jer. 33:3). We certainly have many areas in our lives, church, community, nation, and world in which we need God’s help. In what areas would you like the Lord to answer you about? Let’s not waste this great privilege! Join us in prayer at any or all of our prayer meetings:
- Tuesdays at 12:00 p.m. Prayer Group in the library
- Wednesdays at 5:45 p.m. Prayer Meeting in Room A-1

Grandmothers in Prayer
|
Each month a group of grandmothers from our church meet together to pray for our grandchildren. We use a study book to focus on specific areas of grandparenting as well as to encourage us in our own spiritual growth. Some of our grandchildren live nearby, and some live far away; some are very young and others are adults. It doesn’t matter how far away they live, or what their ages are, we uphold them in our prayers. Our group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month in the church parlor (A4) at 9:30 a.m. We welcome all grandmothers who would like to meet for a time of sharing and group prayer. For further information contact Anita Hare (790-0603). |

Disturbing Divine Behavior: Troubling Old Testament Images of God
God’s behavior in the Old Testament often makes readers of the Bible very uncomfortable. Such behavior raises troubling questions about the character of God. We will explore this issue by looking at selected portions of Eric Seibert’s book Disturbing Divine Behavior: Troubling Old Testament Images of God (Fortress Press, 2009) and discuss ways in which to deal with them in theologically responsible ways (first six weeks).
For the remainder of the term, we will engage in discussions based on the writings of Greg Boyd, theologian and well-known author.
Teachers: Eric Seibert (Jan. 3 – Feb. 7),
Randy Basinger (Feb. 21 – May 30)
Facilitators: Ken and Yvonne Martin

Simply Scripture: The Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Mark may be the shortest of the four Gospels, but what it lacks in length is made up in its action-packed recounting of Jesus’ ministry and miracles. Join us in this scriptural study as we explore the Son of Man from his servanthood to his ultimate sacrifice for us all. (For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”— Mark 10:45) The class is multi-generational with a relaxed, interactive format. All are welcome.
Class Coordinator: Patti Hess
Teachers: Geoff Isley and Richard Roberson

UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity
Beginning in January the College and Young Adult Class will be studying UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity, written by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons. The authors delve into the image of Christianity held by many people in America. In particular, they utilize extensive interviews and research to build a picture of how Christianity is perceived particularly among younger adults. The goal is to understand how we might learn to “live wisely among those who are not Christians” so we might better represent Jesus to our friends, neighbors, and the surrounding culture.
