walk on waterDave Shrom and Bart Shaffer will lead this class beginning with a book by John Ortberg entitled ‘If You Want To Walk On the Water You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat’.  This class is for those persons who, when they jump into water, sink. (If you don’t sink we would like to interview you for advice.)  These lessons are about overcoming the obstacles that keep us from ’stepping out’.

In the Parlor

july-4-fireworksA Dynamic Christian Life facilitated by Bruce VanPatter  What kind of people does God want us to be?  We all know the basics, but how does one keep His expectations from becoming a joyless to-do list?  Life in Christ should be an engaging transformation — God changing you, in the context of his people, to be more like Jesus.  That’s what we’ll be exploring together in this class.  Starting off with a study series on Christian Character, then following with Christian Community and Worship, the class will be digging into scriptural passages to get the perspective and power that we need to live dynamically in Christ.


Lifr Group Leaders Seminar

lifegroupsSmall groups are a key way in which we can all grow closer to the Lord and to each other. Our network of groups — now renamed Life Groups — is healthy and vibrant.  Nearly 100 people are meeting regularly to share and study God’s word!  In order to keep this ministry growing, Jesse and Liz North will be leading training sessions the 3rd Sunday of each month during Sunday University time. The Norths will be sharing insights they’ve gained from their extensive experience with small groups on college campuses.  They’ll be engaging those who come in practical discussions about how to apply those principles to their own gatherings.  If you are currently leading a small group (regularly or occasionally) or if you’re curious about how small groups work, come join these sessions.  They’ll help to make your group effective and vital! See you in the Library!
