ADULTS

Foundations of Apologetics
Led by: Bob Cook
Do you want to ….bolster your personal faith… help friends and family who may be struggling with the validity of the Bible… engage intellectually with non-believers, and be relevant in the discussions of today?  This 7 week series will help you to develop a well-reasoned, intellectual defense of the truth claims of the Christian faith.  While the greatest defense of our faith is what God has personally accomplished in our lives, we will explore how to make a defense of Christianity and the Bible using logic, philosophy, history, science, and other disciplines.
Living the Beatitudes
Led by: Sherry Maxsom
What does it mean to be blessed? And, more importantly, how do we become someone who is blessed? The kind of life God is calling us to may not look the way we imagined, but it will be better than we could have hoped. Through Jesus’ teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like.
Essentials of Prayer

Using the basic prayer acronym of ACTS as a foundation, this study will take participants deeper into the four components of prayer as a means of deepening one’s prayer experience.

Redeeming Art Ministry: Light and Shadows
Led by: Cindy Prieto
In this six week course, we will study light and shadows and learn God’s desire for us to be light for our world.  Our focus scriptures will be 1 John 1:5-7 – “…God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.  But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
We will be working in oil paint and will complete three paintings during this class, a still life, a landscape and a portrait.  In each painting we will study the use of light and shadow to create depth and realism in our works.  Each week we will also study a different scripture focusing on God’s desire for us to be light in our world and what that means for our discipleship journey.  
Class will not meet March 26
