Beyond Basics
The Bible teaches us that faith is all that is required for salvation. If we are good
Presbyterians, we may also believe that our salvation (or lack thereof) is predestined. Why then, are we here? What are we supposed to do if no action is required? Join us as we use Charles Colson’s book, "How Now Shall We Live?" as a filter to discuss this question. Led by Allen McCarley. All are welcome in Room 203-204.

Partners with Christ
"Partners" is an adult Sunday School class open to men and women of all ages and stages of life. Our goal is to strengthen and deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other by studying His word and sharing what we are learning. Several different teachers facilitate discussion, with curriculum based on the interests of the members and where the Holy Spirit leads the class. We use books, DVDs and other materials, but always in support of our primary focus, the Bible: God’s written word to His people. Newcomers are more than welcome to join in at any time. The class ranges in size from 15 to 40, depending on the Sunday.

Sacred Marriage Class
Everything about your marriage--everything--is filled with prophetic potential, with the capacity for discovering and revealing Christ's character. The respect you accord your partner; the forgiveness you humbly seek and graciously extend; the ecstasy, awe, and sheer fun of lovemaking; the history you and your spouse build with one another--in these and other facets of your marriage, Sacred Marriage uncovers the mystery of God's overarching purpose. This class may very well alter profoundly the contours of your marriage. It will most certainly change you. Because whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God, and to a spiritual integrity that, like salt, seasons the world around you with the savor of Christ.
Join us for this six week study, which will start February 21 and run through March 28, to enrich your marriage and your spiritual walk.
