Through DISCIPLE, persons will be strengthened in their faith and guided into service and ministry. This series includes DISCIPLE series , CHRISTIAN BELIEVER, and JESUS IN THE GOSPELS.

This 28-week spiritual journey will draw you into daily relationship with God through individual reading and reflection, and will gather you weekly with others in your faith community for deeper exploration.
This study does not meet during Fall 2004.

High School Sunday School Class
As a teenage student, we sometimes feel ready to challenge what we have been taught about God as a child to see if a life of faith is relevant to where we are now. Maybe we don’t remember some of the stories we heard about Jesus or the many other people described in the 66 books that make up the Bible. Maybe what goes on in our groups of friends makes us wonder what we’re “supposed to believe or do/not do”. We know that life is just not always fair. As we try to make sense out of what’s happening around us and to us, our ideas about God and faith in God may need refreshing. The High School Sunday School class makes an attempt to fill a need for values and a faith that are reliable and relevant. Its focus is on life becoming fair. That is F.A.I.R, meaning Faith Applied in Reality. Everyone will be welcomed!

Monday Night Bible Study will meet at the home of Fred and Nancy Brooks this week and are continuing out study of Revelation.

Tuesday Night Bible Study, 7:00-8:30 p.m., will meet at the home of Julia Blackwood. The book of Romans is being studied.
