ADULT CLASSES
“The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church -This adult class will help you to understand why you are alive, and God's amazing plan for your life-both here and now, and for eternity.  Through video presentation and group discussion, we will be guided through a personal study that will transform your answer to life's most important question: What on earth am I here for?  All adults welcome.  Facilitator:  Janellen Kucharek, meets in Room 102
“Fire on the Mountain” by Ray Vander Laan – When the Israelites left Egypt, they were finally free. Free from persecution, free from oppression, and free to worship their own God. But with that freedom comes a new challenge - learning how to live together the way God intends. Discover how God teaches the Israelites what it means to be part of a community that loves him and the lessons we can begin to live out in our lives today. The study is a video presentation and discussion.  Facilitator – Carol Dezur, meets in Room 109.

Parent Discussion Group – Parents talking with other parents about topics that are of interest to the group.  A time for discussion and fellowship.  The group will decide if they would like a curriculum.  Will meet in the Library.

FAMILY INTEGRATED CLASS

The Family Integrated Class is designed for people of all ages, and families of all shapes and sizes.  It is designed to give an understanding of the Bible, and a realization of what Jesus’ life, death and resurrection means for us today.  It is primarily a roundtable discussion that includes Scripture reading, 5-10 minutes of a DVD, and usually an activity for the kids that is related to the lesson.  You do not have to have children to participate. Will meet in Fellowship Hall.
