Growing in Grace
Families with preschool to high school-age children • (E-005)

“Caring for One Another” – The care of souls is what the church is about. By His Word and Spirit, Jesus comforts and counsels us in our troubles, so that we may comfort and counsel others in their troubles. Indeed, the most wonderful community imaginable is a church in which each of us is learning to care for one another by offering His true words wrapped in His loving ways (Ephesians 4:11-16). This series will draw from Scripture the essential skills for fulfilling this mission; even better it will help you put these skills into practice within your everyday relationships. Teacher: Greg Norfleet. Team Leaders: Bakers, Marshalls, Martins, McClurkins. CP: Eric Reebals. SP: Benny Youngblood.

Growing Together
Families with preschool to college-age children • (G-103)

“God at Work Among His People” – God at Work Among His People: Ezra-Nehemiah. God is faithful to Himself, fulfilling every one of His promises, including the promise to set apart a people for Himself who will follow Him faithfully according to His Word. In Ezra-Nehemiah, God’s steadfast love takes center stage as He returns His covenant people from exile, restores proper worship in His temple, renews His people in light of His Word, and rebuilds the walls of David’s city. Yet this narrative leaves a nagging sense that something is missing. God’s work among His people still needed what would take place 400 years later. As God’s plan continues to unfold today, this study will help us see how God is at work among His people in every generation until Jesus returns. Teacher: Jim Alexander. Team Leaders: Blacks, Denards, Ellers, Iveys, Worrells. CP: Rob Looper. SP: Bobby Parks.

Teacher: Steve Adams. Team Leaders: Hursts, Marvin Keffer, Scotts, Warlicks. CP & SP: Bobby Parks.

Hearts and Homes
A community for 50’s and up, both couples & singles • (A-204)

“The Kingdom of God in the Gospels” – What comes to mind when you read in the Gospels, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand?” Or, “The kingdom of God is like…”?

Deeper Life
Empty nesters through great-grandparents • (Chapel)

“The Greatest Story Ever Told” – The narrative genre constitutes over 40% of the Bible (the largest), and also provides the unifying backbone and context for all the other books of the Bible. All of it either culminates in, or flows from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, thus we can rightly describe the entirety of this grand story as the Gospel of God. Join us this winter as we explore the Biblical Narrative with the aim of reaching a fuller and deeper appreciation of what God has done for us! Teacher: Saeyoung Park. Team Leaders: Al Black, Blacks, Blounts, Craigs, Bill Fox, Joyce Ann Jackson, Bill Kendall, Rick Lathem, Lee McCarty, Bill Moulton, Bill Rudd, Barbara Ryals, Willises, Greg Wolchok, Woodalls.

Empty nesters through great-grandparents • (FH-E&F)

“The Gospel of Mark” – We will primarily be looking at the gospel of Mark but will pull from the other gospels as well.

Team Leaders: Bill Armistead, Doug Dickinson, Huffs, Whaleys, CP & SP: Wright Draper.

Joyful Hearts
Empty nesters through great-grandparents • (A-105)

“Hang On, Hope is On the Way” – Together, we will explore the Biblical concept of hope by delving into the lives of heroes of the faith such as Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Peter, James, Paul, and Jesus. Through Scripture, we will discover what true hope is, where it comes from, and how it differs from the misconceptions often found in popular culture. Join us as we learn how to build a foundation of hope in God’s promises and faithfulness, enabling us to live fruitful and resilient lives. Teacher: Jay Mathews. Team Leaders: Shaws. CP & SP: Wright Draper.

International Community
English-speaking internationals • (E-218, School Library)

“Colossians” – The Bible describes salvation many ways – foremost among these ways is the idea of union with Christ. Indeed, our union with Christ is the foundation of every other blessing we receive in the gospel (such as justification, adoption, sanctification, and others). In his letter to the church at Colossae, the apostle Paul discusses our union with Christ and the effect this reality has upon our daily lives. Join us as we embark upon a study of these majestic truths in the book of Colossians. Teacher: Shelby Myers. Team Leaders: Kelsos, Ann Lindsey, Stephen Merwin, Millers, David Morgan, Neills, Miriam Rueger. SP & CP: Bryan Wintersteen.
