Leading a Joy-Filled Life
Participants will be guided through eight sessions of study that explore what the Bible has to say about expressing gratitude to God in all situations, finding joy even in the mundane aspects of life, and adopting a mindset focused on the eternal blessings that God has promised for those who serve Him. They will discover, as Paul wrote, how to "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12).Each eight-session study includes readings from Jesus Always, selected Scripture and study questions, and daily reflection questions. This will be led by Georganne Copas and the book can be purchased in class for $7.
Walking by Faith...Lessons I Learned in the Dark
This 7-week study led by Cathy Haas contrasts the evidences of walking by faith and walking by sight and encourages participants to take risks, give God control, persevere through hardship, receive God's gifts, be guided by the truth rather than feelings, and seek God. The book can be purchased at amazon.com for about $10.95.
Starts Wednesday, March 21, 6:30 - 8:00 pm - Great Room
