Class Choices - Fall 2014 - Choose from the first Six!!!

1. Art and Soul - Facilitator – Cara Burtis

Materials - $10.00 
Resource book from Appleseed -  Jesus Calling by Sarah Young ($19.50) or Jesus Calling digital app $9.99

If your love for art and your desire to get creative time just does not work with your life,  this class is for you. Creativity interwoven with Worship is our goal!  I Iook forward to teaching a bit of Mix media, watercolors, painting & stamping.  Things to try just for the sake of enjoyment and learning... along with a focus brought by music and an inspirational phrase or passage from the Bible to help inspire us to use our Art as an act of Worship.  Bring your own project if you like, we have space  for any form of creativity! We will move through a new lesson every few weeks including one for Knitting & Crochet. Enjoying the book or app for Jesus Calling by Sarah Young at home will complement what we do in class.

2. Becoming Myself – Facilitator Team – Dorothy Sessa, Megan Burwash

Resource book from Appleseed - Becoming Myself - by Staci Eldridge - (Price? )
Daughter of the King, Bride of Christ, Friend of Jesus, women who long to be loved, chosen and become a priority to someone.  Jesus longs to be loved by you, chosen by you and be your priority.  Get to know the heart of God. Stumble into freedom and embrace the real you.  You will be more beautiful, compassionate, more accepting of human beings and become real good friends with you.  Gal 5:1 – It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

3. Beth Moore: Jesus the One and Only - Facilitator -  Janet Zacharias

Resource study guide from Appleseed -  Jesus the One and Only ($17.50)

Join us and Beth Moore in a full year study of the life of Jesus based on the book of Luke. You will be introduced to to an intimate Savior as you get a close-up and personal portrait of the life of Jesus the Messiah. You'll see Jesus come to a funeral and raise the dead, confront conniving religious leaders, teach on a hillside, and even walk on the waves. This in-depth Bible study will alternate between a video session class, with Beth Moore teaching, and a discussion class where we look together at our responses to the previous weeks teaching. The accompanying study guide is recommended but not required.

4. Discerning the Voice of God (by Priscilla Shirer) - Facilitator - Pam Wolfe
Resource study guide from Appleseed - ($12)
Having a hard time knowing what God is saying versus what others are saying? This DVD Bible study is designed to help women know the voice of God: His language, character, and tone of voice. By growing closer to God through His Word, women will be able to discern God's voice from the voice of strangers. Light homework required.

5. Ruth - The Romance of Redemption – Facilitator – Monica Beckett

Ruth is one of only two women who have a book in the Bible. God singles out this woman - that we might know her story and that we might know God through this Romance. Ruth has all of life's circumstances stacked against her: she is an outsider, a widow without children, destitute with no income. She appears like she has nothing to offer but God doesn't see it that way. In fact, he makes her an ancestor of Jesus. Let's find out why and find out what God is redeeming in us as we study together.

6. Steal Away - Time With The Father - Facilitator Team - Deborah Carnduff, Colleen Ledene

God yearns to have first priority with us and to have enough open space in our lives for Him to move and speak to us bringing about a new depth of relationship with Him.  This class will provide a setting for time alone with our loving Father.  There will be margin to pursue what God has placed on your heart.  Whether it be time to come before Him to pray – study –worship – meditate – listen – or just rest in His presence.  Each morning we will also connect with each other, pray and explore some new ways to connect with God.

7. The Journey - Facilitator Team – Cindy Martin, Roxanne Elenko
(class is currently full) (a 3-semester study)

Is there more to this Christian life than I am currently experiencing?  In our busy and intense lives when do we honestly and seriously reflect and talk with one another about our life with the Lord?  This class offers processes and relationships were we can explore with deep meaning and intention three questions:

·       Questions of intimacy with God.

·       Questions of our identity in God as His beloved children.

·       Questions of our kingdom purpose.

Gentleness

As we move through the Fruit of the Spirit for our annual theme, we have arrived at meekness/gentleness. Explore with us through connection, transformation and mobilization.
