Class Choices - Spring Semester 2015!

Essentials of Parenting: The Power of Love
Facilitator Janet Zacharias
We all would like to have a better relationship with our children!  We have chosen this study to gain insights on this important goal.  In this video series Essentials of Parenting: The Power of Love, authorities like Gary Thomas, Dr. Bob Barnes, Julie Ann Barnhill, and Carey Casey show how to enrich and enjoy the bond between your child and yourself.  We will also be memorizing some Scripture together and praying together at the end of each session.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

Art & Soul: The Guild
Facilitator Cara Burtis assisted by Monica Beckett
This is a group led initiative of open studio time.  Our purpose is to create worship to our Holy God as a group by creating art.  Painting supplies, stencils and stamps will be provided.  We’re keeping our cost low this semester so that each guild member can be free to spend the extra on a mixed media or watercolor or acrylic type art journal or supplies that fit their artwork best.  We are recommending an art journal so there is a place to creatively return as we each work through your art with the focus of worshiping the Lord.  We will ALL shoulder the prep, clean up and spiritual depth together as a group with each member taking responsibility in 2 or more areas.  Come and worship the Lord with us.
Material Costs: $10.00 (covers all your supplies)

Interior Design and Pondering God’s Design for Our Lives
Facilitator Jennifer Flanders
A crash course in Interior Design with no experience necessary!  In five weeks we will look at some design basics and you will learn lots of practical decorating skills while creating a plan for a room in your own home.  Each week we will also discuss a related theme about God’s design for our lives.

The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands by Lysa TerKeurst
Facilitator Melanna Heebner
Are you living with the stress of an overwhelmed schedule and aching with the sadness of an underwhelmed soul?  Lysa TerKeurst is learning that there is a big difference between saying yes to everyone and yes to God.  We will look at how to cure the “disease to please” with a biblical understanding of the command to love.  We will look at how to escape the guilt of disappointing others by learning the secret of the “small no”.  We will explore how to overcome the agony of hard choices by embracing a wisdom based decision-making process.  Finally we will look at the question of can we rise above the rush of endless demands and discover your best yes today.

Steal Away - Time With The Father
Facilitator Deborah Carnduff
“Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord” Lam.2:19
So I wonder???  Do you want a sweeter, more intimate connection with God?  Do you want a faith in Jesus that is ready to stand strong and resilient no matter what crisis comes your way?
Here is one thing I know through experience---it is NOT THE CRISIS that builds spiritual muscle to overcome and thrive…the crisis just reveals what I am already made of.  I need to be spiritually fit…ready BEFORE the faith check or battle comes.
So how do I do that?  I have to carve time out to be in communion with God.  Simple and sure.
Our class provides a concrete time alone with our loving Father every week.  In the first half hour of our time together…We will be guided towards a portion of God’s Word to explore, examine and meditate on together.  We then will use this passage as connecting/communion point with God – 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 and pray.

Journey - **CLASS PRESENTLY AT CAPACITY**
Study by Vantage Point3
Facilitators Cindy Martin & Roxanne Elenko
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 where we can explore with deep meaning and intention three questions - Questions of intimacy with God, of our identity in God as His beloved children, and of our kingdom purpose.
