Rooted in Faith: Wisdom for the Seasons of Life — Facilitated by Myrlene Mondesir — (Room 25)

This six-week class provides a space for the church to learn from those whose lives reflect long-term faithfulness. Through personal testimonies, participants will see how God works through ordinary lives, difficult seasons, and emotional struggles. The class emphasizes that spiritual maturity and emotional well-being develop over time, often through hardship rather than ease.

What If He Meant It? — Dennis Conner — (Room 16)

Are the teachings of Jesus, such as in the Sermon on the Mount, simply an idealistic, but impractical, standard to strive for? What if they have no currency (no real benefit) in our contemporary culture? Or, what if Jesus was really meant the things he said? If so, then why don’t we take him more seriously? In this study we will explore the hard teachings of Jesus—the ones we tend to rationalize away—and the power of authentic witness when we do take him seriously.

Parental Guidance Suggested — Facilitated by Matt Haynes — (The Gym)

We’ve all heard the old adage: “Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” It’s wisdom straight from the book of Proverbs. However, as we saw in our recent study through Proverbs, sayings such as this one are not hard and fast rules. They may be generally true but don’t promise a guaranteed outcome. And who’s to say that we’re even training up our children the right way?

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. This class will focus on some of the specific challenges of trying to raise up godly, resilient children who don’t fall apart when life gets hard. There won’t be any easy answers offered, but you’ll be blessed to hear the collected wisdom of fellow parents and some practical ways to help your kids develop emotional strength, character, and responsibility. Whether you’re just starting out on the parenting journey or your kids are almost grown, we’d love to have you join us for the conversation.
