Adult Classes & Groups
Turning Points in Christian History
Do you know how the Crusades got started?… and why there has been a thousand years of tension between Muslims and Christians? Do you know how and why the Church was reformed 500 years ago, and why some want to do it all again now? Do you know the event when American Christians first started taking the Holy Spirit seriously? These are a few of the stories that Joe Longenecker and Tony Blair… both of whom are history teachers… will tell in our next adult class, which is on “turning points” in Christian history. Come prepared not just for stories but also for lots of conversation about what those stories from the past mean to us in 2025.
DREAMS: Thoughts of the Heart - A Class Exploring How God Speaks Through Dreams - Starts Oct. 26
Five classes, Sundays from October 26 through November 23
From 11:15-12:15 in the Fellowship Hall
Dreams are an amazing part of the universal human experience, yet how often do we truly listen to what they are saying? So many of us dismiss our dreams, unaware of how profoundly and reliably they can speak to us – and how seriously God takes them. The Bible and the lives of Christians throughout the centuries are filled with fascinating stories showing that dreams are a perfectly normal, valid, and cherished way God communicates with us. It’s time to reclaim this beautiful, God-given gift!
Join Jo Ann Kunz for our upcoming adult class where we will explore:
- Biblical evidence and practical ways to embrace God’s gift of dreaming.
- The common purposes, dynamics, and language God uses in our dreams.
- Growth in understanding and interpreting the meaning of our dreams.
- How tending to our dreams prayerfully can become a life-giving spiritual discipline.
Please sign up at the welcome center or online so that we know how many handouts to make… and then, come discover how to listen, learn, and grow through this powerful form of divine communication!
Mental Health Support Group
The Mental Health Support Group will meet following the service on Sunday, October 26 in the upstairs Conference Room. The topic for this month’s group is understanding grief rituals and how they can be used as a powerful means to work through grief and experience healing after loss. Please join us if you would like support, or if you have a family member or a friend you are supporting.
