Fall Adult Bible Studies
We're gearing up for the fall and looking forward to the start of lots of new Bible studies! Here's what we have planned. Sign up on Check-In Online or in this Sunday's bulletin. Room locations will be determined based on sign-ups. Look for your class's room assignment on the bulletin calendar or posted on the church doors the day it begins.

Developing a Wholesome Heart
Many people suffer from one of two emotional extremes: some are out of control, their emotions keeping them on a constant roller coaster ride and in a constant state of turmoil. On the other extreme are people who try to deny their emotionality; they think the key to emotional happiness is to become non-emotional. Both extremes are faulty; balance is the key. This class presents a practical, biblical perspective on human emotionality. We'll discuss the seven primary, painful emotions (hurt, anger, fear, guilt, false guilt, condemnation and stress) and learn how to negotiate them. We'll also introduce ten positive emotions that will lead to emotional happiness and stability.

"The Good and Beautiful Life" by J. B. Smith
Ladies' Tuesday Morning Study
"I have never met a person whose goal was to ruin his or her life. We all want to be happy, and we want it all of the time." The problem is, we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. Eventually we find ourselves living a beautifully packaged life of self-destruction. Following the Sermon on the Mount, this study guides us to look behind these character flaws and to replace our false beliefs with Jesus' narratives about life in the kingdom of God.

Time:  9:30 - 11:00 AM (Room TBA)
