SUNDAY MORNING ADULT BIBLE STUDIES FOR APRIL-MAY 2008 

You can participate in a small group at 9:30 AM on the Main Campus, as well as in a home group during the evenings.  Most of our classes on Sunday mornings center around a certain age span, but you are encouraged to attend the group that best meets your needs and interests.

Generally, our Sunday morning Bible studies enjoy a time for visiting with each other, prayer, ministry and a Bible discussion led by a trained teacher.  In addition, each group provides special opportunities outside of class for getting to know new people.  Ask your class leaders for more details about these small group fellowships.

The following is a list of the classes we’ll be offering in April and May on the Main Campus.  If you need assistance in finding a group, call John Horn, Associate Pastor of Education (327-2811), or ask someone at the Welcome Center.

A common question of many Christians is, “How can I know when God is speaking to me?” In Priscilla Shirer's study, He Speaks to Me, she uses the account of God speaking to Samuel in 1 Samuel 3 to show God does speak to Christians and how we can discern His voice and position ourselves to respond. In this exciting adventure, participants will discover how God spoke to Samuel, Samuel’s response, and how He speaks to believers today; they will be encouraged to listen and respond to God’s voice; and by listening to God’s voice and obeying Him, women will experience spiritual growth, Christian discipline, and the desire to serve.
