BLOCK 2

October 26 - December 7 (6 Weeks) 



God Came to Us
- A Study in Luke Dennis Spender
We are told to come to Jesus, yet throughout the ages mankind has gone its own way. The tug of the world’s pleasures distracts our good intentions. Knowing we'd struggle, God initiated our reconciliation with Him by coming to US as a gentle Lamb in the person of Jesus Christ. And though slaughtered on a cross, He displayed His authority over all, securing our redemption! He STILL CONTINUES to pursue a deep and fruitful relationship with us that we'll discover, if we'll slow down long enough to turn and embrace Him. Let's follow Luke and his friends as they witness the life of this loving shepherd we call Immanuel -- God with usA perfect study leading up to Christmas!  
 
Love & Respect PART 2 Gary and Sue Cooper & Marriage Mentors
Discover the single greatest secret to a successful marriage. Researchers and counselors affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between a husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. Using material from Dr. Emerson Eggerich’s groundbreaking bestseller; Love and Respect, this class will bring together a dynamic blend of engaging interaction and actual video segments of the Eggeich’s Focus on the Family endorsed conferences to give you an “over the top,” biblically SOLID, marriage enrichment experience. This study will conclude the material offered during Block 1.
 
Intelligent Design (Evidence for Creation) Bruce Malone
The battle for Christian truth begins with God’s Word as the foundation for reality. Yet schools, museums, and the media deny everything God’s Word has to say about science, history, and reality. This class examines the evidence which is left out of public school curriculum. Science actually confirms the Biblical model of biology, recent creation, geology, and cosmology. Topics covered will range from discussions of “alien life” to dinosaurs, from deception in movies and textbooks to the scientific impossibility of evolution…how dating methods support recent creation evidence…advanced ancient civilizations to worldwide flood evidences. The reason biblical creation is opposed by the world is that it forms the foundation for all other Christian truths. Prepare yourself with answers so you can be part of rebuilding our culture's crumbling foundational trust in God’s Word. 
 
Hearts Set on Eternity - A Study in Ecclesiastes Patty Keppel
The Book of Ecclesiastes is often overlooked, yet these teachings from "a wise old man" are packed with powerful truths addressing some of the most important issues of life! This class will cover the meaninglessness of life apart from God, His timing and seasons, our destiny and His calling and so much more. Discover how you can stay focused on the things that have eternal value, avoid distractions and walk by faith and not by sight. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us that God has "set eternity in our hearts." If we are willing to give ourselves to God as holy sacrifices, His Spirit will accomplish God’s plan for us and we'll find ourselves in the center of His will for our lives.  FOR MEN AND
WOMEN

ALL BLOCKS 

Sanctuary Choir
Committed to a solid vision and unified purpose, the Sanctuary Choir assembles each week under the direction of Pastor Leon Beaudin and Music Assistant, Travis Fader, to lead the congregation in ministry to the Lord through praise and worship.  Weekly choral presentations and seasonal productions are designed to release God’s power into the lives of those who hear, compelling the hurting to draw near, the wayward to come home, the foundations of evil to crumble and the purposes of God to be established!  If you enjoy singing, we’d love to have you join us.

Christmas Concert - During Blocks 1 & 2 Choir will excitedly begin working on Christmas music for this year’s Christmas multiple night concert.  The choir will perform many new selections as well as some of their Christmas favorites from the past.  Tickets are free!  You may visit the website for concert dates and times.

Passion Play 2012 - During Blocks 3 & 4 the Choir will be working on the Easter Passion Play.  This production will have a choir and full drama cast offering several performances during the month of March.  You may visit the website for Passion Play dates and times.

Servant Leadership
Our desire is to offer relevant classes that will draw as many as possible into the Life Lessons structure so that entire families can grow and live effectively for Christ. This means increased need for nursery, children’s workers, ushers and greeters. Would you consider devoting one block to serve as an usher, greeter, children’s or nursery worker? By choosing to serve like this, Jesus said you are actually exercising leadership skills! Your willingness to serve the body helps to make it possible for a greater number of others in our church family to grow, as well.

Foundations 
Foundations class will be offered during each block for those who are new to faith in Christ. This class is dedicated to providing an immediate understanding of what it means to enter into relationship with Christ and the key foundational principles that will empower every new believer to begin taking the first steps toward a lifetime of spiritual health and growth.
