Theology Basics Class - February 4th
When you consider theology, you may think of confusing, lofty terminology that only concerns scholars and pastors. But in reality, theology is for anyone who wants to better understand God and learn more about the Bible. Theology―the study of God and his word―should be personal, accessible, and worshipful. Join us as we use the book, Knowing God's Truth by Jon Nielson, to study the doctrines of scripture, God, man, etc. This 12-week class will meet on Sundays at 10:30am in Room 210 beginning on February 4th and conclude on April 28th. (Will not meet on Easter Sunday.) Sign up here.

Join us as we share a meal and pray together on Sunday, February 4th, at 5:00pm in the lower level. Please bring a side or accompaniment for the meal and to Matt.
Trusting God Book Club - February 7th
During a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and in Trusting God he shares the fruit of that study. As you explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and even the details of your life, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely - even when life hurts.
Join us for a book study on Jerry Bridges’ timeless book, Trusting God. We will meet on Wednesday mornings in the lower level from 7:00am-7:50am beginning on February 7th. Jen Jablonski will facilitate the conversation. Please obtain a copy of the book and read the preface and Chapter 1 in preparation. Text Jen with questions at 216-406-0567. Please RSVP here.
