This fall and winter, we have a number of opportunities for you to connect in adult learning community on both Sundays and Wednesdays. For additional information, please contact our Director of Discipleship Michael Andres.

One of the best stories for seeing Christmas in a new way and helping us welcome those who haven’t experienced the wonder of Jesus’ birth is Barbara Robinson’s The Best Worst Christmas Pageant Ever. Join Rev. Dr. Derrek Belase in his first Acts 2 study this Christmas season.
Finding Rest: The Sabbath Practice
Led by: Rev. Brandon Blacksten & Chantelle Foster
When: Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Building C, Classroom 8
Length: 4 Weeks (Nov 13–Dec 4)
Sabbath is a 24-hour time period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. It is the best day of the week. In our era of chronic exhaustion, emotional unhealth, and spiritual stagnation, few things are more necessary than recovering this ancient practice.

Where: Building A, Classroom 1
Length: 5 Weeks (Nov 17–Dec 15)
Holidays can be a difficult time as we grieve. Believe it or not, even in your time of sorrow, there are things you can do to help turn Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s into opportunities for meaningful healing and remembrance.
Grace Filled Marriage
Led by: Rev. Dr. Robert Gorrell
When: Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m
Where: North Portable
Length: 6 Weeks (Nov 6–Dec 15)
Love is what gets us married, but grace is what can keep us married. Grace-Filled Marriage explores the daily reality of a life lived with a commitment to treating our spouse the way God treats us — with grace.
The Original Christmas Story
Led by: Rev. Dr. Robert Gorrell
When: Sundays at 10:45 a.m.
Where: Southwest Portable
Length: 3 Weeks (Dec 8–22)
When we think of Christmas, we think about angels, shepherds, and a baby born in Bethlehem. All those images come from the Gospel of Luke. Luke reveals the world Jesus was born into and the real meaning of Christmas. This study will coincide with our Advent sermon series.
