Let's get started!
 
Love and Respect Building Blocks - Facilitated by Bob & Chris Armstrong
Are there differences between men and women in how they relate to each other? Do they respond and react in the same way to conflict, or could they view the same situation in separate ways? Are their emotional needs prioritized the same way? What guidance does scripture offer on these questions? Would your relationships improve with a better understanding of these issues? Come find out! One workbook per couple is required. Workbooks are $7.

Healing Miracles of Jesus & Disciples - Facilitated by Patricia McVay
Each Sunday we will take an in-depth look at one of the Gospel Healing Accounts. What does the Bible say in each account about...Who? What? Where? When? How can these accounts be applied in my life and in my church today? What DID JESUS do? Touch them? Say any healing words? PRAY with them? Bring your Bible, notebook, beverage and FRIENDS. Don’t miss our 1st Study “The Centurion’s Servant”. (Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10)

The sixth week will conclude with a teaching about how to honor the Sabbath. Bring your Bible.
