Growing
"U" GROWING "U" is just what it says, an opportunity for you to grow in your Christian faith and help others to grow as well. Three seasonal Tri-mesters, each lasting between 8-10 weeks, will offer a variety of topical classes at various homes scattered across our community on different nights of the week. Three

We believe the short-term commitment required by a 10 week study will serve our people well - to participate, teach or host! Every 10 weeks, groups are disbanded and the "deck is reshuffled" to begin new groups! This gives you the opportunity to meet more people, take different classes or take a needed season "off" if your schedule doesn't permit. You can participate one semester, two or all three. If you're really hungry to grow you can take many classes in each semester! Here are your opportunities to grow this Fall!

That
The World May Know – Faith Lessons on the Promised Land
- DVD Bible Study. Sundays, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Each lesson
begins by taking you on a 22 minute video tour of selected Holy Land
sites. Afterwards, our discussion based Bible Study will focus on passages
of Scripture that tie into those video clips. Filmed on location in
Israel, FAITH LESSONS is an in-depth video tour of the buried, distant,
or otherwise forgotten places where the stories of the Bible actually
happened. From this cultural perspective, teacher and historian Ray
Vander Laan challenges long-held Western assumptions about even the
most well-known Scripture passages. The result? Those attending will
simply never read the Bible the same again. Join Keith and Kim Bianchini
in the school cafetorium beginning Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 6:00
PM. The class runs 10 weeks and will conclude Sunday, November 9, 2008.
Handouts will be provided. Location: Cafetorium. CHILDCARE PROVIDED:
