Wednesday Nights Together

The Gospel of Mark

 On Sunday mornings this fall, we will be diving into the Gospel of Mark and this WNT class will be focused on deeper application to the previous Sunday’s sermon as well as study of context. This class will be mainly discussion-based and if you miss a Sunday, don’t worry! You can still join us and be part of the conversation. Led by Stephanie Poblenz.

 

Crazy Love

Do you know that God is crazy about you? In Crazy Love, Francis Chan challenges us to pursue the relentless, all-powerful love of God. We will engage in honest self-examination, considering how to respond to that love with a selfless, Christlike life. Led by Nina Dorsch. Book Fee is $10.00.

The Prayer Course

 It doesn’t have to be. Do you feel like your prayer life is becoming stale? It can be revived. Are you plagued by questions about prayer? Let’s talk about those. The Prayer Course is a real and relevant look at prayer for everyone—from the committed follower of Jesus to the skeptic and the scared. The Prayer Course offers honest encouragement and real-life methods to refresh your spirit and help you practice life-giving and life-changing prayer.

Revolutionize your prayer life by learning: 

• How to start praying 

• How to keep prayer simple 

• How to ask God for things 

• How to cope with unanswered prayer 

• How to pray without words 

• How to hear God

You will be inspired by the power of prayer through the stories of Corrie Ten Boom, Joni Eareckson Tada, Saint Patrick, and many more. Led by Karen Kilpatrick. The book fee is $10.99.

The Marriage School (6:30-8:30 p.m.)

Why doesn’t marriage, our most intense lifelong relationship, come with a manual? We want our marriages to glorify God, but what does that look like? We know God calls us to love and respect our spouse, but we need practical steps to get there. The Marriage School offers The Third Option a 14-week relationship skills course that helps couples build stronger, healthier marriages. The course is designed for healthy couples who want to grow stronger, committed couples who suffer from conflict or miscommunication, and couples who are in crisis. The class includes discussion, teaching and testimony. Cost: $420 with partial and full scholarships available (free to LPC families). Led by Daniel and Rachel Sachs.
