Parents Connecting
Room 307 at 9:45 a.m.
What is your calling as a parent? Many parents get lost while folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.
This study will share fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel that shows us that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Led by John Untener & Christy Johnson.

Pastor Peter Larson will teach the class using a video series and other teaching materials. The cost is free.
Knowing Scripture
Room 313
Every Christian has the privilege and duty to study God’s Word diligently. Dr. R.C. Sproul’s book, Knowing Scripture, and its accompanying video series will guide our study. We’ll learn numerous helps for personal Bible study through basic, foundational principles of biblical interpretation. Dr. Sproul offers several pitfalls to avoid and clearly explains eleven basic steps of interpretation and simple how-to’s for using them. We must improve our interpretation skills because accompanying our privilege to study is our responsibility to interpret correctly. This is a basic introductory course in hermeneutics or the science of biblical interpretation for lay people, not seminarians! Led by Steve Newby.

Facilitated by Nina Dorsch, our primary text is Matthew’s gospel; The Sermon on the Mount by Sinclair Ferguson is optional.
The Marriage School
