• Sept. 6 – Oct. 4   The Holy Spirit – God’s Presence and Power at Work in Us
  Explore the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit throughout Scripture, from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Together, we’ll discover how the Holy Spirit worked in the lives of God’s people, shaped the ministry of Paul and the early church, and continues to guide, strengthen, and transform our lives today.  Book:  $16
• Oct. 11 – Oct. 25   Prayer, the Heart of Faith
  Prayer is at the heart of the Christian life, yet many of us wonder how it works and why it matters. In this study, we’ll explore the purpose and power of prayer, discover the many forms of prayer found in Scripture, and learn how ongoing conversation with God deepens our faith, trust, and relationship with Him.  No book needed
• Nov. 1 – Nov. 8   A Study of the Wesley’s – John, Charles and Susanna
  Discover the remarkable stories of two of the Old Testament’s most influential figures as we see how God works through faith, failure, forgiveness, and perseverance to accomplish His purposes. Their journeys offer timeless encouragement and practical lessons for trusting God in every season of life.
• Nov. 15 – Dec. 20 (No Class on November 22)   Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story
  Using the book An Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story by Rachel Billups, this Advent study explores the lives of four often-overlooked groups in the Nativity story—Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. As we journey toward Christmas, we’ll discover the unique lessons each has to teach us about faith, hope, and faithfully following God’s plan.   Book:  $14
