9:30 a.m. In God’s Time - The Bible and the Future: Enormous confusion exists today concerning the Bible’s teaching about the future and so-called “end-times.” This course will offer an alternative to sensationalist perspectives about the future, an alternative that is highly credible, thoughtful, readable and faithful to our Christian beliefs. In 10 video lectures, Duke Divinity School Professor Craig Hill will encourage us to both take seriously and to think sensibly about the hope of God’s ultimate victory.
This class will be led by Brian Oberholtzer and Jamie Ridge. They meet Sunday mornings at 9:30am in the Adult Ministry Center. It will begin on September 18th and all are welcome!

Monday Evenings, 7 p.m.
This curriculum takes us on a journey through Sinai and Israel, a region that is still largely desert but at times filled with lush, bountiful places. We will discover how Jesus called people to live in the Promised land. What can we learn during times of abundance and in times of desert. God led his people back to the desert often to relearn the lessons they had forgotten. John the Baptist and Jesus had powerful encounters in the desert. We will learn that the desert is where we are closest to God. It is where our relationship with God is at peace.
This class will begin Monday evening Sept. 19th at 7:00pm in the Adult Ministry Center. For more information, contact Ellen Faller at 610-363-7318. All are welcome!
