Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Tuesday Mornings, Every Week
In our study we will be exploring this well-known Christian book by C.S. Lewis. The book is based on a series of radio broadcasts Mr. Lewis gave to explain Christianity to the people of England. For those that want to understand why Christianity is true, this book is helpful. And in this same way, it gives Christians some ways to explain why someone would choose to believe what God says.

The Book of Daniel
Wednesday Evenings, During AWANA
The Book of Daniel, containing both history and prophecy, offers timeless truths about standing firm in the faith and trusting a sovereign God who is always in control. This verse-by-verse Bible study will dive into the life of Daniel and his friends—captives in a foreign land who refused to compromise their convictions. We’ll also explore Daniel’s profound visions of the future, discovering how they point us to Jesus, show God’s sovereignty over every empire, and give us hope for our own times.
Starts: September 9, 6:30-8:00 pm, Prayer Room
Book: Notes provided each week

From Creation to Reformation: History Comes Alive
Sunday Mornings during Sunday School, Every Week
Have you ever wondered how the Biblical account lines up with the secular account of history? Marcia Zuercher, world traveler and history teacher at Central Christian Academy, will use timelines, mnemonic devices, and slides from her personal travels to bring history alive. As the Gospel spreads into every land, we find that history is really “His Story.” Class time will open with fellowship and the reading of a Psalm. Bring your Bibles and your curiosity each week.
Starts: August 16, 9:00-10:15am, Room B-200
Childcare: Nursery & Sunday School Classes available
