Book: The Book of Genesis (The Smart Guide to the Bible Series) by Joyce L. Gibson & Larry Richards Leader: Brenda Pinch Available at Amazon.com & Christianbook.com FAITH

ROOM: NORTH A Faith takes you by the hand and walks you from one level of spiritual maturity to another. But what is faith? Where does it come from and how does it work? What does it accomplish? Why does it please God? Like Abraham, the children of Israel, Peter, and us, it is faith that leads us to do the impossible. We can be numbered among those who live by faith! Book: Faith by Chuck Smith (Both Book and Study Guide will be used) Leader: Ava De La Rosa Available at Amazon.com & Christianbook.com HANDLE WITH PRAYER ROOM: PARENT’S ROOM “Prayer is essential to the life of every believer. It connects us with our heavenly Father and opens the door for Him to move in our lives, to impact our circumstances, and to help us make wise choices.” Prayer is something the disciples asked to be taught to do. Since it can be taught, it can be learned. We also know from the book of Revelation that God keeps all our prayers in golden bowls as incense, a beautiful fragrance ascending before Him that we will offer in worship in glory! This semester we can learn to pray and in so doing will connect with the Father afresh and will store up our treasures in heaven by expanding the boundaries of our offering of praise to the LORD!

WINNING HIM WITHOUT WORDS ROOM: 201 The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers." However, we also know that many of us arrive in a spiritually mismatched… ….union and a desire to honor God with our marriage. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and our Savior. Our husbands do not. In this breakout group, we will embark on a journey with our authors Dineen and Lynn. You will discover that no matter how you arrived in a spiritually mismatched union, God's plan for your marriage and your future are fantastic and may take turns you never imagined! The goals of the class are to bring help, encouragement and healing through our Lord, Jesus Christ! Expect to deepen your walk with Jesus and fellowship with others who are also spiritually mismatched. If you read the book faithfully, complete the study questions and of course, pray, I guarantee you will leave the class different than how you walked in. This class is not to "get your husband saved" but to draw you closer to the Lord and one day, as the Lord works, you might just "win him without words!" Book: Winning Him Without Words: 10 Keys to Thriving in Your Spiritually Mismatched Marriage by Lynn Donovan and Dineen Miller Leader: Allison Nightingale Available at Amazon.com & Christianbook.com INTERCESSORY PRAYER During the breakout classes a ministry of intercessory prayer will be offered.
