Psalm 23: The Shepherd With Me by Jennifer Rothschild (8 weeks)
Led by Becky Dunn & Lisa Bullock
Many women know Psalm 23 by heart but haven't experienced its power in their lives. This beloved psalm can breathe new life into women who are weary and unsure of their next steps. It's more than a psalm that comforts in death; it gives confidence in life. Explore the depths of God's compassionate care while debunking the self-reliance myth. Learn how your vulnerability is not a liability because you can trust the Shepherd's goodness throughout each season of life.

Chasing Vines: Finding Your Way to an Immensely Fruitful Life by Beth Moore (8 weeks)

As she traces the metaphor through Scripture, Beth takes you on a spiritual journey and uncovers how every part of our own lives―even the rockiest, most difficult soil―is used by God to make a difference for His Kingdom.

The Glory of Womanhood (9 weeks)
Led by Patti Hall & Geri Harris

Materials will be given in class.
Ezra & Nehemiah (9 weeks)
Led by Julie Cox & Carol Moore
When life is a shambles, we wonder what went wrong and long to see things put right. And often we long for the sense of God’s presence to return to our lives. The city of Jerusalem was a shambles―both its walls and its worship were crumbling. Ezra and Nehemiah longed to see their city restored with God’s presence, and each one pursued that goal in his own God-given way. Ezra the scholar restored Israel’s worship. Nehemiah the architect resurrected Jerusalem’s walls. Together, they helped God’s people rediscover God’s presence, and their stories will help you, too.

God's Purpose in Grandparenting (10 weeks)
Led by Heidi Walters & Sherri Ralfs
This is a class for anyone who wants to study God's purpose in grandparenting, which can often conflict with other cultural definitions that surround us. Resources will be used from the Legacy Coalition Intentional Grandparenting program. Each week will cover topics such as Your Role & Impact as a Grandparent, Grandparenting Challenges, Ideas for Connecting with Your Grandchildren, and the Church’s Role & Opportunities in ministry. We will watch a different video each week, followed by a discussion of application, and prayer for our various challenges.
No Homework.
