Luke in the Land by Kristi McLelland - (8 weeks)
Led by Patti Hall & Geri Harris
Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions in this Bible study workbook, challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
Homework: Between each class, there are four “Snapshots” of personal study available to complete in the Bible study book (about 30 min each). As with all studies you can put as little or as much time as you would like into it.

The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ: A Study of Philippians by Beth Moore - (8 weeks)
Led by Sherry McCarthy & Pat Good
The apostle Paul was an extraordinary individual by any measure. What kind of mindset makes a person like Paul: unstoppable in love, faith and good works even in a steady flow of frustration, conflict and opposition? What keeps a person from becoming cynical when people are notoriously exploiting the gospel and preaching Christ out of selfish ambition? Paul’s brief letter to the saints in Philippi may well capture the mindset that set him apart like no other piece of correspondence from his pen. The book of Philippians is exhortation driven by unabashed affection, inviting the reader to join in imitating his joyful, single-minded pursuit of Jesus. By the power of the same Holy Spirit who took the gospel to Europe by way of Philippi, discover what Paul magnificently called, The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ.
Homework: Additional study and questions are offered daily in the workbook between weekly classes.
Book: The Surpassing Value of Knowing Christ - $20

Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight by Jennifer Rothschild - (8 weeks)
Led by Becky Dunn and Lisa Bullock
Heaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next? In this 7-session video-based Bible study workbook, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of Heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what’s true about Heaven from what’s based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for His children, but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don't just wonder about Heaven—embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.
Homework: There are four days of personal study between each class.
Book: Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight - $21

Practicing the Way Discussion Group - (10 weeks)
Led by Edna Blake & Stacy Simpson
We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice. To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him. These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.
Coursework provided in class, but you may also opt to purchase the Practicing the Way book - $14
ISBN-13 : 978-0593193822
