6:8 A Justice Journey
One look at the evening news reminds us that we live in a broken and a hurting world. Begin a journey that reveals God's plan for mercy and justice. In this class we will learn what the main differences are between mercy and justice, what it means to "love mercy", and how we can take first steps of actually living this thing out. You will also have a place to process where you are in the journey, wrestle with common stumbling blocks, and examine what God has to say to about all of this. Join us for this 6 week class starting September 9. WHEN: Wednesdays @ 6:45pm (begins Sept. 9) COST: $10.00

Living Lives of Mercy
Living Lives of Mercy: Caring for the Forgotten, Neglected, and the Outcast ONE DAY ONLY - April 26, 2009 @ 11:00am In His earthly ministry, Christ demonstrated tremendous compassion for the outcast and the hurting. In our day, the economic downturn has increased the pressure on the most vulnerable in our society. How do we respond to the many needs around us? Scripture calls us to "love mercy" but what does this look like? This class will examine issues related to living lives of mercy as frontline workers share their experiences working with vulnerable segments of society.

Who Is Jesus?
You've probably noticed that we talk a lot around here about "growing in Christlikeness" which means learning to think, feel, live and love just like Jesus. Well, how's a person supposed to do that? One way is to go back to the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus and take a look at his teaching, miracles, death and resurrection. The more you discover about Him the more you uncover about yourself! Hopefully, after immersing yourself in the life of Jesus this semester, you won't be the same ever again! Join us for an up-close and personal walk with Jesus. The class format includes homework, discussion, and teaching. Exactly who is Jesus and what can He do for you? Come and see!
