New Sunday Morning Adult Classes begin March 6th

Which Way to God? led by Bryan Smith. Not long ago, American Christians had very little contact with people of other world religions. Today, we may work with, live near or even have family members who are members of another faith. This class will help us explore the basic beliefs of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam. As we learn what it means to be Christian in the context of these religions, we’ll become more grounded in our own faith and learn to appreciate the way other religions can speak to us. Materials cost $10 each.

God’s Welcome: a Look at Gospel Hospitality led by Cheri Pelic. Take a look at the hospitality God provides to each of us and see how it can transform our thinking about the welcome we provide in our congregation and in our everyday lives. Using the book, "God's Welcome: Hospitality for a Gospel-Hungry World, by Amy Oden, we'll explore Bible stories that highlight God's welcome and discuss how we can both experience and extend God's welcome in our lives.

The Holy Use of Money led by Steve Braun. Proverbs 30:15-16 states there are four things that are never satisfied. We might add a fifth – the family budget! Life is full of financial challenges that place tremendous stress on our paychecks and test our faith. As Christians, how do we practically handle money in a world where we “cannot serve God and riches?” This series will address that fundamental question and provide practical advice for improving your financial situation. You will be challenged and taught how to manage your household resources more effectively – understanding the spiritual nature of money, being a better steward of God’s possessions, setting goals and priorities, budgeting successfully, taming debt, saving and investing – all from a biblical perspective. This is not a dry “numbers” class for accountants, but rather a fun and easy-to-understand course on practical financial stewardship.
Steve Braun has been a Christian for 27 years, happily married to his wife Karen for 24 years, and is the proud father of their 6 children. He is founder and President of Liberty Financial Planning in Canton where he works as an independent financial adviser serving clients on a fee-only basis. He is also a writer, teacher, and conference speaker on various financial and family topics. Steve holds a BA and an MBA, with Honors, from the University of Michigan.

The letters of Paul led by Maribeth Petteys. This is an ongoing Bible Study that is currently exploring the Letters of Paul. Bring your Bible and let’s dig into the Word of God together.
