YOUNGER MARRIED COUPLES
(Fellowship Hall Room 3)
Beginning April 6 the Younger Married Couples Class (YMMC) is hosting for any and all interested MPC adults an eight-week series led by Ellen Vaughn on the topic of her 2007 book: Time Peace: Living Here and Now With a Timeless God. Ellen asks, “when you think of time, do you feel guilty, stressed, behind and behinder?… then [this class] just might set you free.  It’s not about mastering time-management techniques.  It’s about knowing the Master, and seeing Him in magnificent ways you never have before.”  Chuck Colson says of Time Peace, “This is one of the most significant and thought-provoking Christian books I have read. . . . [it]  has had a powerful spiritual impact on me . . . Ellen has written some fine things over the years. This is far and away her best work.”  Come join us! For further information contact: Andrew and Rachel Wimer, Doug and Rachel Kelly, John Fix, Blake and Rebecca Edwards, or John and Laura Boland.

THE CROSS COURSE - PART 3
(Fellowship Hall Room 8)
The Cross Course is an interactive spiritual renewal course designed to increasingly incorporate the dynamics of spiritual renewal into one’s walk with Christ. This course is actually a blending of courses with which you might be familiar - “Sonship” and “Gospel Transformation” by World Harvest Mission and excerpts from Redeemer Presbyterian’s Galatians course and other writings by Tim Keller. The course is entitled “The Cross Course” because it will regularly point to the cross of Jesus Christ as central to our growth in grace and spiritual renewal. For further information, please contact course leader Horace Lamb (horacelamb@gmail.com).  Open only to those who participated in Parts 1 and 2.

Beginning at 11am (April 6 - June 29)

HOW NOW SHALL WE LIVE? SANCTIFICATION AND THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
(Fellowship Hall Room 3)
One of the tragic realities of life is the fracturing that occurs as a result of sin.  Sin de-humanizes, disrupting every “nook and cranny” of life.  Sanctification re-humanizes, bringing our whole being into alignment with the Lord.  As the triune God is renewing the entire cosmos to reflect His glory, so He is re-fashioning His people in the image of Christ.  Join us as we explore the Bible’s teaching on topics including, but not limited to: personal renewal as part of kingdom expansion, the role of the Gospel in sanctification, the sinfulness of sin, the means of grace (Scripture and sacraments, prayer and repentance), the importance of community in personal renewal, the implications of being declared righteous and being made righteous, putting sin to death, and being sanctified in view of our heavenly calling. Taught by: Geoff Sackett, Louis Tucker, and Chris Wood.

THE PATH TO GROWTH: THE MARKS OF A MATURE CHRISTIAN: A Practical Verse-by-Verse Study of the Epistle of James
(Fellowship Hall Room 1)
Would you like to be more patient under trials, practice the truth in every situation, have control over your tongue, be a peacemaker-not a troublemaker, and be prayerful whatever your troubles? “Who wouldn’t!?,” you say. Well, those are just some of the essentials our brother James covers in his letter that has been described as “the book of Proverbs in the New Testament.” Here is practical Christian living at its most basic level. Join us on the path to growth and learn how you can experience the marks of a mature Christian. Taught by: Butch Hardman, Brad Feldmann, Chris Wood, Greg Sherrill, Steve Brown, Russ Vane and Jim Richardson.

Berean Servants

Berean Servants is an enthusiastic, interactive community composed of singles and couples of all ages, and a dynamic cross-section of the Church. We are made up of people who take seriously the study of God’s Word, who desire to be equipped for service, and who view themselves as servants of the Lord Jesus Christ who reach out to others both in and outside our congregation.
