Monday nights are “community ministry” nights.  These classes are distinctively Christian and presented on a cost-only basis (e.g. for workbooks, or cost of materials). They are open to all people of faith. Pre-registration is required due to limited space, and classes will be closed when they are filled.  If demand is sufficient, we will seek a different location if it does not increase the cost.

Fee:  $15 per couple (includes workbook) for the series

Join together in a study of Jesus prepared for you by Max Lucado.  This series is designed to help you know the heart of Jesus and experience His love in a very personal way. Lucado teaches that the way to get to know Jesus is to spend time with Him, so there are also guided meditations throughout the week following each week’s group presentation and discussion. Each week explores a different aspect of the person of Jesus: His care, His peace, His grace, His freedom, His joy, His love, His power, His forgiveness, His prayer, and His hope. We end this series the Monday before Memorial Day. 

Fee: $12 per person (includes workbook) for the series
