| Here's a course preview:
This 4 week study begins on November 1st. It is "a thoroughly engaging, often
humorous, and frequently incisive exploration of what the Bible has to offer everyday
people in today's complicated world. The set-up for the book is as enjoyable as it
is unique, allowing its reader an opportunity to have no-holds-barred conversation about
the meaning and significance of Scripture."
Sundays, November 1- February 7 – "Making Sense of
Scripture: Big Questions about the Book of Faith"
Study Books are available. A donation of $10.00
for the Study Book is not required.

questions a curious Christian would want to ask. You will find questions you always
wanted to ask someone, but didn't dare...and questions you would have wanted to ask, but
didn't know how. Anyone serious-or simply curious-about how the Bible can still be
Scripture for people today will benefit from this fun and insightful book.
No need to sign up or to attend every session - just show
up in the basement at 9:30 am.

Women's Book Group
All women are invited to be a part of a study of the book,
With Christ in the School of Prayer by Andrew Murray. From the book's preface:
"With Christ in the School of Prayer" is a practical guide to learning how to pray.
Murray uses Luke's account, in which the disciples ask Jesus, 'Lord, teach us to pray,' as his
foundation, and moves on to explore (in thirty-one lessons) everything Jesus teaches about
prayer, inviting the reader into a rich life of intimacy with God."
We will meet monthly beginning on Thursday, November 19, 2009
at 7 PM at Cyndi Skillings' home. Call Cyndi for more information 303-450-0967.
