SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
There are no sign ups for this round of Sunday School
Classes, just show up!
Pure in Heart: This
class will work to help men wrestle through the reality of sexual sins while also
focusing on the promises of God. Understanding the power of the Holy Spirit and
the intercessory work of Jesus on our behalf will allow believers to encourage
one another as the body of Christ, seeking to be holy. This Sunday’s topic will
be: Drop Your Facade led by Matt McDermott. (Classroom 1)
Mama Bear Apologetics:
This class is for not only moms, but for all women. Join a group of ladies as
they seek to understand how to empower kids to challenge the cultural lies of
this world. God has given moms and women the responsibility to speak biblical
truths to their children so that they can be holy, just as He is holy. (Classroom
4)
God Given: God’s Plan for Gender and Sexuality: We
live in a world that is deeply confused about sexuality and gender. As
Christians, we have an opportunity to speak truth on these subjects that are
vitally important to our lives and identity. Over the next 8 weeks, we are
tackling these questions through "God Given: God's Plan for Gender &
Sexuality". Through this Sunday School class, we will look at the biblical
origins of gender & sexuality, as well as discuss their purposes as God
intended them. Finally, we will examine how the world has erred on these
subjects, and how Christians should respond. This class will be taught by
Pastor Stuart. (Sanctuary)

MEN’S GARAGE MINISTRY
Tonight! Thursday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m.
all men will be invited to meet at the garage of Dave Frankenberger (1930 Long
Run Road, Mill Hall). Men, grab a chair and come prepared to talk shop
and tackle life’s challenges, while building on the strengths of your brothers
in Christ.
ADVENTURES IN MOTHERHOOD
Adventures in Motherhood, AIM, is
a faith based ministry for moms of children ages 0-18 to come connect, grow,
and fellowship together. Motherhood is wonderful, but comes with unique
challenges and can be isolating at times. Christian moms are called to bear one
another’s burdens and consider who to stir one another up to love and good
works. This is what we hope to do through this ministry- to provide a community
to grow and be encouraged in our role as faithful Christian mothers. The
group will meet every other Thursday, alternating mornings (10:30a-12:00p) and
evenings (7:00-8:30p). Morning meetings will have childcare provided. If you
have any questions, please reach out to our AIM coordinators, Jillian Best, jbest@ibcweb.net, and Cheyenne Redcay, cskinner2015@gmail.com

which is held one Saturday morning a month, is a very special time of
encouragement. Please join us Saturday,
October 8 from 9:00 until 10:00. You
will hear a personal story of a life changed by faith in Jesus Chris, followed
by the opportunity to join a prayer with other ladies. Come and enjoy some coffee and a great time
of sharing!
PRAYER
GATHERING
Join us on Wednesday, October 19 at 6:30 p.m. for our next Prayer
Gathering. This prayer gathering will be every other

seek to faithfully follow Jesus together.
