LEARNING TO TRUST GOD: This study will be a focus on understanding the fear of God in the law of the Old Testament and the manifestations of grace in the New Testament.
ALPHA: More than two million people in all 50 states of the U.S. and 15 million in 169 countries have participated. The sessions are planned to provide food, laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile…questions like—Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Each session includes a video presentation by Alpha pioneer Nicky Gumbel of England. The course is non-denominational, supported by multiple denominations. For more information: www.alphausa.org. Contact the Church for additional local information. Registration is encouraged but not required. Topics include:
* Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant? * Who is Jesus?
* Why Did Jesus Die? * How Can I Be Sure of My Faith?
* Why and How Do I Pray? * Why and How Should I Read the Bible?
* How Does God Guide Us? * How Can I Resist Evil?
