DESCRIPTION:9 AM\, Classroom #3\nInstuctor: Anni Mingin\nWhether we find
  ourselves in a season of happiness and contentment or in a season of sa
 dness and discontent\, the Psalms\, when understood and used\, can be a 
 place of refuge\, a place of solace\, and a validation of life’s experie
 nces. In using the Psalms in our prayer life\, we can become more aware 
 of God’s presence in whatever season we find ourselves. Through this cou
 rse\, we will examine the historical context of how the Hebrew people un
 derstood their relationship with God and therefore\, how they used the P
 salms in their own lives as well as examine the relevancy for us today. 
 We will also be looking at selected Psalms using a variety of media.\n

  story as well as in our everyday lives. Come and join us as we journey

  ourselves in a season of happiness and contentment or in a season of sa
 dness and discontent\, the Psalms\, when understood and used\, can be a 
 place of refuge\, a place of solace\, and a validation of life’s experie
 nces. In using the Psalms in our prayer life\, we can become more aware 
 of God’s presence in whatever season we find ourselves. Through this cou
 rse\, we will examine the historical context of how the Hebrew people un
 derstood their relationship with God and therefore\, how they used the P
 salms in their own lives as well as examine the relevancy for us today. 
 We will also be looking at selected Psalms using a variety of media.\n

 centuries after Jesus?  Come to this two-session class on April 6 and Ap

 f the Church to the broader world\, the formation of the New Testament c
 anon and and development of the doctrines of the Trinity and the nature 
 of Christ.  In the process\, we will briefly meet a number of pivotal ea

  | Guest Speaker: Bruce Bugbee\nDo you ever think that you want to get i
 nvolved in the church but not sure exactly how you might fit in?  Did yo
 u know that God has given everyone some natural talents…but He has also 
 given Christian believers a spiritual gift? The Apostle Paul writes in I
  Corinthians 12:1 “Now\, concerning spiritual gifts\, I do not want you 
 to be unaware.”  Do you know what the spiritual gifts are and which ones
  you may have been given? God has a purpose for those who believe in Him
  and a plan for you as a part of  His church.  When we are aligned with 
 His divine purposes\, the body of Christ is healthy and vibrant…and we b
 ecome faithful\, fruitful and fulfilled in meaningful places of service.
  
On Sunday\, March 30th\, you will have an opportunity to hear and inte
 ract with Bruce Bugbee about these important questions.  He is a co-foun
 der of Network Ministries from Willow Creek Church in Chicago and has au
 thored books and seminar materials that have served over one million peo
 ple in twelve languages.
