SUMMER ADULT ED CLASSES We have 4 class offerings this summer. Feel free to join any class any Sunday during the summer!

9am Classes Building Healthy Marriages A healthy marriage takes intentionality and investment of time. It also is much easier to navigate the traps of marriage when you are with others who are on the same journey. If you desire to move your marriage forward—or if you are single or are a dating couple and want to gain insight on what a healthy marriage looks like—this class might be

the one for you. Along with other like-minded people, join Scott and Stephanie Peterson in the Fireside Room this summer as we grow together in learning and applying what the Bible says about a God-honoring marriage. Build friendships, laugh, and receive practical tips each week as you invest in your marriage.

Seekers & Finders Do you believe in God, but are not sure about who Jesus is and what the Bible says? Are you a new believer who wants to find out what it means to know Christ? Would you like a refresher on the faith? Or are you ready to take your faith more seriously? If one of these fits you, we have a class that may meet your needs. Loren Johnson will facilitate this class in Room 202 and you will receive a free resource which will be of help for your summer spiritual journey.

10:30am Classes Notable and Notorious Biblical Characters From Joshua to Balaam, from Abraham to Saul, you’ll enjoy the lessons of the Bible as Joel and Donna Reiter take their engaging style of teaching down-stairs to the LifeAct2 Center. A lively time is sure to be had by all as you will be growing in your faith in this inter-generational setting.

David, A Man After God’s Own Heart From the book of 2 Samuel, Paul Sanders will continue to lead people in understanding key traits of David and seek to apply them in our lives. This class will be held in Room 201, so invite a friend and come and learn together.

Jesus had a very specific life Mis-sion. He said of Himself: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to

save the lost” (Luke 19:10)

We can join Him in His mission today as His ambassadors to this world. (See 2 Corinthians 5:20)
