Classes & Studies

Thursdays thru Nov 20
GriefShare
7-8:30pm • Wesley Rm
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
— GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place to help you move through the grief process. It's a place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week session, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with it, in all its unpredictability — and gain solid support each step of the way. Each meeting stands alone, so you can join anytime. Questions? Contact
Marilyn Cobb.

Thursdays (Oct 30-Dec 11)
Women at the Well Bible Study:
What Happens Next
10am-12pm • Activities Ctr, M101
The world feels fragile. Every day we hear of wars, famines, natural disasters, and strife. Jesus told us that "all these are the beginning of birth pains" (Matthew 24:8) as we move toward the end times. But at the core of the gospel is the promise that for followers of Christ, the best is yet to come. In this Bible study, Max Lucado provides a wise and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety.
