MONDAY EVENINGS 
Disciple 1 —This 34 week study gives the Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God.  DISCIPLE draws upon the work of scholars, the personal Bible reading and study of the participant, and dynamic group  discussion to aid understanding of the Bible.
Pastor Lynda will be leading this study in the Asbury Center.
Disciple 1 will begin at 7:00 PM on Monday, September 13th.
Cost is $40 for materials.
Crazy Love Study — It’s crazy, if you think about it.  The God of the universe — the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor — loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love.  And what is our typical   response?  We go to church, sing songs and try not to cuss.  Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not, we all know something is wrong.  Are you hungry for authentic faith that addresses the problems  of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions?  Come and lets find out together about God’s crazy love.
        Pastor Alexis will be leading this study at Francis Street. 
This book study will begin on Monday, September 27th at 6:00 PM.
                     Cost is $15 for materials.
