EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

Sunday School for all ages

SUNDAY MORNING ADULT CLASS :

Beginning January 10th those reading through the Bible in 90 Days will gather for a small group discussion during the Sunday education hour (see below). Starting February 7th in the Ministry Center classroom. Join Lisa Batzle as we focus on the Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple - first a tent and then a monumental building built literally as God's "house". We'll study the history and symbolism of them, as well as look at how Jesus related to the Temple and the significance of his "cleansing" of it. Come join us to learn something new! Beginning Sunday February 21st a Centering Prayer Group will meet during the Christian Education hour. The group will be led by Don Krill, a retired D.U. professor. Centering Prayer is similar to meditation, but has a Christian focus and intent. This series of five meetings will be using Keating’s book Open Heart, Open Mind. Contemplative prayer emphasizes quieting the mind, practice of presence of God, and reducing mental fluttering. It is considered to be one of the workings of the Holy Spirit. Come join us!

 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE

The Bible in 90 Days
Starting January 13, Calvary will join three other Golden churches in reading the Bible in 90 days. Small groups will meet during Wednesday Night Live as well as Sunday mornings during the Christian Ed hour. Ask Bethany, Cathy or Tim if you have any questions. The minimum cost is $6 for a participant’s guide, but if you’d like you can purchase a Bible in 90 Days Thinline Bible that tells you when to start and stop each day, for $10. Otherwise you can use a Bible that you already have, any translation.

The Men’s Life Group will be joining the Bible in 90 days this spring.

The Women’s Life Group will be joining the Bible in 90 days this spring.
