ADULT SUNDAY BIBLE CLASSES THIS SUMMER - Two new Adult Bible Classes begin today!

• The Men will be experiencing “Fight” as their Adult Bible Class theme. The series is designed to help the men of our congregation uncover who they really are – powerful men with warriors’ hearts. We will, by the power of God, find strength to fight the battles we need

www.risensavior.net Page 2

to win; the ones which determine the state of our hearts. The desire is to bring quality to marriage and the spiritual health of those we love most, including ourselves. The author of the DVD based series is Craig Groeschel, founding pastor of LifeChurch.tv. Pastor Harmon will lead this class in the Multipurpose Room.

• The women’s class will be studying “The Armor of God”

by Pricilla Schirer. All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt

throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that

matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your

dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of

being pushed around and caught with your guard

down, this study is for you. You do not need to have a book to participate in this Bible Study!! Join Doreen

Scheuerman in the Choir Room.

ADULT BIBLE STUDY

While the kids are busy with activities just for them, an Adult Bible Study led by Pastor Harmon based on the Dream-

Works Movie "The Croods." The Croods is about a family's adventure as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is de-stroyed. They discover a world which changes their outlook forever. Come see how this applies to our life as Christians

too!

At Cave Quest Family VBS, kids and adults explore what it means to follow Jesus through dark times.

Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activi-ties, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building

games, make and dig into yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures and will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through some-

thing called God Sightings!
