CHOSEN TO LEAD MEN’S DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS

Facilitator: Steve Altmeyer
Location: The Loft
This group targets men, and deals with the issues men face on a regular basis. This year, we have the unique opportunity of having Steve Altmeyer, founder of CTL, with us from Spokane each week doing the teaching live - meaning we won’t be watching him on DVD. Furthermore, we will be partnering with other churches in the area, hoping to see a strong group of men from north Whatcom County become serious about men’s discipleship. Those who took the CTL class last year, are encouraged to take it again, and for those of you who missed the opportunity last year, we encourage you to come be a part of this great opportunity for growth and discipleship with other men.

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY

Facilitator: Robyn Kornelis

This year, the Thursday Morning Women’s Bible Study has expanded to offer a Wednesday night option! For some women who either work or have other commitments on Thursdays and have been unavailable to attend, this is proving to be a great opportunity - now woman can choose to be involved in the same study on Wednesday nights. Beginning January 4, 2012, we will study "Life Principles from the Women of the Bible, Book One". God's women of yesterday speak boldly to God's women of today. Discover how important you are to God as you study the lives of Miriam, Hannah, and other spirited and resourceful women who were used mightily by God.
