MOMS: Making Our Mothering Significant
Joshua — Every Good Promise Fulfilled
by Jen Wilkin

In our study of Joshua, we will learn how to seek the Lord, be strong and courageous, and rely on our mighty God for victory in the spiritual battles we face. As we see God’s continuing faithfulness to the people of Israel as they enter the Promised Land to receive their inheritance, our trust in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus, will grow. There will be many lessons that we can teach our children, too. Class time will include discussion, a video, prayer, fellowship, and connection with a Mentor Mom in the Titus 2 model.Cost including study book: $23

Women of Purpose:
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
by Joanna Weaver
Teachers: Bonnie WIlliams & Angie Hyman | Room 227, in-personThe life of a woman today isn’t really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s feet, but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t let you. Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life, and He extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly, He invites you to choose “the better part” — a joyful life of intimacy with him that naturally flows into service for Him.
Cost including study book: $10
Or purchase your own materials HERE.
Ezekiel
by Amir Tsarfati
Teacher: MaryBeth Hohman | Zoom OnlyRegardless of your present circumstances or what’s happening today, Ezekiel extends the peace of knowing that in all situations, God is truly Lord over all. Exploring Ezekiel invites and equips you to be a proclaimer of God’s saving power and a watchman for the world to come.
