Life Abundant. Finding Contentment in Singleness
April 10 – May 15 | Room A178 | Cost: Free
Navigating singleness in adulthood can seem less like a gift and more like a race to the finish line with marriage as the goal. Regardless of your circumstances — divorced, yet to meet someone, met all the wrong ones, widowed, or any other situation — being single was never intended to be a burden. With practical applications, steps, and scripture, join us for a time of fellowship and candid discussion as we dive into how to fully receive and be thankful for the gift of singleness, looking to Christ during this unique season of life, living abundantly and filled with contentment. Leading: Meghan Burton

Weekday LifeCourses
Bible Study Fellowship
Tuesdays | Ongoing | 7:00 pm | Room A272 | Cost: Free
In a world where many things claim to be truth — you can even “find your own truth” — Jesus stands alone. He boldly proclaims Himself to be the only true source of freedom, peace, truth, meaning, sustenance, security, and everlasting life with God. Which leaves us asking: Are Jesus’ claims true? Through John’s Gospel, we will discover the truth about Jesus. The beauty and spiritual depth of this book cannot be exhausted, because the character and person of Jesus exceeds our finest thoughts and most eloquent expressions. Come experience Jesus’ claims personally as we study John’s Gospel: The Truth. Teaching: Lea Sullivan
Ashamed
Fridays | April 12 – May 17 | 9:30 am | Room A172 | Cost: $21
When Isaiah stepped into the throne room of God, he was “undone” by his sinfulness in view of God’s holiness. When an angel touched his mouth with a coal and told him his sin was forgiven, Isaiah essentially said, “Here I am. Send me. I don’t care where. I’m yours! I’ll do whatever!” He moved from being undone by shame to a hopeful humility and an eagerness to serve the Lord. In this study, you’ll discover the deep, freeing truth that being undone is the right place to start. Move beyond your shame to the joy-inducing, peace-producing thrill that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We were made to live in the light — confessing and repenting and renouncing our shame — because Jesus experienced shame in our place. Teaching: Brooke Shealy
Precept Upon Precept
Fridays | January 12 – May 15 | 9:30 am | Room A285 | Cost: $20
