Fall 2009 Adult Sunday School Electives
New Classes Start September 6
“Do you sometimes feel like a rubber band ready to snap? The goal of this class is to provide a safe environment for adult women of all stages of life to be refreshed, revived and even repaired a little. As Patsy Clairmont so appropriately states “Don’t allow life to push your buttons until you have an emotional meltdown. Instead, let God help you get untangled.”
“I Second that Emotion” by Patsy Clairmont will used as resource for this class, you may purchase the book but it is not required.
Please join your teachers Rachael Stevens and Jan Gorniewicz in Room 209 of the DVJ Building for this Ladies Sunday School Class.

WINNING LIFE'S BATTLES WITH "THE SWORD"
No matter where you are in your Christian walk knowing how to use the weapon God has given us is a must. The Sword is not just to look at, not just to wear, but is a mighty weapon in the hands of God’s chosen. Study the secrets of the Sword for all of life’s circumstances: Decisions, Discouragement, Grief, Direction, Finances, Sickness, Sin, and more.
Join Ron Eaton in the closed area of Fellowship Hall for this challenging and exciting class.
MAN IN THE MIRROR
Everywhere you go you see men who are frustrated from trying to win the rat race that nobody wins. Is there hope? Absolutely. Trade the rat race for the rewards of Godly manhood. The Man in the Mirror invites men to take a probing look at their identities, relationships, finances, time, temperament, and integrity, and then directs them to take the first steps toward lasting change. This class runs for 24 weeks (one week for each chapter). It is a video series, but a free copy of the book will be given to the first 12 attendees to use on their own.
Men, come join Johnny Stevens for this dynamic new study in room 212 of the DVJ Family Life Center.
CLASS 201: PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY-
WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD
This class is for all who are interested in learning and applying what it means to be a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ. Whether you have just completed class 101 or are simply joining in for step two along the discipleship Pathway, this class is intended to help you make the practical connection between “the rubber and the road.” Being called a “Christian” is of no benefit unless our knowledge and belief affects us where it really counts.
Come and join Frank and Francesca Eyetsemitan in room 210 of the DVJ Building as they walk with you through this stage of your discipleship journey.
CLASS 101: NEW BEGINNINGS - A FRESH START
This group meets to learn the basics of the Christian faith through the study of Scriptures and a workbook entitled “First Things First.” Through the reading of God’s Word and group discussion, the foundations of the faith are laid so that a strong and purposeful life in Christ may be developed.
Join your teachers Tony Tamba and Lloyd Laughter in room 202 of the DVJ Family Life Center as you begin your Christian walk.
COME NOW AND LET US REASON TOGETHER
People called by God urgently need to increase their study of God’s Word. Psalms 119:105 – "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." A study in God’s Word will give you a solid foundation pertaining to your faith and wisdom for every choice you must make in every day life.
Please join Pastor Mike Montag in the Science Lab of the DVJ Family Life Center for a fresh and relevant perspective from the Word.
MARRIAGE & FAMILY: BUILDING ON THE ROCK
