Love Busters

This weekend our church will begin a brand new ministry, through the vision and leadership of our pastor, there will be several Bible studies offered starting this Sunday night.



This new ministry is called "Start to Finish", based on Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (start to finish)



There is a study for our Youth, taught by Matt Crider at the church, Gene Lawley will also teach a class about some of the gems of the Bible called "Stop and Smell the Roses" - I beleive it will meet in the home of Randy and Mary Terrell.



Steve McMullin is leading a class on worshipping, and I think all those who attend are asked to bring their guitar. That one sounds like fun! Pastor Paul is leading a group through a study called "Eastside on the Inside". I bet this would be a great one for new members.



Pastor Paul asked me to teach as well, so I am leading a class for married couples, called "Love Busters". Sounds odd for a class that would promote a good marriage, but I can assure you that the book we are using by the same title is a powerhouse.




The previous time I facilitated a similar study using this same book, the couples in the group, all, had high praises.


The study reveals 5 major habits that destroy love. We will study the habits and then find a way to insure that they don't destroy the love in our own marriages. The book is a good read for everyone, but I would highly encourage you to sign-up with your spouse.


The cost of the study is $15. That is actually $5 less than we are actually paying for each book. The best way to sign-up is to put your name on the tear-out section of the bulletin this Sunday and either put it in the offering or hand it to Pastor Paul or myself.


The "Start to Finish" studies are an excellent way to be in the Word in 2007 while we fellowship with the church. Keep in mind that no class will exceed six-weeks in length, so why not sign-up this Sunday?
