Summer Discipleship @ Christ Church
Summer Book Study: Every Good Endeavor Begins Tuesday, June 9 • 6:30-7:30pm • Youth Room Are you looking for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your vocation? Have you ever wondered
how to view your work through the lens of your faith? Join us as we explore these and other issues through a
six-week study of Tim Keller’s book, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work, which
offers a biblical perspective on the connections between our work and our faith. The study will be co-
led by Chris & Cindi Haviland and Christina Carnes Ananias. Books are $10.
Women’s Wednesday Morning Bible Study
Begins Wednesday, June 3 • 9:30-11am • Coffee Zone Too often Bible study becomes a mere fact-finding exercise or a dull, spiritless routine. How can Bible
reading shape and transform you? How can you meet God face to face while pondering his message in the
Old and New testaments? Join the Women’s Wednesday Morning Bible Study as they begin their
summer study, God’s Word—Power to Shape Our Lives, that will help you experience the variety of ways the
Scripture can meet your desire for spiritual connection and growth. Childcare provided. Books are $9.
