THE PATRIARCHS: ENCOUNTERING THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB "Come along for a study through Genesis -- the Book of Beginning. Discover God's pursuit of relationship with man, and marvel as His plan to bless all people unfolds. Explore with Beth Moore such concepts as blessing, covenant, and promise. See how they affect our lives as New Testament believers. Get to know the individuals and families God used to birth His redemptive plan. See a perfect and holy God endure in His relationship with man at his best -- and at his weakest and worst. Full of twists and turns, ruin and redemption, revelation and mystery, this indepth study of Genesis 12-50 will keep you captivated by the God who stars in it." February 18 Introductory Session February 25 Session 1 "Leave Your Country" March 3 Session 2 "The Approaching and Approachable God" March 10 Session 3 "Triumphs and Tests" March 17 Session 4 "Eyes on Isaac" March 24 Session 5 "The Heel Grabber" March 31 Session 6 "For the Love of Jacob" April 7 BREAK FOR HOLY WEEK April 14 BREAK FOR EASTER WEEK April 21 Session 7 "God of the House" April 28 Session 8 "Dreams and Disappointments" May 5 Session 9 "A Fragile Band of Brothers" May 12 Session 10 "Epic Endings to the Beginning" (IMPORTANT: In the event of inclement weather -- snow, ice, etc... -- that causes the school closings, there will be no Bible study for that Tuesday. The schedule will move forward a week and continue the following week.) **AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS BIBLE STUDY, OUR GROUP WILL BREAK FOR THE SUMMER AND PLAN TO RESUME AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER AFTER LABOR DAY WITH A NEW STUDY THAT WILL BE ANNOUNCED!

From David Grogan: "The Truth-Seekers class meets every Sunday morning in the Daily

Living Room. With sharing and discussion, the class is focused on an in-depth study of the

truths contained throughout God's Word. Emphasis is placed on teaching and learning for

spiritual growth and development and as preparation for weekly worship and praise

followed by daily living and Christian witnessing."

We are working on a new directory – if your personal information such as address, telephone number, e-mail, etc. has changed in the last year, please fill out the sheet on the table in the Worship center or the one in the Whitley Gathering Area with that information.
