Journey with Joy, Rm 204 (Chapel), 2nd Floor 
“Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?” by Philip Yancey. This study probes the very heartbeat of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God's mind or ours or both. Participant Guide is available in the classroom. The cost is $8.Contact Dolly Shubert  (dollyshubert@yahoo.com)

Hearts Transformed Class, Rm 203, 2nd Floor
This class studies the weekly worship sermon... “Discerning the Mind of Christ”
Matthew 5:13-20
Jesus calls us to be different from the world - to stand out. Whereas vs. 18 has been used in some circles as a claim of Jesus endorsing harm, what is really happening is that we are being shown how to discern the mindset of Christ, regardless of how we might be dismantling our own biases or acting at our own personal risk for the sake of Christ.
