Hurry Less, Worry Less at Christmastime: Having the Holiday Season You Long For by Judy Pace Christie ~ Conference Room (continues Jan. 10 and 17)

Martin Luther King Jr. for Armchair Theologians by Rufus Burrow Jr. ~ Conference Room
Written by experts but designed for the novice, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound moments and theologians in Christian history.
This … introduction to … Martin Luther King Jr., … explores Kings's life as well as his thinking and activism. Burrow addresses …how his studies, particularly his theological studies, influenced, shaped, and transformed the activist path he pursued during his public life. …This book, with dozens of illustrations by artist Ron Hill, is written for a broad audience. It explores King's legacy, …and will serve as an excellent introduction to King's life and thinking.

This program will be run like a book club. We will learn together and from each other. The book is $14. Let Heidi know of your interest so an order can be placed by Jan. 11th.

FaithLink Class Filling Station-basement level
“Gilligan’s Island and the Seven Deadly Sins” ~ yes it has clips.
Featuring "Gilligan's Island," this Bible study will help you recognize seven deadly sins faced in our everyday lives and teach you the practical applications of seven holy virtues with relevant scriptures. Do you know what the seven are? How might they be found in your life and how might you combat them? Perhaps Skipper and good old Gilligan can show us the way.
