The Bible, Book by Book David Rountree • A101
! This is a fun and interactive Bible class that has as its intention to survey every book of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, to infinity and beyond! Join us at any point for essential doctrines necessary for spiritual growth and discipleship maturity. This class is currently studying Genesis through Judges along with foundational truths like the doctrine of God and Creation, the doctrine of God’s Silence and his Covenant, the doctrine of Humility and Instruction. Our senior pastor’s goal in teaching this class is to teach us the “whole counsel of God” by addressing the main subjects in every book of the Bible. It is a “walk-through” of the entire Bible in approximately three years. Come along for the joy of growing deeper and richer in Christ every week.
Predestination and the Freewill of Man Mark Burchette & Joe Noblitt • A211
A practical study of the “Ordo Salutis” (order of salvation in the decrees of God). Provided in this class will be a helpful understanding of the biblical view of God’s election of sinners without destroying the freewill of man.
Capstone (9th-12th)Kyle Locke, David Reiter & Joey Thames • B105
A combination of topical study and book-of-the-bible survey, our high school students will hear from a rotation of gifted speakers bringing a message of grace every Sunday with special emphasis on group discussion and panel forums.
Cornerstone (6th-8th)Dexter Williams, Mike Settle & Owen Hall • A214
God’s Word in Today’s World - Learning what the Bible is and how to study it.
Covenant Kids (K4-5th) Large Group • C108
To prepare children for the whole of the Christian life, its ups and downs, its challenges, its joys, as well as to teach them essential truths of the gospel and give them a deeper understanding of Christ’s work in the life of a believer. This quarter the Covenant Kids Discipleship Hour Classes will be using Great Commission Publications NEW Curriculum “Pilgrim’s Progress”. It will teach them the necessity of believing in Christ alone, studying God’s Word, depending on the Holy Spirit, and learning from other believers. It shows them that the Christian life is a pilgrim’s journey filled with joys, love, provision, distractions, difficulties, doubts, and so much more.The Covenant Kids will hear from many gifted teachers, as well as sing and sign praises to God. After assem-bly, the children will move to the following classrooms for lesson reinforcement activities and prayer:
K4/5 • Matthew & Elizabeth Pearson • C1161st • C113
2nd, 3rd & 4th • Ann-Janette Locke & Heather Bruynell• C1145th • Dale & Annette Hardy • C110
Her children rise up
and call her blessed.

Family & Friends Fellowship Feast & Deacon ElectionMay 4th ~ 12:00p
The new quarter for our Discipleship Classes starts on Sunday, May 4th. We will celebrate that day with a family and friends fellowship feast! To start with, you can feast on God’s Word by coming to a discipleship class starting at 11:10am. We have two great adult classes to choose from, as well as wonderful classes for the youth and children to attend.—see details on page 20.
The feast on God’s Word will be followed by a covered dish meal at 12:00pm. In order for this to truly be a feast, we are asking that each family bring enough food for themselves and another family. Please bring a main item, side item(s) and dessert. The drinks will be supplied by the church. An easy way to keep your meal warm during church and the discipleship hour is by bringing a crock pot meal (there are many plugs throughout the church).
We are looking forward to feasting and fellow-shipping for the start of the new quarter.
Time to update the Membership Directory! Some of the photos in our Membership Directory are very out of date (you know who you are)..... children have
