Wednesday Night Together Pastor’s Adult Study

WHAT WE BELIEVE Do you really know the beliefs of Christianity?

WHO or What is God? Is God omnipotent (all powerful)?

Could God make a rock so big that He Himself couldn’t lift it?

What About Evil? If God is all powerful, all good , just why is there so much evil in the world?

Who Is Jesus? Is Jesus human or divine or both? How could he be both?

What Is the Bible? Are there errors in Scripture? How is the Bible God’s Word?

And Much More!

(Classes resume September 6th)

Lakeshore Outdoor Classroom An outdoor classroom is a space that brings experiential learning to life through six designated, educational stations, a defined entry point and a gathering space. One of Lakeshore’s core values is to teach and model creation care and the appreciation of it. The Outdoor Classroom will be an intentional place set apart for free play and discovery of nature. In a culture where children spend most of their time indoors, on screens and at structured activities, this area will allow campers a rare opportunity to guide their own time in nature. Research shows that outdoor classrooms are linked to positive learning, enhanced imaginative play, increased physical and mental well-being, and environmental stewardship. It has also been shown that free outdoor play helps children develop important interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, self-confidence and educational skills such as literacy, math and science. Lakeshore believes this addition to our programming will be an integral way for campers to experience life, love and the God of grace.

Music—$6,500
