FOR ALL ADULTS FOR MEN PERSPECTIVES at South Dayton Presbyterian Church MONDAYS, JANUARY 10 MAY 9, 6:30 9:15 PM Perspectives will help you develop a vision for the heart and purpose of God in the world. Discover how you can take part in what God is doing, whether in the urban and suburban streets of the U.S. or the rain forest, mountains and deserts of distant lands. Register online at class.perspectives.org UNDERSTANDING THE HOLY SPIRIT Class led by Pastor Dave Ringhiser TUESDAYS, FEBRUARY MARCH 21 :00 8:15 PM It s important to have an understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Let s discuss who He is the personality, deity and representation of the Spirit and consider His relationship to creation, revelation, inspiration, man in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ. Discover how the revolutionary power of the Holy Spirit can help you rise above discouragement and defeat and provide a life filled with God s supernatural power. SOUL CARE and Brittany Ganzsarto SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 9:00 AM 12:00 PM If we look at the spiritual life through as a marathon, many of us are nearing exhaustion dangerously low on reserves, running on fumes. If that resonates with you, or if you want to understand how to nurture and feed your soul, this workshop is for you. We ll explore practical ways to restore life and vitality to your soul through authentic connection with God as Father, Son and Spirit. THE JOURNEY OF LENT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 9:00 AM 12:00 PM Have you ever wondered what Lent is all about? Lent is a time of doing without; it s a time of self-denial and repentance, yet a time of drawing closer to Jesus. If you ve never experienced Lent as a time of intentional focus on Jesus, consider joining us for this workshop. We ll explain Lent as part of Church history, discuss how a Lenten journey can deepen our faith, and partner together to walk through this wilderness in community. SPIRITUAL PRACTICES COMMUNITY Pastor Paul Clark SATURDAYS, MARCH, APRIL 8, MAY 13, 9:00 :00 AM From its beginning, the Church has linked the desire for closeness with God to intentional practices, relationships and experiences that gave people space in their lives to keep company with Jesus. These are known as spiritual disciplines, and they re fueled by the desire to know and love God. If that kind of intentional community sounds inviting to you, join in as we meet three times over three months, focusing our intentions on three specific practices, while using a social media tool to share our experiences, learning and community. COMMON MAN: UNCOMMON LIFE Led by John Steiner MONDAYS, FEBRUARY 6-MARCH 13, :00 8:30 PM God created us to be courageous, honorable, and to fight with valor. This series uses the Navy SEAL Ethos as a road map to discuss timeless biblical principles that God calls all men to. Using former Navy SEAL interviews, SEALs in action footage and teaching by former Navy SEAL Jeff Bramstedt, the series calls all men to live a life engaged in the mission God has for every man. CONQUER SERIES Led by Leaders of Pillars Conquer Groups THURSDAYS, MAR. 23 APR. 2, :00 8:30 PM* OR SATURDAYS, MAR. APR. 29, 8:00 9:30 AM* This 5-week, DVD-based study deals with the subject of pornography and conquering temptation in a way that s highly engaging, informative and includes round table discussion. You ll gain insight from top Christian leaders who present scientific facts and biblical strategies that employ God s weapons against the battle that every man faces. Cost is $12, includes workbook. * Classes will not meet April 13 or April 15. THE STORY OF ROMANS Class led by Pastor Emeritus Pete Schwalm THURSDAYS, FEBRUARY 9 MARCH 23 :00 8:15 PM Paul s story is filled with sub-stories of his divine journey of Spirit-led influence on Rome and its large church. God s providential purpose included shaping the local Roman believers to establish a healthy church life and subsequently an international influence for world evangelization. The foundation of faith in this epistle is a prerequisite to long-term intentional Christ-following and preparation for 21 st century decision-making. USING THE SUMMER FOR SPIRITUAL RENEWAL SUNDAY, MAY 1, 6:00 8:00 PM How can we build rest and spiritual renewal into our summer? The beauty and rhythm of summer provide a natural opportunity to focus on restoring the soul and refreshing the heart. In this workshop we ll discuss tools, resources and experiences that can make our summer months a time to deepen our love for God and His wonderful creation. WHAT S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE? Led by Scott Foote TUESDAYS, JANUARY 3-MAY 16, 6:00-:30 AM Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace s lifechanging power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the Church, and asks, How can Christians contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear? You ll be challenged to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, What s so amazing about grace? 5

FOR WOMEN WHAT IS SPIRITUAL FORMATION? SPECIAL ONE-NIGHT BOOK CLUB EVENT Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 6:30-8:30 PM Before spring classes begin, we encourage every woman to join us for a one-night book club event! Grab a copy of the book in Common Ground in January and read it before February 9, when we ll share our discoveries together. This book offers a clear and concise plan to help women go deeper in their personal study of Scripture. It teaches you not merely a doctrine, concept or storyline, but a study method that will allow you to open up the Bible on your own. Learn to understand God and develop biblical competency beyond topical studies and a large-grouponly-approach. Be challenged to let Scripture reveal God to you in a more comprehensive and profound way. HAPPINESS Bible study by Randy Alcorn MONDAYS, FEBRUARY 2-APRIL 3, 9:30-:00 AM OR THURSDAYS, MARCH 2-APRIL 6, :00 8:30 PM Join best-selling author and noted theologian Randy Alcorn as he dispels the modern Christian misconceptions about happiness and provides indisputable biblical proof that God not only wants us to be happy, but commands and empowers us to be happy in Him! 1 PETER Bible study by Jen Wilkin TUESDAYS, FEBRUARY 28-APRIL 9:30-:00 AM OR :00-8:30 PM Peter, a man of faith and flaws and an eyewitness to the life of Christ, challenges us to look beyond our current circumstances to a future inheritance. In 1 Peter, he shares concerns about big picture issues for the early believers, reminding them of the living hope they have in Christ. Peter describes our true identity as believers and points us to humility and submission. Walk through 1 Peter with Jen Wilkin in this 9-week, in-depth Bible study. SEAMLESS Bible study by Angie Smith TUESDAYS, JUNE 6 JULY 6:30 8:00 AM OR 9:30 :00 AM OR 6:30 8:00 PM* OR WEDNESDAYS, JUNE JULY 26, 6:30 8:00 PM* Wednesday evening class is designed for mothers and their high school daughters to attend together. Whether you ve grown up hearing Bible stories or you re exploring Scripture for the first time, the full story of the Bible can be overwhelming, and at first glance, the 66 books may seem disconnected. Join us as we discover the one beautiful, seamless thread connecting the people, places and promises of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. * Study will not meet July or July 5. Fairhaven s Spiritual Formation ministry provides a foundation for faith that supports each of our three essentials: it makes the experience of worship, community and serving deeper, more impactful and more fulfilling. Our studies, classes and workshops exist to encourage the discipleship process that is central to the purpose of the Church (Matthew 28:19). The goal is to help the Christ-follower be graciously shaped by the Spirit through the study of Scripture, the practice of spiritual disciplines and the encouragement of the community of believers. Spiritual Formation studies, classes and workshops are offered seasonally, in a variety of formats and on different days to make it as easy as possible for you to find something that interests you and fits your schedule. Some studies are gender-based, while others are coed to encourage married couples to strengthen their relationship as they grow deeper in their faith. All studies and workshops require registration, which you can do online at fairhavenchurch.org MINISTRY LEADERS Paul Clark Senior Associate Pastor Kelly Carraher Director, Women s Ministries Chip Tudor Pastor, Men s Ministries and Adult Groups So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord who is the Spirit makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3: 6
