Living Life Backward by David Gibson
What if it is death that teaches us how to truly live? Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain―death―and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, Living Life Backward was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live “the good life.” Considering the reality of death helps us pay attention to our limitations as human beings and receive life as a wondrous gift from God―freeing us to live wisely, generously, and faithfully for God’s glory and the good of his world. This study is great for anyone, whether you are new to Bible study or seasoned, who wants to know more about God and what the Bible says. The weekly preparation will take around 30 minutes. The cost is approximately $14.99. Co-leaders: Mary Mueller, Sara Nash, Kelly Ziegelbein & Michelle Zlabek

Question: Have you ever spent an hour in uninterrupted prayer? It can be done, and this class will experience it along with some training and teaching ideas. Using tools like the Moms in Prayer Ministry Booklet, prayers in Scripture and verses about prayer, we will experience a prayer time together focusing on our husbands and families. Some weeks will have no homework and others will have an article or Scripture passage to focus on less than 20 minutes a week. No experience necessary, so all levels welcome. Cost: $6.49 at link below and bring your own Bible. Leaders: Mary Bartos, Robin Yew, Annette Jarman, Marlene Hutter

From Beginning to Forever by Elizabeth Woodson
Too often, we have just a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible. This leads us to see scripture through the lens of our individual stories, causing us to miss God’s bigger story – his redemption and restoration of the entire world. The truth we learn will reveal the significance of what God is doing in our world today and how we can be a part of it.  This study is great for anyone who wants to see how the 66 books of the Bible combine to form one unified narrative. This 8-session study gives you five days of digging deeper each week, requiring about 15-20 minutes a day. A few sessions will be spread over two weeks and videos will accompany our weekly discussions. The cost of the book is $21.99. Co-leaders: Molly Reynen, Elizabeth Witcik, Heidi Erickson, and Lisa Young

Colossians by The Good Book Company & Truthfilled by Ruth Chou Simons (Semester 1 ~ Zoom group)
Join us as we unpack the Bible book of Colossians by first digging into Colossians by The Good Book Company, and then experiencing the Truthfilled Bible study. The Colossians study by The Good Book Company will convince us of the true identity of Christ, that He alone is all we need to grow, and then, and only then, will we mature into confident Christians. Truthfilled will inspire us through Ruth Chou Simons’ signature artistry and practical encouragement based on Colossians, that in every changing season of life, we can rest in God’s character, rehearse our identity in Christ, respond in faith, and remember God’s provision for us. We are excited to see the rich results of studying Colossians in these two studies with very different approaches. These studies are great for anyone, whether you are new to Bible study or seasoned, who wants to know more about God and what the Bible says. The weekly preparation will take around 30-45 minutes. The cost is approximately $30 for both studies. Co-leaders: Michelle Elliott, Sarah Herath, Megan Simonson & Michelle Zlabek
