Praying the Scriptures for Your
Children and Praying the Scriptures
for Your Adult Children, by
Jodie Berndt
Co-Leaders: Neeley Caldwell and Robin Ennis
September 10 – November 26, continuing in the Spring
The Retreat | 6:00 p.m.

There is no need we will face in parenting – or that our kids will confront in their lives - that God has not already thought of and provided for in his Word. And there can be no greater privilege than partnering with Him through our prayers to accomplish His best purposes in the lives of the people we love. Praying the Scriptures for Your Children teaches you how and what to pray for your child(ren) regarding their faith, character, safety, relationships, future, and more. In Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children, the author shares prayers designed with your adult children in mind, whether they're just leaving the nest, flying well on their own, or struggling to take off at all. Join us as mothers or grandmothers to pray for your children or grandchildren whether young or old. Purchase appropriate book online.

Biblical Citizenship
in Modern America
Led by Gayron and Rosemary Davis
August 16 – November 15 | 6:30 pm| Room 202

In this study you will be challenged to do your part in preserving and passing the torch of freedom by living out your liberty as the founding fathers envisioned. $20 workbooks available in class.

Christ’s Teachings On Prayer
Led by Dr. Paul Spargo
August 16 – November 8 | 6:30pm | Room 205

In this study we will examine Christ’s teachings on prayer so we’ll not only be encouraged to pray more, but we’ll be instructed to pray more correctly. Bible only. Study guides will be provided in class.

Explore the World Christian Lifestyle
​
