Story Telling 101 - Wednesdays, 6:30pm, room 209, September 21 - October 19.
Are you tired of living in the tension of knowing you are supposed to be sharing your faith, but feeling totally unqualified or just simply terrified to do so? Are you looking for practical instruction and tools to help you grow the confidence you need to take a huge step forward in this area of your faith? Then join the Story Telling 101 class. We’ll draw directly from the Bible to not only develop real life methods to share our faith, but also sharpen our ability to tell our own stories, all while blending our story with others’ along the way. Sign up through the church office at office@rrumc.org or 440.331.7676. Contact Pastor Paul Bennett with questions at pbennett@rrumc.org.
LIFT (Ladies in Faith Together) - Tuesdays, 6:30pm, room 209, begins September 20.
Book is “Trustworthy” by Lysa Terkeurst. In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, join Lysa Terkeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God. When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we're more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It's then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. Contact Lynn Gorton at ekgluvsgod@gmail.com to sign up and get information on obtaining the book.
Wednesday Morning Women’s Bible Study - Wednesdays, 9:30am, Chapel, September 21 - November 2.
Book is “Discerning the Voice of God” by Priscilla Shirer. God has invited us to know Him better. As our relationship with Him grows, we become more acquainted with His voice. Yet, we struggle: How do I hear God’s voice? How do I know it’s the Lord and not me? In this study, explore a more intimate relationship with our God, one that will help us listen with greater confidence, clarity, and discernment. Contact Barbara Napier at 216.299.5174 or napierbk@gmail.com to sign up and get information on obtaining the recommended but not required workbook (2017 version).
