Adult Class: "The DNA of Relationships"

"Life is relationships; the rest is just details." We are designed for relationships, yet they often bring us pain. In this paradigm-shifting book, Gary Smalley unravels the DNA of relationships: we are made for three great relationships--with God, others, and ourselves--and all relationships involve choice. Gary exposes a destructive relationship dance that characterizes nearly every relationship conflict, and he offers five new dance steps that will revolutionize relationships. The DNA of Relationships, the cornerstone book in Gary Smalley's relationship campaign, will revolutionize your marriage, family, friendships, and work relationships.

Youth Class: "The Bible: Book of Acts"

The Acts of the Apostles is the second part of Luke's history. It was written so we would have the true story of how the Christian church began and grew. The book especially tells about the work of two of the apostles -- Peter and Paul. Peter is the central person involved in the beginning of the church in Jerusalem and Paul is the important missionary who went out to nearby countries to tell others about Christ. The book teaches about the coming and work of the Holy Spirit.
