Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent
This is a Bible study of Psalms 120-134 taught by Beth Moore. Traveling pilgrims sang these psalms both on the way to the great festivals of the Lord and as key elements of the worship at those festivals. Just as a song or poem can express feelings of fear, doubt, hope, and joy, these 15 psalms model how we can voice our own petitions and praises to our God, who is always available and ready to hear us.
Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through this seven-session study. Themes of unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers in Jesus Christ can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God.

Living the Abundant Life by Growing in Christian Virtue
A truly transformed Christian life is a virtuous life that reflects God through Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Transformation comes as a result of acquiring holy habits—another name for virtues. However, the virtuous life is not just doing good things. The virtuous life is a deeper life—a life lived for God, in union with Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Not long ago, virtue and virtuous lives were raised up as models for all family life, friendship, marriage, businesses, citizenship and statesmanship. Virtue was the foundation of good law-making. Tragically, virtue has been down-played, forgotten, even ridiculed throughout our society. What a tragedy! Dr. Colleen Campbell, author of The New Faith and former speech writer for President George W Bush, said, “All virtues lead to God and are part of His perfect goodness and love.” Come, prepare yourselves for the only life that will satisfy, keep you safe, and fill you with joy—a life of virtue—the Christ-life!
Acquiring virtue is a process. Participants are asked to make a nine-month commitment to the study and practice of virtues.

Moms ’n More
Posted August 1, 2010
Formerly known as Moms ‘n Mosa!cs, Moms ‘n More is an exciting ministry for all women. Moving beyond our foundation of focusing on moms, we have expanded this wonderful ministry to include all women who are eager to develop authentic relationships and be inspired by outstanding teaching. Moms ‘n More is an exciting place to join other women for a time of fellowship, worship, Bible-based teaching, and heart-to-heart small group discussion.
Moms ‘n More meets at 9:15-11:15 a.m. on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from September through May. Participants sit at tables with women in similar life stages and circumstances or who have children of similar ages. An outstanding children’s program is provided during the time we meet for children ages 3 to 5, and nursery is provided for younger children on a space-available basis.
This year our study is called Preventing Identity Theft. It will meet in the Fellowship Hall on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 9:15 a.m. We are bombarded daily with messages about who we are or even who we should be. The only way to combat these damaging, false messages is to embrace the healing, true message of God’s Word. Preventing Identity Theft explores what the Scriptures teach us about our identity in Christ in order to help women live into the God given truth about who we are.
