Wednesday, October 23 | 6:00 PM - 7:15 PM | Room 113
Are you thinking about retirement or already retired and looking for guidance on what’s next? Join us for our new class, “Navigating Toward/Through Retirement,” based on Colossians 3:23: “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

This biblically based course will be held over six one-hour sessions, offering practical tools and discussions on how to prepare for and thrive during retirement. We’ll cover topics like finances, health, time management, service to God, and more.

Who should attend? Anyone nearing retirement or already in retirement who wants to make the most of this new season of life while honoring God with their plans and goals.

Bring your Bible, a notebook, and a heart ready to explore how to navigate retirement in a way that glorifies God. We hope to see you there!

It's not too late to join:

• Pastor's "Overview of the Bible"
  Meet in Fellowship Hall
  Download Acts 24 Notes PDF
  

• Explore the Bible: Acts
  Meet in Room 201
  Led by George Gorham, great for Connection Group teachers and open to everyone. The book of Acts is “Part Two” of Luke’s correspondence with Theophilus (Luke 1:3; Acts 1:1-2). The Gospel of Luke relates “all that Jesus began to do and teach” (Acts 1:1), Acts relates the advancement of Christ’s gospel through His church. Acts 1–12 feature Peter as the central character in the early formation and growth of the church. Toward the end of this section, the conversion of Saul of Tarsus paves the way for the second half of Acts.
   

• Men's Ministry
  Meet in Room 109
  We will begin studying "Holiness: It's Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots" by J.C. Ryle. We will be guiding men how to cultivate the character of Christ, align their lives with God's will, and battle sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.
   

• Women's Ministry: "Grateful"
  Meet in Room 108
  Books may be purchased online.
  
  The Bible shows us that becoming a grateful person begins with acknowledging how the One who owes us nothing has given us everything. This study will help you develop a thankful heart that can be cultivated into a continual harvest of gratitude, regardless of the circumstances.
   
• Adult Co-Ed: "Tactics"
  Meet in Room 110
  "Tactics" by Gregory Koukl and led by Josh Wheatley and Kurt Denning. Books may be purchased online.
  
  In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority. You'll learn how to stop challengers in their tracks and how to turn the tables on questions or provocative statements.
