Bible Study:  Summer session of "To Boldly Go . . . " for Star Trek fans and anyone interested.  This group meets on Thursdays @ 1 PM in the Commons.  Each week is presented as "stand alone" so join us whenever you can.  There is plenty of popcorn and lively discussion each week.   
 
Great World Religions:  Islam.  You are invited to join a small group study of the facts and myths surrounding Islam and its more than 1.2 billion adherents.  This six week program will be led by university professor and international government and media consultant John L. Esposito in a DVD format, with group discussion facilitated by Jeanne Pickerel.  This study will begin Wednesday, August 18 at 7:15 pm in The Commons.  The course will help you better understand Islam's role as both a religion and a way of life, and its deep impact on world affairs both historically and today.  It is important to understand what Muslims believe, and how their beliefs are carried out privately and publicly.  
 
Ladies Summer Community Bible Study.  Mondays at 1:00 PM beginning Monday, June 28.  "Be Hopeful" by Warren Wiersbe:  A study of 1 Peter
 
Wednesday Night Book Study.  Join us for a Feast for the Body, Mind, and Soul.  "Good Goats:  Healing Our Image of God" starts Wednesday, July 21 at 7:00 pm following the fellowship meal.  This four week study is based on the scripture passage that tells of separating the sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31-46).  This study will open our hearts to receive God's healing and wholeness.  Facilitated by Becky Morrison.  For more information contact Becky at 828-862-6962 or becky@llmorrison.net
