Wednesday Evenings this Winter: Power Your Spirit
Starting Wednesday, January 15, at 7:00 pm
The hope of PazNaz is that people experience God's transforming
power. This power comes through connecting with others who are seeking to be
discovered and transformed by God. Some people are new, and will be searching
to learn more. Others are struggling, and will need a relationship to remind
them that there is still hope. And still others come because it serves as a
reminder to them of the importance of sharing life together. This Winter,
classes are available to further your connection with the Body of Christ, where
stories of transformation are made possible.
Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University

Men's Ministries: When God?
What do you do... When God seems distant? When prayers seem to
go unanswered? When you don't understand what's currently going on in your
life? Plan on being a part of this group of men on Wednesday nights as they
start the new series, When God?,that will help you navigate through difficult
or confusing times.

Generational Formation
Within the church today there are several Generations
represented. Each of those generations connect, learn, and express themselves
in different ways. Within those expressions each generation tends to align
themselves accordingly. How does a church community come together despite all
these unique connections and differences? How do they become the Body of Christ
in a world they are called to serve in together? This class is an invitation
for all ages to come and learn together.

Life With God
Do you desire to hear God? To know him more fully? Do you want a
greater measure of the abundant life Jesus offers you? Whether you are a new
Christian or have been in church all your life, this class is designed to help
you deepen your intimacy with God. The Bible repeatedly shows God doing life
with his people, and that same invitation is for you today. But how do you
partake of the Bible in a way that is life giving rather than dry, boring, or
confusing? Richard Foster, in his book "Life with God," combined with
John's Gospel will guide this group on a journey of relationship with God
through his Word.

Intentional Prayer
Creating space to be intentional about the things of God helps

space to pray. Come pray for the church community, personal requests, offer
praise, and be unified alongside other followers of Jesus seeking to be
intentional with you.
