Life Together
Reformed Class, RM 309
This classic work by Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a bold and daring look at Christian life and what cross-centered living can look like for all believers. Together, the class will explore how to build meaningful community through mutual affection for Christ and for one another, the fundamental elements of community—prayer, worship, listening, service, and confession—and how love permeates every aspect of life together in Christ.

Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ
Presbyterian Women, RM 304
This Bible study invites women of all ages to draw closer by studying three central themes:
(1) Resilience - the ability to spring back and adapt in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, and stress;
(2) Joy - more than happiness, resulting from a deep reliance on placing our full trust in God; and
(3) Identity - not found in titles or possessions, but rooted in Jesus Christ alone.

Bridges & Crossroads, Highland Hall Garage
