Vida Lux: Live Light
Sunday, January 29, 6:00-7:30 PM @ the CMC
Grades 6-9.
Will there be fun? You know it. Will we learn some stuff? I sure hope so. We continue our series on how to read the Bible, we started with a look at Colossae the town, culture, and times. Then we talked about the author of the book, Paul. Next we'll press into Chapter one, and find out what one of the pound-for-pound most power packed books of the Bible has for us.

Divine Conspiracy Book Group
Are you interested in thinking more deeply about your faith, Jesus, and life as his disciple? Beginning February 21, Mark Lanum will be facilitating another short term book group, this time studying Dallas Willard’s, The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God.
This book was the 1999 Christianity Today Book of the Year. Since then it has been regarded as a must-read for the serious Christian. But be warned, this is not a book for the timid. Willard is a professor in the School of Philosophy at the University of Southern California and his writing, while intended for a broad audience, is intellectually challenging. As a result, reading and discussing the material is a great way to more fully grasp the depth of insight it contains. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate. If you are interested in joining, please email Mark (Mark@ClubLanum.com) for more information.
Tuesday evenings, February 21 - March 27 (6 weeks)
7:00-8:30 PM
Location TBD
