The Story of Reality
Sundays, September 19–October 24, 9:30 AM
Onsite
What do you use to interpret events as they unfold in the world? Do you use personal opinion? Media’s opinion? Science? Song lyrics? The force? Something else? In “The Story of Reality,” we’ll examine the big picture to see God’s story unfold from Creation through the End Times. We’ll work to assemble a world view, showing how the pieces fit together to guide us through life and to understand events unfolding around us. Click here to register for this class. Questions? Email Mark Weber at mvweber1@yahoo.com.

Other Classes
Women's Bible Class: The Armor of God
Tuesdays, September 14–October 26, 7:00–8:15 PM
Onsite
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A cunning, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you — your emotions, your mind, your family, your future. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study based on Ephesians 6:10–19 is for you!
Join other women for Priscilla Shirer’s “The Armor of God.” They will meet on Tuesday evenings for this 7-week, video-based study. The group will gather for a 30-minute video followed by discussion of the week’s homework. Using The Armor of God study book, plan for up to 20 minutes of study each day. (The study book can be purchased on Amazon for $16.99.) Questions? Call Vicki Weber at 952-838-5500.

Tuesday Evening Age 18-28 Bible Study
Twelve21 is a bi-monthly meeting of college students and young adults on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. Participants have the opportunity to meet with others who are in a similar stage of life and to talk about how faith and life converge. The meetings, which include Bible study, discussion, and fellowship, typically take place at an area restaurant or brewery.
- On the first Tuesday of the month we have Bible study, usually meeting at Cross View, in the Senior High Room. We read some scripture, dig into what we saw and heard, and then answer “so what?” and discuss how it applies to us.
- On the third Tuesday of the month we meet somewhere, usually TBD for fellowship, typically at an area restaurant or brewery.
Contact Pastor Toby Schmidt (toby@crossview.net) for more information about this group and this study.
Ecclesiastes
Thursdays, 9:30–11:00 AM (with Chuck Daenzer)
Online
Every day bombards people with so many desires, and we wish we could pursue them all. Ecclesiastes recounts the story of one person who decided to try. He denied himself nothing that he wanted: Money. Sex. Power. Prestige. Knowledge. Experiences. He pursued them all. But what happens when we reach the end of those things? If you feel like you’re racing the clock for all you desire, this strangely named book may feel surprisingly familiar. See where his desires led him and what he learned through it all. If you have questions or need information, email Chuck at cdaenzer1@comcast.net.
