Another 16-week morning study is "Philippians: How to Have

Joy," also by Kay Arthur. Jeanie Wyper facilitates this study in Room

C-400. This series is intensely practical and deals with many basic

truths of this Christian walk, such as handling anxiety, controlling

your mind, the purpose of suffering, and the Christian perspective on death.

Wednesday evening studies are available from 6:30 to 7:20

p.m. "Esther, A Woman of Strength and Dignity," is a Chuck Swindoll

study being led by Donna Dow in Room C-103. Discover in the book

of Esther how God's power and sovereign control can work

silently and invisibly behind the scenes for our good and His glory. Karen

Parsons leads T.W. Hunt's "The Mind of Christ" in Room C-102. Based

on Philippians 2:5-11, this study teaches believers how to think the

thoughts of Christ and become like Him.

"Moms for Moms," a study of personalities and relationships,

will kick off the year Jan. 22 with a video series, "How to Accept

Yourself, Understand Others, and Like Them Anyway," by Eleanor

Lewis. The study is from 9:15 to 11 a.m. Jan. 22 through May 21 in Room

C-100. Moms for Moms will continue throughout the year to provide

programs in parenting skills, home management and marriage

enrichment.

Church office at 770-487-8133.
