Led by the Rev. Marcia King

Challenging Lifestyles, a Bible study that examines Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and the radical alternative it presents to our modern everyday life. In this 12-week course, we will explore:

• How to find the secret of happiness: What are our contemporary ideas of happiness? Where is true happiness to be found?
 
• How to change the world around you: Transformation of the world through our relationships with others.

• How to understand the Old Testament: How the Old Testament is not only relevant to our lives as Christians, but also essential to our understanding of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

• How to handle anger: How we can handle anger? What does the Bible say about anger? Is it ever justified? How can we control it?

• How to approach sex in the 21st century: What is the biblical framework for sex? What are modern day attitudes towards sex? Why are Christians called to be “radical” in the way we live our lives?

• How to respond to divorce: A look at the painful subject of relationship breakdown.

This class is an excellent follow-up for the Alpha course, however, previous participation in Alpha is not necessary. Any questions, call the Rev. Marcia King at 385-2150 x 214 or marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org.

Opportunities Especially for Women

LIFE: Living In Faith Everyday

The Rev. Marcia King

In a LIFE group, women learn how to receive, live, and share the abundant life of Jesus Christ. It is a group focused for and about women in Christian leadership. LIFE is not a Bible Study, fellowship group, support group, accountability group, or a prayer group. It is a combination of all of these and more. We learn together, laugh together, support one another, are accountable to one another, and grapple with issues. The curriculum appeals to the mind, heart, and soul. If you can commit your time and effort to learning more about yourself, leadership, the Christian faith, and building relationships, then LIFE is for you. The next LIFE group will begin in Winter 2010. If you are interested, contact The Rev. Marcia King at 385-2150 x 214 or marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org.

Women’s Huddle Groups

The Rev. Marcia King

A “Huddle” is a challenging accountability group. In a Women’s Huddle we:

  • Hear stories of God at work in the lives of the Huddle members
  • Hear stories of God at work in their missional situations
  • See positive changes in character in response to God’s initiative
  • See skills develop and flourish
  • People grow in self awareness and maturity
  • Laugh, celebrate, and have fun together

The key questions asked are: What is God saying to you at this time? What are you going to do about it? If you would like to be part of forming a new Huddle, please contact The Rev. Marcia King at 385-2150 x 214 or marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org.
 

Opportunities Especially for Men



Christian Leadership Concepts

The Rev. Tony Welty

Big commitments most often yield big benefits. Such is the case with a growing men’s discipleship ministry at St. George’s. The groups, referred to as “CLC Groups,” utilize materials developed and provided by Christian Leadership Concepts, a Brentwood based organization. Each group is comprised of up to 12 men andcovers everything from becoming “a man after God’s own heart” to learning how to “stand with a friend” to “reforming our community.” Each group is free to establish its own meeting schedule, though most meet together early one weekday morning for 2 hours. The CLC groups are an excellent combination of fellowship, Bible study, in-depth discussions, and developing lasting friendships. If you’re looking for a way to intentionally grow as a man who follows Jesus Christ, you need look no further.

For more information or to register for a group, please call The Rev. Tony Welty at 385-2150
x 215.
