The following classes begin January 15, 2012. Classes are held Sundays, 8:30 - 9:30 a.m.
In-depth Bible Study Series. Three studies are being offered in The Connection Point with each using the same resources: your Bible, journal, and a booklet entitled Know Your Bible - All 66 Books Explained and Applied. The cost of the booklet is $1. The journal should be a composition book of your choosing, which can cost from $1-$7. (See any office supply store for purchase by September 4.) Each class syllabus provides a daily reading outline and instructions on how to journal. You will also be further enriched by the in-class group projects and/or at-home individual projects. (In-depth means that the books of the Bible will be read from cover to cover.)

It provides data on the author and time frame, a ten-word synopsis, thoughts on what makes the book unique or unusual, a listing of key verrses, and a "So What?" section of practical application. It's a fantastic resource for individuals and ministries! Quotations are in the NIV, ASV, and KJV.
