WINTER CLASSES
BEGINNING
Sunday Morning
“God's Word of Encouragement: A Study of the Letter to the Hebrews”
Where do we find hope? How do we know that faith in Christ leads to eternal life? Is there any reason to be encouraged? These questions will be answered by an in-depth study of scripture in the Life Stage class of your choice. The study of Hebrews is uplifting and life-changing. Hebrews is a brilliant and sublime (not to mention inspired) explanation of Christianity's roots in Judaism.
Wednesday Evening
“Searching for the Real Jesus”
A special class on what we really know about Jesus, taught by David Vaughn and Tim Berry.
“Cloud of Witnesses”
This class for women, taught by Laura Day, will revisit some of the stories of those who witnessed the Power, Providence and Purpose of God throughout scripture. Derived from the 40 Day Study that was offered last Fall, this is a new, in-depth study.
“Walking Through the Epistles”
Anthony Jones and Keith Stefanko continue leading this persistently popular class for APEX (Young Adults).

HELP HAITI
Haitian Christians Ready to Meet the Basic Needs of 5,000
Drop Your Contribution in the Collection Box in the Foyer
From Darrell Riley, Elder, Northeast Church of Christ, Kingsport, TN
Thank you and the Bay Area congregation so much for your desire to help with the Haiti relief. Sam Ross and I have been involved with the work in Haiti for about 25 years. The Northeast Church of Christ in Kingsport, TN, where we are elders, is the sponsoring church for Jean Robert St. Hilaire, who directs the School of Preaching and is full-time minister for the Delmas 43 Church of Christ in Port-Au-Prince. Over the last 20 years, the school has been responsible for over 200 new congregations and over 20,000 Christians. The congregation has grown from 6 to over 1,200. Many former members have moved on to establish other congregations; not only in Haiti but also in other, mostly French speaking, countries all over the world, including Paris, France.
Sam and I have made several trips to work and teach in Haiti, along with several members of our congregation. In all the years we have known Jean Robert (We call him John Robert); we have never had any reason to doubt his dedication to the Lord and soundness to His doctrine. He is very well know and respected in the church throughout the country and by the Haitian government. He is experienced in distribution of disaster relief, having served well during the fairly recent hurricane disaster. We trust him completely and are now sending some of the funds directly to him for purchase and distribution of food and supplies among the brethren. We hope to raise enough funds to help repair and/or rebuild their meager church buildings and homes. We will also direct some funds to Church of Christ relief organizations that can get food and supplies into the country, as well as medical aid. ... We are already coordinating with the Church of Christ Disaster Response Team (DRT), the International American Medical Missions (IAMM) and the Schrader Lane Church of Christ in Nashville, but we are always looking for others. All of these are under the oversight of Church of Christ elderships.
By working together, we can Glorify God by helping His people in this terrible time of trial.
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:35
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers”. Gal 6:10
