Summer Trimester: May through July
Community Life Groups
Webb CLG
Start date: May 1
Schedule: Thursdays, 7–8:30 PM
Topic: Cultures in Conflict (Ray Vander Laan)
Description: Biblical analogies and examples, while meaningful and helpful even to this day, were first meant to convey God’s truth to particular people in a particular time and place. So the more fully we can appreciate those times and places, the more fully we can respond to the power of the Word.
Ray Vander Laan’s preaching and teaching ministry on location in Israel is focused on understanding the Bible in light of the historical and cultural context in which God placed it. This perspective on the Bible highlights God’s call for His people to be a transforming influence on their culture.

Farmer CLG
Start date: May 1
Schedule: Thursdays, 7–8:30 PM
Topic: Respectable Sins
Description: Have Christians become so preoccupied with “major” sins that we have lost sight of our need to deal with more subtle sins? This study addresses the “acceptable” sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, including pride and anger. We’ll go to the heart of the matter, exploring our feelings of shame and grief and opening a new door to God’s forgiveness and grace. Travel down the road of spiritual formation and discover your true identity as a loved child of God.
