Moving can be emotionally difficult in even the best of circumstances. We feel uprooted, giving up our sense of community and of being connected. If you are new to Katy or feel stuck and haven’t been able to feel at home in your new surroundings this class is for you. After the Boxes are unpacked will help you unpack and process the strong emotions that accompany such a major life transition. You will find that the challenges you face because of a move will be used in your life and in the life of your family for personal and spiritual growth. th st Leaders: Jody Mayfield and Amy Richardson.

But what if we navigated these three chapters as they were originally heard: as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about repentance, salvation, and sanctification? This 9-week Bible study does just that. Seat yourself on a mountainside to learn at the feet of Jesus. Ask for ears to hear and a heart to respond to the teaching of our King. th th Leaders: Felicity Ammons, Vianey Sanchez, Kelly Sobieski. Cost: $13. September 8 - November 10 .
