The session is based for the most part on the book, Hill City Eats. The class will be held at the Ingram household starting at 6:00.
You will be able to try out some of the recipes used in our downtown restuarants.
Hill City Eats
A study for the doubters, the disappointed and the disillusioned, and those that would like to have possible answers to those questions. This study is based on the book by the same name authored by Brian McLaren.
The book presents in 10 chapters reasons that many people are falling away from organized Christian communities or do not see the need to join Christian communities. The next 10 chapters present reasons to stay connected to Christian communities. The last 8 chapters discuss how we might help ourselves and others find relevance in staying in or joining Christian communities. Where ever you are in your journey,
you will find this study thought-provoking and enlightening.

Do I Stay Christian?
Women's Bible study
For most of us, life is busy and filled with distractions, pulling us in every way but God's way. When we're driven by distraction, it's easy to wander through life without appreciating the gift of every moment. Our time on earth is measured. We should want to make every moment count. In this six-week study of Luke, we will follow the life and ministry of Jesus as we consider the choices He made on the way to the cross. We want to ensure we are living each day to the fullest and making a difference for God's kingdom.
