HALF-TRUTHS DISCUSSIONJoin us on Wednesdays through October 24 at 6:15 PM in the Fellowship Hall as we explore popular sayings that sound like they're in the Bible, but are not. Simple phrases like: "God helps those who help themselves," "Everything happens for a reason," and "Love the sinner, hate the sin." They sound biblical, and in some respects, they capture an element of truth. But they also miss the point in important ways.

CBF “Mission Bite”Fighting Predatory LendingPredatory payday lending is one of the greatest injustices the financially desperate face in America. Payday loans promise a rapid economic solution while creating drowning debt.

Fortunately, individuals like Scarlette Jasper, a CBF field personnel, are working to put an end to this abuse. Scarlette has served for many years in various parts of Kentucky as an advocate for her struggling neighbors. She puts her faith into action by facilitating group workshops, offering individualized financial training to help with budgeting and other financial management skills, and partnering with Together for Hope to warn of the entrapment of payday loans. If that were not enough, she is also engineering a micro-loan program to provide a financial alternative for families.

Scarlette is an example of what it is to walk with Christ and others. Her work not only helps those economically disadvantaged, but it professes the love of Jesus in tangible ways.

A Class to Consider: Noah’s Ark ClassNoah’s Ark is a friendly, welcoming Sunday School class serving couples and singles in their 40s-50s.

And, you will find the Noah’s Ark classmates throughout the community--leading, volunteering, and serving. Class discussions are lively and based on a quest to understand the teachings of Jesus and the Bible and how that fits into our daily lives. We meet upstairs above the Chapel in C-206 at 9:45 for coffee and conversation. Discussion begins at 10:00.
