Classes Offered Fall 2010
The Truth About Sex
Facilitators: Monty and Mari Beth Moreland
Wednesday 7:30 PM
This is a 6-week study of what God has to say about sex. He knows all about it... he invented it. Our culture seems to provide nothing but confusion on the topic. We will take 6 weeks to lay a foundation so you can filter out the garbage, avoid the pain of following through with the world's lies, restore brokenness if you have believed the lies, and know how to stand up under pressure from the world to fall into immature thinking... all according to what God says about it. Contact Monty if you would like more information.
