We are looking for members from BTPC that are willing to volunteer one hour a week to mentor one student throughout the school year.

NEW STUDIES IN SUNDAY SCHOOL
| Faith Builders Sunday School Class is beginning a new study on August 30! We are using the Life Change Bible Study resource and will begin our study of Genesis - the first book of God's revelation to man - which is a book about beginnings. God creates the heavens...the earth...man and woman. But rebellion breaks out, and God begins the task of mending His relationship with mankind. The events that unfold in this extraordinary book give form to the entire Bible, right to the end of Revelation and God's plan for a new beginning. Visit us any Sunday at 9 a.m. as we learn how this applies to our lives in this place and time! We meet in Bentwood House and are a mixed group of ages, singles and marrieds.
Theology 101 is studying Exodus, using the Interpretation Series by T. Fretheim.. The Youth is studying the Re:Form series, focusing on questions with which all Christians struggle.
Come and join any class!
