December EXALT Classes
This Sunday, December 7th, the following EXALT classes are being offered. Start time is 9:30am—we hope to see you there!

· Elijah: Courage, Crisis, and the God Who Shows Up—Elijah was bold yet broken, powerful yet human, a praying prophet who stood alone with God. In this three-week series, discover how his courage, struggles, and faith speak directly to us today. Peter Robinson will lead this study in the Fellowship Hall.
· Following Jesus in a Techy World—Few things have impacted our lives in the present age more than technology. Advances in technology are occurring at hyper speeds, which makes it all the more difficult for Christians to know how to steward technology for the glory of God. How should we use today's tech devices as Christians? In this class our goal is to examine the topics of phone use, social media, and artificial intelligence. This class is specifically intended for teens and their parents. We will spend time together discussing how we should steward technology in our families. Pastor Seth will lead this class in the Gymnasium.
