Unsheltered Life
November 2, 9, 16 and 23
Rev. Amy Aspey and Zachary Reat

Fellowship Parlor The Columbus Coalition for the Homeless, an organization that works to educate community members about the problem of homelessness and to advocate on behalf of people who are homeless, will present portions of the Coalition's education program, "Unsheltered Life.” Activities will include a formerly homeless person who will tell his story, participating in a simulated experience of homelessness called "Three Days on the Streets,” brainstorming ways that people can get involved such as responding to people with courtesy when panhandled, engaging in Trinity's many service projects and making investments of time and money in the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. Theological reflections on the Christian's responsibility to serve will be an integral part of every activity.

Rejoicing in Hope: An Advent Study
November 30, December 7, 14, 28
Reverend Amy Aspey Fellowship Parlor

Rev. Amy Aspey will facilitate the Advent study, "Rejoicing in Hope" by James Harnish. Together we will experience the Christmas story through five characters (Elizabeth and Zechariah, Mary, Joseph and Simeon) from the Gospel of Luke. Each character, in his or her own way, finds joy in hope. While the weekly devotions are short, they provide a wonderful means for focusing on the real meaning of the season. Halftime Glen & Carmen Himes, Bob & Barbara Bowers, Jim & Karen Houk Room 208 The first half of our lives is spent furthering our education and careers and strengthening our families. At half time we make needed adjustments in order to have a strong second half and win the game of life. This DVD series, based on the book Halftime by Bob Buford, will challenge you to develop a life plan that will help you move from a successful to a significant life. This class will provide steps and encouragement for adults who desire to multiply all that God has given them and give it back as God designed us to do so that we can live an abundant and significant life.

Five Love Languages of God
Sue and Bill Fitz, Alison and Joe Poor Room 207

We feel most loved when others speak our primary love language. We are drawn to those people because they are meeting our basic need to feel loved. Gary Chapman, the best-selling author of The Five Love Languages, examines how his concept relates to God's agape love. Does God demonstrate His love for us mainly through acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts, quality time or physical touch? If man is made in the image of God, we would expect to find all five love languages expressed in the character and nature of God. This class will enable you to take the first step toward feeling God's love more personally and expressing love for God in more meaningful ways resulting in a better understanding others' expressions of love for God.

Boundaries with Kids
Rhonda & Paul Sipp, Joan Briggs, Laura & Phil Richter Room 209

This class will teach us as parents, how to prepare our children to assume responsibility for their own lives. Based on the best-selling book of the same title by Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Cloud, this DVD series will explain how to set limits and legitimate boundaries for our family and still be loving parents. It will help us as parents to instill a Godly character in our children, the foundation of raising a healthy, happy family.
