Christ, Up Close and Personal (by Josh McDowell)
Leader: Derek Brown
Annex Building: Room A104
This Christ Up Close & Personal 13-Session Interactive Group Course is designed to equip adults to lead their families to a startling realization: The Holy Spirit is real and desires to live through their lives and consequently wants them to live Christ-like. Participants will be challenged to do no less than become a walking, healthy model of authentic Christ-like living.

For Women Only (by Shaunti Feldhahn)
Leader: Sharon Henry
Annex Building: Room A110
For Women Only is for every woman who wants to understand and support her husband in becoming all that God intends him to be. Practical tips growing out of biblical principles offer women ways to put new insights into practice day-by-day.

Connections - Fairview's New Member's Class
Leader: Pastor Phil Henry
Annex Building - Room A107
"Connections" is Fairview's new member's class and is open to all new members as well as veterans. We will explore the purpose and ministry of our church and how you can use your own personal S.H.A.P.E. to get connected with ministry. Using Pastor Phil's "Christianity 101" book, we will also study some of the core biblical beliefs of Christianity such as "Eight Reasons You Can Trust the Bible," "Who is God?," "Who is Jesus," overviews of the Old and New Testament and more.

THURSDAY CLASSES
The Virtuous Woman
Leaders: Teresa Jones & Pam Ireland
Annex Building
Thursdays - 9:15am or 7:00pm
Does the woman in Proverbs 31 make you feel like a sluggard? For years Christian women have struggled to understand what the Proverbs 31 woman was all about. Instead of encouragement or instruction, for most, this passage offered "more guilt than eating a one-pound bag of M&Ms." Is this the ideal woman? Or is the Proverbs 31 woman an outdated fixture of the past? Join other women on Thursday mornings or evenings for this seven week study, revealing the heart and character of a godly woman.

Every third week we will participate in a mission project together with the Women on Mission ministry.

Registration is required for childcare at the Women's Ministry bulletin board. For more information, contact Cindy Simmons at 662-7124.
