“THE DRAMA OF MARK”
For the FALL of 2011, Northlake’s Adult Classes will explore the Gospel of Mark and his call to discipleship. Our worship and preaching series will also focus on Mark, and we expect this to be a great time of deepening our commitment to following Jesus. For these series we will have a different teacher each week from within each class leading the discussion on the text.
If you would like more information on our new Adult series, feel free to contact Shawn Duncan. You can also contact Shawn if you would like to get your hands on one of the Northlake Devotional Guides we are using to guide us through Mark.
Adult Formation classes for the series on the Drama of Mark include:
Koinonia Class (The Forum)
The Koinonia Class thrives on great discussion and emphasizes the life applications of their studies. This is a group of adults who generally have teenage, college-age, and young adult children. They meet in the new classroom downstairs called the Forum.
Prime Timers Class (Chapel)
The Prime Timers Class enjoys quhttp://www.northlake.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=6&action=editality, in-depth studies of Scripture with thoughtful dialogue. This class is typically composed of anyone from empty-nesters to our most senior members.
Connections Class (Room 205)
The Connections Class seeks to connect participants to one another and to God through conversations about life centered upon each week’s sermon text. It is facilitated each week by Jim and Laura Neal & Ike and Gwyn Reeser. This class is typically composed of parents with young children.
Young Adults Class (Room 204)
This class is a place for college-age and young adults who are looking to interact with peers over Scripture in ways that are challenging and relevant.
Spanish Bible Study (Room 202)
The class is a great place for those who speak Spanish as their first language to connect with each other and study Scripture together. It is led by Felipe Baltazar.
Front Porch Group (downstairs “Living Room”)
This group meets in the Living Room and is reading and discussing Lee Camp’s Mere Discipleship.
Northlake Campus and Homes
Sunday evenings at Northlake focus on LIFE Groups, and we encourage everyone to get involved in this ministry. Groups meet in either homes or on Northlake’s campus for meals, prayer, study and the simple act of spending time together in order to build stronger relationships.
For Fall 2011, Northlake is going to follow a study based on James Bryan Smith’s book The Good and Beautiful God. We invite everyone to participate in this new ministry and, if you haven’t already signed up for a group, there’s still time.
Northlake Small Groups meet at the Northlake campus on Sunday Nights from 6:00 – 7:00 PM as well as homes in and around metro-Atlanta. There are also groups meeting on Thursday and Monday nights if Sunday evenings are a little too hectic for your schedule.
If you are new to Northlake, or looking to explore our community on a smaller scale, please contact Ike Reeser, or call the church office at 770.414.8717, and we’ll help you connect with a group.
Northlake Campus
7:00 – 8:00 PM
The work week can be hectic, and that’s one reason why we like to pause in the middle of it and spend an hour together in study, prayer, and worship. All of our Wednesday night classes meet on Northlake’s campus, and we offer a variety of options, from book studies to children and youth activities, to informal Bible discussion groups.
Below is a list of our current adult, Wednesday evening classes. Contact Shawn Duncan if you have any questions or would like more information on any class.
Women’s Discussion Group (upstairs in “The Parlor”)
This group is reading and discussing One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp.
Book Discussion Group (Room 204)
This group enjoys reading and discussing books on faith and discipleship, including an occasional work of fiction. During the winter and spring of 2011, the group is studying Eugene Peterson’s A Long Obedience in the Same Direction. Each session begins with a time of prayer, and the group is more than willing to engage the tougher questions of faith and life.
Women’s Bible Reading Group (Room 203)
All adult women are invited to this group of ladies who spend Wednesdays reading and discussing the sermon text for the following Sunday. With an emphasis on transformation, the time is spent reflecting on scripture and the meaning it has for our lives.
Men’s Bible Reading Group (The Forum)
All adult men are welcome to this informal group that gather downstairs in the Forum. Similar to the Women’s Bible Reading Group, the men discuss the Biblical text and theme for worship the following Sunday.
Women’s Share Group (Living Room)
Opening with a brief devotional, this class offers a time to share personal struggles or victories. The group provides support, encouragement, and prayer for each other in a confidential environment.
Midweek at the Chapel
All adults are invited to Midweek at the Chapel for a time of worship, prayer, and study. Led by Carson Reed, the text for the upcoming Sunday worship guides the discussion, making this a great time to hear from Carson’s notes as he prepares for Sunday’s sermon.
