Facing Your Modern Day Idol Room 181 Teacher: LeAnn Newsom (leannn@willowbrook.org or 883-0907, ext. 140)
Oprional book is $10
Since most of us tend to think of idols in terms of statues made of mixed materials, we are quick to dismiss the idea that we may have some! However, very simply put, an idol's in anything that consumes us, anything that has takes first place over God's rightful place in our lives. Many times we allow these "idols" to creep in before we know it, and attach to our hearts before we catch them.
Join us as we explore what these modern day idols look like through Kelly Minter's teachings in "No Other Gods." Let's commit to reprioritize our lives together, letting God have His rightful place back!

Choices Room
Taught by LeAnn Newsom (leannn@willowbrook.org or 883-0907, ext. 140)
Join us as we get to know the people God used to bring forth His redemptive plan. We will take an in-depth look at the characters behind the stories. We will dissect the choices they made and the consequences that surrounded them. Their choices, just like ours, have far reaching implications.
God chose to work through men and women then and still does today!
As we review a new character each week, we will be forced to take a look at our own lives, our own choices and those around us who are affected by them. This study will keep you on the edge of your seat as we soar through a history book where God is the main character!
