Tuesday Breakaway

Christ-like Communication for Relationship Building & Conflict Resolution
Speaking comes easy; Communication requires effort. Effective communication is the bedrock of healthy relationships. It establishes rapport, expands the knowledge of both sender and receiver, and paves
the way for understanding. The ability to communicate well is learned, and we have no better teacher than the One who, from the beginning, made His intentions and His heart known—with His words. This 10-week Bible study will examine the many facets of effective communication. It will also offer useful biblical tools for communicating through periods of relational conflict.(Book will be available in the Nook on opening day of Break Away)
Teachers: Judy Rossi, Liz Schmidt & Jeannette Shaw
Venue: In Person

Ecclesiastes Unplugged
“Meaningless! Meaningless! … Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 NIV) What a downer. But … Can you relate? How DO we find true meaning and satisfaction in our lives? And what exactly are we to make of this messy, complex, and often confounding life here on earth? Ecclesiastes wrestles with these questions, shedding light on why we pursue the meaningless things of this world, when there is great purpose living life according to the will of God. (We’ll be using our Bible & a journal for Ecclesiastes will be available in the Nook)

2 Corinthians: All Things New by Kelly Minter
Suffering..comfort..suffering...comfort..can you relate? Since God’s church is meant to thrive in any city and every circumstance in which we find ourselves, Paul’s letter to Corinth is as timely as ever. We will explore anchoring truths, encounter Christ, open our hearts in the midst of hurtful relationships, and what it means to embrace the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Each one of us has a message to proclaim and live by: because of Jesus the old has gone; the new has come.

Numbers: With Us in the Wilderness by Lauren Chandler
Whatever your personal situation, Numbers will offer you comfort and hope. “God is WITH us”, a beautiful truth tucked into the book of Numbers. We see how God continues to guide His people who complain and rebel. His presence doesn’t leave them. Our world is a wilderness, perhaps different than what the Israelites experienced in Exodus, but still with its own challenges, struggles and battles. Join us to walk through the book of Numbers together, finding our identity in God’s promises, love, grace and mercy, just as the Israelites did.

Ephesians: Included In Christ by Heather Holleman
Come rewrite the narratives of your life according to biblical truth!
Combat the lies by diving deep into God’s Word and examining how we are included, chosen, seated, strengthened, renewed, and filled by God, as we grow in faith. We will look to Him to deliver us from the chains we’ve carried and proclaim the abundant life Christ died to give us. Together we will grow in our faith, ready to share the hope of Christ with those who don’t yet know Him.

Old Testament (Unplugged)
Do you think the OT is just filled with boring lists of hard-to-say names, bizarre rules, evil kings, prophets spewing doom,
and violent displays of wrath? Think again! With the Bible as our text, this class will provide an overview of the OT as
we study selections from the books of Law, History, Poetry, and Prophets, with a particular emphasis on how Jesus is
revealed. We will glimpse the glory of God as we see His plan for redemption unfold in the pages of Scripture and in
our own lives.

Rooted Motherhood by Heather Myers
Are you interested in digging into Scripture to examine how God uses motherhood to teach us about Himself? And would
you like to explore the ways He uses the joys and struggles of being a mom to draw us closer to Him? Then join this study
for every age and stage of motherhood, whether you have little ones, teenagers or adult kids out on their own. Using

Wednesday W.O.W.
Every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm-8:30pm at Burke Community Church beginning September 3rd.
James Unplugged
Ever wonder what it would be like to be the half sibling of Jesus? The apostle James had his doubts believing his brother Jesus, but when He saw the resurrected Christ (1 Corinthians 15:7), he was all in. James had a deep love and concern for the brethren who had been scattered because of persecution from out of Jerusalem into the world. The book of James is a “how to” book, written to those scattered believers. James helps us to navigate through today’s trials, avoid temptations, allowing us to measure our own faith journey. What pleases God? Find out as we dig for treasures of wisdom woven throughout the Book of James. (We’ll be using our Bible & a journal will be available in the Nook)

Young Women: Acts 13-28: Part 2 God’s Power at the Ends of the Earth by Phyllis LePeau
The power of the Holy Spirit is front and center in the Book of Acts as it records the transformation of the disciples from
fearful and doubting men to men confident and bold in proclaiming Christ, even at great personal risk. Empowered by the
Spirit of God, these early believers faced imprisonment, beatings, rejection and martyrdom, yet persevered to spread the
Good News in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and throughout the known world. That same power can transform us today
to be bold for Jesus. Join us for this study of the second half of Acts and experience the calling, healing, empowering and
sending dynamic of the Holy Spirit in your life.
