12:00 Noon

Pete McCoy, who has spoken to Prime Timers in the past, has graciously accepted to speak to our group at Morningview at our January 24, 2012 meeting.  He was liberated from Germany during WWII, and is an author, adjunct, and professor of History at Faulkner, Troy, and Auburn/AUM.  The group has really enjoyed his presentations in the past. He will bring some of his books as some members were very interested in purchasing them.

His topic will be: “TO GET TO HIM, YA GOTTA GO THROUGH ME”.

Every December it is our distinct privilege and joy to celebrate and treasure God’s grace in Christ Jesus, given to us as a humble baby born in stable.

Though the story is old and familiar for so many of us, a fresh look at it’s cherished lines still brings a sense of wonder and awe even to those who know it best.

One of our favorite traditions at Morningview is the retelling of the sweet story through the the rich sounds and angelic melodies of the holiday season.
Apart from our regular weekend services of worship, we set aside one Sunday evening per year especially for the purpose of treasuring the child in the manger in song.

This is our “Christmas Celebration” and we would love to share it with you!

Please come and be the guest of our Orchestra and Choir as we celebrate the Savior with some of the most time honored songs of the season and then join us for a reception to follow.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Christian Worldview (200)
Instructor: Reid Ward ~ Room: 300 (The Big Room)
Textbook: none

Course Description: The Truth Project is a small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour DVD lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This study is designed to equip believers with a comprehensive biblical worldview.  Participants will be reintroduced to the truth claims of God, as each lesson discusses in great detail God’s design for living out the Christian worldview within each sphere of daily life, and the important need to marry our actions to our core beliefs.

Systematic Theology 3 (103)
Instructor: Rick Quave ~ Room: 330
Textbook: Bible Doctrine by Wayne Grudem

Course Description: Theology is the science that deals with all the facts that are knowable concerning God and His relation with the universe.  It seeks to organize these facts in a logical manner in order to determine what the whole Bible teaches about any given topic.  In this course, we will examine the doctrine of redemption, including election, regeneration, justification, conversion, sanctification, glorification (the order of salvation), and union with Christ.

Biblical Conflict Resolution (300)
Instructor: Scott Estes ~ Room: 329
Textbook: The Peacemaker by Ken Sande

Course Description: Serious, divisive conflict is everywhere: within families, in the church, and out in the world. And it can seem impossible to overcome its negative force in our lives.  This class will be a comprehensive and practical theology for conflict resolution designed to bring about not only a cease-fire but also Christlke unity and harmony.  The course will show how conflicts can can be turned into true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, coworkers, and fellow believers.

Personal Evangelism (300)
Instructor: Joel Thompson ~ Room: 322
Textbook: Today’s Gospel by Walt Chantry

Course Description: Scripture calls us to be faithful to proclaim the gospel wherever God has placed us.  Walt Chantry writes, “Differences between much of today’s preaching and that of Jesus are not petty; they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the Gospel message.” Based on the account of the Rich Young Ruler, this class will demonstrate that what so often passes for the gospel message today is not what Jesus was teaching.

Men’s Accountability (300)
Instructor: Mark Reese ~ Room: 331
Textbook: none

Course Description: Are you a man without an accountability group? God calls men to walk in faith together, not to be “loners” in their relationships with Christ. If you don’t have an accountability group or you would like to fold your group into another, this is the class for you! You will be encouraged to sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron, and to resist the devil’s temptation with the Word of God and the power of the gospel.

Cost: $30.00/person (includes your lunch)  Leave Bus Barn at 9:30 a.m. (We will eat lunch before touring the caverns) and return approximately 4:30 PM

During our hour long guided tour through beautiful DeSoto Caverns, you will see thousands of cave formations, making it one of the most concentrated collections in America. Our tour will begin in a room that is twelve stories high and larger than a football field. The caverns stay a comfortable 60 degrees year round, but with the 100% humidity inside the caverns, the temperature feels closer to 70.

There is a ramp that is used to enter and exit the caverns, so it is wheelchair and stroller accessible. There are two areas during the tour that are not handicapped accessible, but the tour goes into those areas and comes back out into the main room after a few minutes. The pathways are covered with small gravel with handrails provided where necessary for safety.

Monroe County Heritage Museum &  “Dutch Treat” Lunch

Friday, May 13, 2011

FREE, but you must make a reservation.  Leave Bus Barn at 9:00 a.m. (We will eat an early lunch) and return approximately 4:30 PM

Restored to its 1930s appearance, the courtroom is the model for Harper Lee’s fictional courtroom settings in To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s now one of the most recognized courtrooms in America because of the popular film version of the book. Although the movie was not filmed here, the set designer came to Monroeville to measure, photograph and draw the courtroom before recreating it on a Hollywood sound stage. Today, fans of the classic novel come to the courthouse from all over the world because it is the most tangible connection to the book’s fictional Maycomb. Visitors are free to move throughout the courtroom, including the balcony, witness chair, judge’s bench and tables used by the prosecutor and defense attorney. Throughout her childhood, Harper Lee often sat in the balcony as she watched her father practice law in this very room.

The museum houses three permanent exhibits: Old Courthouse: Heart of the Community, Truman Capote: A Childhood in Monroeville, and Harper Lee: In Her Own Words.

A Women’s Conference is a great addition to the ministry of Morningview for several reasons.  First, women do face unique challenges as they seek to walk with the Lord and apply Scriptural truth to the various dynamics of their lives.  Just as men benefit from instruction on walking with God, leading the family, and biblically balancing home and work responsibilities, so women too benefit from specialized biblical instruction.  As wives, mothers, grandmothers, and leaders in other contexts outside the home, women also need encouragement and instruction in the spiritual disciplines, in biblical priorities and roles, and in the practical expression of Christ-likeness in their marriages and homes.

Second, a women’s conference allows women to receive such instruction in a context where an experienced, gifted woman can serve as the primary preacher/teacher of the Word.  God certainly gifts women with the ability to teach or even preach, but God also limits the exercise of that gift to settings that preserve the leadership and headship of men in delivering spiritual instruction.  1 Tim 2:12 tells us that women are not allowed to exercise teaching authority over men.  That is why the biblical office of Pastor or Elder in the church is limited only to men.  But in the context of a class, a retreat, or a conference made up entirely of women, our ladies have the benefit of receiving solid biblical teaching from a feminine perspective.

Third, this conference provides an excellent opportunity for biblical fellowship among our ladies.  In most family contexts, the husbands do the majority of working and traveling outside of the home.  Wives and mothers may work outside the home as well, but their primary ministry is still the home.  (Wise men realize that their wives often work harder than they do as they maintain their ministry to the needs of the family.)  So for most women, the opportunity to leave home for an evening, to go to a conference center, to rest in a hotel, and to enjoy laughing and learning and worshiping with female friends and church-family members is an immense blessing.

Men, I hope you are making every effort to help your wives and other ladies in the church to be able to attend this event.   I hope you all are taking on the responsibilities of the home and family for these two days as a ministry to the women you love.  It will bless them.  It will refresh them.  It will equip them.  It will encourage them.  Be in prayer for our ladies and for Tanya York as this event approaches.  I love you all dearly!
