Sunday • February 6–April 24 • 10:30 AM (2 hours)
Phil Eppard: 314–753–3782 • peppard@gracestl.org
See this incredible thread running from Genesis through Revelation. God enters
into a binding agreement with His people and always keeps His promises. Trusting
Him as a covenant partner frees us from the bondage of worry and anxiety. This
study will transform the way you read the Scriptures! We will meet both online
(Zoom) and in person. The workbook is available in class for $24.75, some
scholarships are available. Please bring a Bible and writing materials. The online
and in–person versions meet on Sundays from 10:30am–12:30pm in room C206
from 02/06/2022–4/24/2022.

Sunday • March 6–April 10 • 10:30 AM (1 hour 30 minutes)
Kim Howard: 314–323–9183 • kimahfit@gmail.com
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo?
Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world
with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love
relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t
working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts; it’s falling in love with God. And, as
Francis Chan describes his book, Crazy Love, once you encounter His love you”ll
never be the same. This class meets on Sundays from 10:30–11:45am in room C202
from 03/06/2022– 04/10/2022. Please purchase the book online prior to class.

Phil Eppard: 314–753–3782 • peppard@gracestl.org
With all that’s happening, people wonder what the future holds. Will there ever
be peace on earth? How long will the world live under the threat of terrorism? Is
a one–world ruler on the horizon? God has already provided answers to these
questions and more in the book of Daniel, His blueprint for the future. In fact, when
we understand the prophecies Daniel reveals, every other prophecy in the Bible
will fit somewhere in the plan. Please pre–register. The workbook is available in
class for $7.00. Please bring writing materials. This class meets on Sundays from
9–10am in room C206 from 02/6/2022–03/20/2022. Childcare is not available.

Joe Wigton: 314–583–9121 • jwigton@att.net
What does it take to be wise? How do you gain wisdom? James 1:5 tells us to

today and live our lives for Him and through Him. We are currently meeting in room

around the world, uplifting and equipping fellow believers for productive dialogue
that invites doubters and skeptics to follow Jesus Christ. This class meets on

Erika Atkins: 314–713–1171 • wobpsalm139@gmail.com
Join the Women of Blessing group as we study Anxious by Scarlet Hiltibidal. Life
can feel like a sad, scary, and broken place. We don’t need to watch the news to
know that, our bodies already know. There’s plenty to worry about, and the world
is full of faulty solutions for our anxieties. But true peace comes when we learn to
hold God’s Word up to what worries us. Let’s learn how God has already rescued
us together. Learn how to fight your anxiety with the Word of God so you can take
hold of the abundant life Jesus has purchased for you. Realize you’re not alone in
your struggle with anxiety by prioritizing community and confession over isolation.
Practice bringing your anxieties to God and come to know prayer as a pathway
to peace. This group meets on the 1st, 3rd, & 5th Saturday of each month in room
B208 from 9:30–11:30am from 02/19/2022–04/30/2022. Please purchase the
study guide online prior to class (available at Lifeway or Amazon). Childcare is
