DISCIPLE III
Remember Who You Are
A 32-week study of The Old Testament Prophets and The Letters of Paul available to graduates of DISCIPLE I: Becoming DISCIPLES Through Bible Study.

DISCIPLE Second Generation Studies
Jesus in the Gospels
A 30-week study that builds on the DISCIPLE model of higher commitment, longer-term, disciplined study that fosters community
and transformation. Jesus in the Gospels invites believers to look at Jesus in each of the four Gospels and ask the question
"who is the Jesus that you see?". This study looks at the way each Gospel writer presents events and teachings and at the picture of Jesus
that emerges in each of the Gospels. Contact Robert Bays Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, starting in 9/08, at Windborne UMC.
