The Purpose Driven Life
New Learning for Life class begins January 11, 2026
Sundays, January 11 to February 15, 2026, 9:30, in the Prayer Room in the north-west corner of the church balcony.
Facilitators: Ron and Marilyn Phillips
This 6 week course provides a basic grounding in a Christian view of life. Using Rick Warren’s book of the same title, the course begins with the question, “What on earth am I here for?”, then answers with 5 purposes:
- You Were Planned for God’s Pleasure
- You Were Formed for God’s Family
- You Were Created to Become Like Christ
- You Were Shaped for Serving God
- You Were Made for a Mission
The course requires acquiring the book, The Purpose Driven Life, and it requires reading one short chapter on your own (typically 5 pages in length) each day for 40 days. The class meets every 7 days to discuss the previous week’s readings. Maximum benefit would be gained from reflecting on each day’s reading, perhaps with the help of journaling.
Since class one, January 11, will review the first 7 days’ reading, class participants will need to have their book no later than January 3. Please speak to Ron or Marilyn Phillips if you would like to participate in the class and need a book, and we will arrange it. Or simply let the church office know. And please let us know by December 21 if you will be needing us to order a book for you. The cost is $10.50. You may be able to borrow the book from someone in the church, as many have it.
We would love to have you join us.
