Book Discussion with Pastor Engle
The group will read and discuss Dallas Willard’s The Divine Conspiracy.


The Cults? with Anita Beem
This group will define and explore the major cults.  Why are they not considered fully Christian by much of the Christian church?  What about the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses,  Unitarian Universalists, Scientologists…?



"The Lord Said" with Fred Freeland
This group will focus on quotes of the Lord in Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John (1) to obtain a   better grasp of the scope of the different divine perspectives communicated by our Lord;  (2) to provide a basis for discussion about the Lord within our group;  (3) to help us all to have more familiarity with our Lord's thinking and nature, so as to allow us a closer walk with Him.



Joyful Noise with David Beamer
A group for 6-8 people to have some fun learning how to ring handbells.  The goal will be learning music we can present at Eastertime.  No handbell experience is necessary.  The only two prerequisites are 1) you should be able to read music well enough to know where all your notes are and 2) we need to have everyone at all 6 SNA sessions (otherwise part of the “instrument” is missing).  Questions, contact David Beamer.

 
Not Just a Story - History with Lucas Lockard
In this 6-week session we will look at some of the evidence supporting the claim that the Bible is historically accurate.  We will also address some of the criticisms of biblical accuracy and discuss how they do not undermine the veracity of scripture.
 
    Take a look at our Sunday Night Alive Photo Gallery to catch a glimpse of what SNA looks like.

    * Check back for Sunday Night Alive 25! opportunities which will begin on September 29, 2013.
